Got any runs of the 3 buddy drift with monkhouse and the blue ute?

That was the highlight of the weekend, actually was some of the best drifting I have seen. Looked mint

none of my cameras captured that run sadly... someone filmed from the crowd tho.. can be found on my page if you have a look.

Not sure if I missed it but how did you hook up the accusump - did you use the electronic solenoid or just hook it up directly so it's constantly filling and discharging?

You put on an amazing smoke show at wtac btw!!

Cheers dude!

accusump is as easy as possible.. no elec solenoid,. the sump is sitting behind the drivers seat and handle is accessable from the seat, i have it covered as per cams regs. Braided line goes down the transtunnel and hooks up to a T piece on the oil relocator kit in between the block and the oil filter

when motor is off the valve is off so it has a storage of oil for when i start it next time, when i start it i open the valve all the way, start it, let it warm up and bleed any air out then close the valve to half and thats where it stays for operation. the reason behind the half valve position is because we found that it was discharging too quickly fully open and then taking too long to fill up.

Every set up is different.. I did some data logging with valve set in different positions before I found the best one that worked for me.

Ill get some pics up soon of it.. Enclosure is nothing fancy lol just a rolled sheet of alloy

    • 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
