I am waiting to see what tax man has in store for me this year after years of being severelly anally raped by him. I would like to make the most of the next few track days with the RB20 making the power it is so will hold off until i have some AO50s. That was if the engine pops then I at least had a chance of getting the most out of the setup with a std RB20...as the next step will be stroked goodness with billet bits, multi throttle inlet and 6 speed :)

It still has a 20G on it at the moment but have a billet TD06L2 to try when I can get around to installing it and the tuner is a little bit quieter. Racepace are pretty busy with preparing some World Time Attack entered cars so don't want to bother him with tuning my thing until he has had a breather

so how's this going?

ps happy birthday for last week.

Nothing is going for the lil R32 at the moment. A hose under the inlet manifold let go in traffic and I cooked the engine :( Damn peak hour traffic and a55holes who think you are just lane hopping and not trying to pull off main road to save killing an engine :(

So its got a leak head gasket in No.3 or 4...cant remember which cylinder came up as the problem. Still making good power and still driving it daily...its just that it is pressuring the coolant system and missing pretty bad at idle. New engine will heopfully be in around Aus day after engine bay is sprayed and then throwing the 10cm housing on the thing, with Tomei 256 cams and back to back the billet 73HTA and Greddy 20G. Other delay was the R34 6spd that I had stripped for refresh before putting in came back needing a few too many little bits to be like new so going with the trusty R33 5 spd I hae had for years as back. up. Mega gutted that the 6 spd didnt work out...

And thanks...I feel 6 years older, not just one :(

Well after abusy few months with a new job/project and slowly re-wiring the Sierra and rebuilding its engine...I put it aside to do a few weeks of rather intense work on teh old R32. Its now just about ready for a full years of track duties.

So did some re-wiring. Re-sprayed the engine bay....did a load of other minor tweaks...and then put the 20G backl on for the first round of back to back tests provided the new engine isnt a shitter and craps itself on run in :)

    • 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
