John you looking at sat or sunday?

if the weather forcast for sun is still ok later in the week i'll prob come along as well.

Both if they are not raining, else the one where there is no rain.

$340 to sign up for both days, $200ea otherwise.

Sunday is timed, Saturday is not. Doesn't bother me either way.

Also Jack did you realise that the track was wet?!?!? In the wet the car was still entering turn 11 at mach 3.

Disappointing day :( Was having car issues anyway, so probably best for the car that it was rained out.

Thanks for helping with my Power FC hand controller Ant. Good to meet you and thanks for the entertaining entries onto the front straight!

Now to wait for PI in august...

Yeah got some good video (including of the off :P ) Camera position was decent, can see around the mirror, but will be better with the arm extended. Will upload them to YouTube when I get a chance.

Also Dean, if youre around. Sorry for not jumping in the car with you. The official that was with Justin say they had it all sorted.

For Phillip Island come grab me, as they generally do a sighting lap for new drivers right at the start of the day.

A 32 is pretty damn good, that was your first time ya?

helps to have a really crappy time to beat!

Katie took a few pics if anyone wants them:

Nah mate, brakes worked fine, was carrying heaps of speed through the first kink and to avoid running into the back of Luke hit the anchors hard, car tried to do a 'Brisby' on me and face the other way, managed to miss the armco and Luke....

Serves you right for trying to CHEAT!

How you finding the driving position in the Evo as a giant Jack? I guess you can probably sit a bit further back than me, but that would put the steering wheel even further out of reach. Also the pedals are all wrong, I find my heel hits either the carpet or my toes are on the pedal stem. The dash is also a problem, its so chunky and goes down so low.

God I am happy to have a working skyline again - slotted straight back in.

HAHAHAHAHAHHA that made my morning :cheers:

Anyway looks like the evo will take a bit of getting used to Jack... no doubt with more seat time you will be punching out low 20's soon :thumbsup: cheaterer :P

Contour GPS. Same as HD but has an embedded 4hz GPS unit as well, I think they fixed the sound issues the early HD's had as well.

The camera writes GPS data to the MOV file. Drop the single file into DashWare and you are done.

The video quality on the GoPro is only slightly better imo.

What I do like about the Contour is the package format (size of the camera) is much smaller and neater. And you can twist the lens.

    • 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.
