Here are a few of the better vids from the weekend in Armidale.

This was my first outing in the new car so there were plenty of mistakes

but I had lots of fun. My best run of the day was third fastest on one of the tracks,

could have been quicker but was haveing too much fun getting sideways.

Hi Matt,

Did you get any videos of my Silvia running?

Was good to see some other imports out there having a run.

Cheers Brett

Sorry mate no footage of your car but i think my mate with the Z20 may have some.

Also might add the winner of the day was a Honda Prelude......With V tech.. :P

Yeah bit hard to beat front wheel drives, but I know who had the most fun on the day, and it definately wasn't him.

Got the results in the mail today and it turns out i got the best time in the last stage after being asked to town it down.

Funny, that was the most boring run of the day for me, no sideways action at all.

neat and tidy is always quicker than trying to wring its neck wheel spinning.

awesome result...faster than Brett eh?...lol

On that course he was faster than me, but it did suit the GTR, was the only course during the day that was wet, it rained just before the last course, and the silvia is not the best in the wet with 244rwkw and bald road tyres.

Was a great day though and good to see someone out there in a GTR having a go.

BTW I ended up finishing 5th outright and 1st in class. Not too bad considering the power and how much it was on the limiter sideways through out the day. Car was run basically the same as when run at Compak Attak in March, save for different rear tyres.

Now that ive had a taste of what this car has to offer im keen as to get it to a real track. I will be going to wsid next wednesday night and then hopefully to a track day, maybe wakefield park.

Will be good to see what it runs down the strip, what sort of power does it have? Keep us informed as to how you go at WSID.

    • 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
