My front right shock is gone so I will have to give this one a miss. Not to mention I'm gonna be falling from the sky at 200kph while the race is going :)

Fabs, check out the info from one of the other Mallala prac day threads :no:

Many variables on oil temp mate - power output, rev range you are using (ie experience on track) sump size, oil pump, turbos (water vs oil cooled) etc. Usually a stockish GTR (with standard initial mods of exhaust, boost, intake, tune up to around 240rwkw) will be up there over 100 degrees after 8 laps or so, ambient temperature dependant. For tomorrow, with a session of a couple of sprints and a cool down in between (which will also help your tyres, and brakes cool down) you'd be pretty good. Main thing is to let it cool once it is hot for a lap or two then you can get back on it. Or you could fit an oil cooler in record time.........

There is absolutly no way I could make this event because of work commitments ffs but I think next session I will come out. Been out a whole heap of times to watch a friend of mine race, he has a white VL Turbo, got 1:22 or something very similar as his fastest lap and will be coming out shortly with more mods so I think I'll definatly come down for the next event and enter.

Goodluck guys and no one twist there cars. I was there last time watching when an evo 8? hit the wall on the straight after the hairpin just as the kink in the straight is. Slightly damp roads + full racing slicks = understeer :rofl: Never heard what happened to the driver, he was taken to hospital not moving tho

New oil and air filter are in, new pod, new plugs, topped up brake and steering fluids, checked brake pads and under body for leaks. Gotta do tyre pressures tomorrow before i head out.

What air pressures should I be running on 18's? 225/40 front 245/45 rear. Was thinking around 30-32 front 32-34 rear?

      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/
