SO my questions is...how mnay people get booted at WRX Sanodwn days because of noise because I havent touched my car since the folly of my first session there the other week when I got booted

There is no way my old GTR exhaust was a noisy as your thing Roy so I was never picked up at Sandown. That being said I have witnessed a few cars like commos get booted so I do know it is enforced...well at least while the EPA bloke is there ;)

But its such a farking waste of money to go there and two 2 sessions of tyre pressures. Then one session where you get black flagged...if the Scrutineer is sincere then he will ask what you have changed and if the answer is nothing they wont let you run. If they are pretty easy going they will let you go back out knowing you will get pinged the second time.

Need to find a second hand Racepace R32 GTR exhaust .. or just tottle around wasting $ in sessions and then give it a squirt...so hard to improve on your PBs when you only get 4-5 laps in total :(

Spotted 45+ entries, still hoping to enter late and review weather first.

I don’t have to worry about noise but I understand the annoyance of uncertainty, mines the fire extinguisher, relying on rule judgement calls but least they’ve tried to define what is required for 25g force.

THe noise checking isnt done by WRX club staff but by Sandown. So its out of our control.

I dont recall anyone ever being pipped by them on a WRX day.

My noisy friends tell me the idea is to make sure your exhaust pipe that pokes out under rear door is facing away from the EPA guy.

They must have been narked by the epa.. i saw ad in paper for a parttime job monitoring .. i was going to apply, but it might have been a conflict of interest. whistling.gif

Yes you can buy a CAMS license on day from us.

As I said earlier about the fire extinguisher ... i dont expect scrutineers to be checking bolt size this time round. But cable ties are probably out.

Pity I reckon you can build a full race car out of cable ties and race tape. cheers.gif

I worked at the track that was put in at TopGear live at showgrounds.

The drifters did demo laps. I have never picked up so much smashed fibreglass or seen so many panels held on with race tape in my life.

They actually had panels held on with ties that were designed to break and fall off rather that smash them.

Are there any issues with spectating?

I just wanted to do a bit of look-see, talk to people, see how the event is run, see what I need to do before I hit the track later in the year.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By niZmO_Man · Posted

      12+ months passed so they have no obligation to do a warranty claim. It leaked from the rear circuit. Front circuit was fine, but I tried many times to bench-bleed and in-car bleed (wasted 1L of Penrite racing brake fluid) to no avail. Threw my old BM50 or whatever the standard R32 GT-R BMC is, brakes went back to normal. So from my very limited anecdotal experience, I cannot recommend HFM, even though a lot of their products looks good. Just my experience (I have a genuine Nissan BM57 in a box waiting to be installed now).

      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/
