I'm looking forward to this. Haven't done a hillclimb since 2007...

We'll see how the 180SX goes against my old Datto's times! I think the Datto would have the edge on it there.

the skyline and the 1200 didnt have much between them did they ?

the sil will go ok i reckon, might need some suspension tuning though :(

the handling is getting better, and have the brake issue under control now too - it was a wheel bearing problem...

46.24 to the GTR

46.3something for the 1200 IIRC

It will be the first time out for my 180SX and I'm going to be a bit rusty, so if I manage to get into the 47s I'll be happy with that...

Vehicle requirements for the training are normal road car requirements.

Sedan Race cars are welcome

Can I bring my Radical up there to play or is the lack of a roof exclude me?.

Neil.

Hi Neil,

Its not the roof, its that you can't have an instructor in the passenger seat in most open wheeler race cars as they only have one seat.

If the radical has 2 seats we are laughing, no problems.

If it has one seat you can probably still come, you will just miss out on the extra tuition that the 2 seaters are getting.

Jeff,,,thanks for clearing that up. Mine is a single seater,,,but not an open wheeler,,,so no instructor anyway.

I'm only really interested in track practice time,,,maybe this event is not for me.

Thanks

Neil.

    • 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/
