Let's see some pics!

Sorry couldn't make it guys, had a crap/long day at work and have been driving the v for work the past 2 days as my old man had to borrow my daily, kinda made me not want to drive it. Was supposed to hit up natio with my crew as well tonight but the weather laid rest to that.

Interesting, a few Vs around the stgeorge area...even one in penshurst. But i hardly ever see them lol.

Will definitely come to the V cruise when it's organised.

Hey all, great meeting you all on friday.

Got plenty of pics, i've had a quick look through and their are a fair few nice ones.

I havent had a chance to really sort them out yet, but i might throw some easy ones up later today.

+++ Triple thanks for Messiah taking the pics, awesome job man, made the night im sure.

I know he spied some shots of my carbon fibre engine bay so im keen to see that, just wish id polished it =[

I've got a new CarPC edition for you all in a week or 2 which im sure you'll all like.

as promised... here is a tiny tiny hint of whats to come.

below is a link to the flickr set I'll be adding the pics to as i sort them out. It only has one in there at the moment, and that shouldn't be considered a finished shot for a few reasons... one listed below.

I've noticed that the water drops on the black cars plays merry hell with the hdr process, so this will require some touching up. note to self for future... bring a shammie.

    • 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.
