We are on the final list with both cars - EVO X and R35 GTR, so come up and say 'hi' :)

Saw that. Hope you guys have a ball. I'll try to avoid the combination of whiplash and jizzing my pants as you tear past me :)

Awesome, heard back from ASP today and all details have been confirmed ... I'll be camping there Saturday night also. See you guys there. I'm sure I'll be wearing the standard issue gay orange overalls ... but I'll be sure to keep the SAU-SA cap on. :dry:

so you might be a contender for mt alma especially in a production class against the flat out race cars is another story but your not going there to beat them

True......Third outright - 0.4 seconds off P1 in the GTR, and thats on the factory Dunlop road tyres. A great result

Telling though was that the GTR clocked outright fastest time into the first split all weekend where power really counts in the drag race up the hill :happy:

Our Evo X missed the top 12 shootuout by 0.1 seconds or thereabouts.

A great weekend for the Willall R35 and crew :D

Was awesome to witness the GTR in action. I've got pics and vids to post up after the track day at Mallala today fellas.

Martin, coulda sworn you made the top 12. Bugger! Oh well, next year then? :happy:

Stay tuned. :D

went for a drive up that way yesterday. lots of cool cars out.

unfortunately the combination of wet weather, small child and my poor preperation for the conditions meant that i couldn't stay too long.

did you have a missfire issue at Mallala on the weekend? Even with that, your car is seriously fast!

Yes, very frustrating. :) Tried different leads, coil packs and gapping/cleaning up the plugs in between sessions, but unfortunately didn't have any spare new evo 9 plugs with me to fix the problem. It was painfully breaking down under load, so I was short shifting and throtling at 70% to avoid it on the straights. Despite the misfire it was good to get some track time and use the tyres to keep the lap times somewhat respectable. In the end it was only a demo, but worth all the pain just to drift turn 1! :D

    • 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/  
    • 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.
