Great day and a really great track...will def be headin down there again.

Sorry we lost you guys on way home, we pulled into the wrong servo dumb

oh....and i dont wanna see photos of my car.....going round corners at 45 degrees....damn suspension

Oh so the laps are timed and everything!? Sounded like a massively fun day, please let us know when the next $50 one is on!!! I'll be there.

Stolen Borrowed from the Supra Forum

1 with the poor 34 in it, and 1 with a little red beast(evil weevil) and a little white beast(too_ much_ boost) on the gas, I had to blow it up to 300% to see though.

Yes, Lou had a moment in his 34 but we managed to get him back on the road after spending most of the afternoon under the car for him as he didnt have any real mechanical aptitude.

After all the mucking around and we rebuilt his intercooler and front end with race tape and had him driving home, we got a call from him saying that he had blown another tyre on the way home and he didnt have a spare.

Given that a towy wanted $600 to come pic him up... Anthony one of Autosports regulars pulled over and lent him one of his semi's to get him home. Poor Lou couldnt turn a trick!

Hopefully we will see Lou at the next Autosports event at Wakefield Park on 9th May

that event above is infact the Wakefield Park event. The next Marulan event will be announced in the next week or so... still not sure about prices but i can assure you it wont ever be $50 again. That was a promo for the new facilities in which Autosports was happy to promote for them

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
