Hey Guys,

With Oran Park closing very very soon it is time to take advantage of the track while it is still there.

They run open practice days on all the 3 layouts of the track, this Thursday (23-07-09) is going be a GP layout.

What you need.

CAMS level 2 Speed licence. You can join Skylines Australia NSW and buy a licence which will last you approximately $150 total. This last for a whole year and gives you access to these days at both Oran Park and Eastern Creek and Wakefield.

A working car, with no oil leaks and loose parts etc.

A Helmet and long cotton clothing.

Fuel, some lubes and your toolbox. Food is not available at the track, so bring some or take a trip into Narrellen.

Camera (There will be some pretty cool race cars out at the track.)

Probably something else I forgot.

For More info contact Oran Park. www.oranpark.com.au

See you there,

Dan.

Lol, I'm looking for pictures later tonight hopefully... see how busy I get between now and then, followed by how buggered I am as a result.

I'm going either way... OP GP Rocks out!

Mate these day's are the best kept secret... I could have lapped continuously from 9:30am to 4:30pm if the car could have handled it, only once was there the maximum of 4 cars out there. Mostly there was only 2 cars on track.

      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?

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      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/
