can i enter in my n/a or will i look stupid?

Do it! You'll have so much fun.

The skidpan is concrete and you're not allowed to sit there doing a static burnout, so I think your tyres should live :)

haha ok im in then :) quick question how much abuse do the tyres take? will i need to bring 2 spare?

well if you plan on doing this:

yes

that said I looped it a few times at last deca and had some fun and you could not tell there was any extra wear on the tyres.

the skid pan is quite low grip so very difficult to damage your rubber.

A quick run down of the DECA weekend.

FRIDAY

Most people head up on Friday/Friday night at there own pace and time depending on when they can leave.

And there is a small group that wait till saturday morning and leave real early.

The people that go up on Friday have more time to play around with there cars if needed and can enjoy a couple

of beers and a chat with others and is a great way to meet people you may only know as users of the forum.

This time around Bec has arranged for us to stay at the Victoria Lakes Caravan Park. We have stayed there in the

past and i can remember when the lake had water in it. Now its a dry.. But you do need to ring and arrange your own cabin.

DECA..Accommodation...CLICK HERE..

SATURDAY

We get up and head to the Mc Donalds for some food then head out to DECA 5 min out of Shep. Gettig there around 8

WE do DECA bla bla bla and finish up around 4 ish i think.. Then we all HELP pack up... :O We really like people that help out.

Then we head back to the caravan park and knock back 2 or 3 beers before we head out to tea and have a look at the

Shep night life... :):):D:D:D Heading back to the park at what ever time.

SUNDAY

Head home....

sweet thanks, better take some stockys incase i get carried away :)

Yeah smart idea. I had to replace some tyres at the beaurepairs in shepo, lets just say it wasnt cost effective and i regret not bringing spares ;)

Faxed this arvo,

Maybe this will be my Deca debut with a handbrake? :D

Could be Sileighty devastating or could just be embarrassing when I loop it a thousand times.

hahaha sweet that should be funny....

hopefully i should be able to get mine sorted also....

looking forward to it... it should be a good day...

Good stuff rob, i was just going to facebook you and ask if you were competing again

What are you doing to your handbrake? tightening?

Ive got a pretty big list too, least its over a month away.

    • 12+ months passed so they have no obligation to do a warranty claim. It leaked from the rear circuit. Front circuit was fine, but I tried many times to bench-bleed and in-car bleed (wasted 1L of Penrite racing brake fluid) to no avail. Threw my old BM50 or whatever the standard R32 GT-R BMC is, brakes went back to normal. So from my very limited anecdotal experience, I cannot recommend HFM, even though a lot of their products looks good. Just my experience (I have a genuine Nissan BM57 in a box waiting to be installed now).
    • How dare you sell your unreliable Skyline and buy a reliable, Toyota/Yamaha car with a strong gearbox, torsen LSD and Toyota reliability. At least you won't need to worry about oil pumps, big catch can, oil restrictors, blowing off power steering belts, sheering off 3rd gear, failing ABS relays/pumps, etc.
    • 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/
