Hi Chris

Got the paperwork today - we will be on figure 8 drift track for parking (Sports Sedans)

Heres the new paint job - will have to sort suspension down there - too wet last meeting.

All rebuilt but no idea with the sachs, will give me something to do.

Big field but will be aiming for a mid 1.36

Hoping for PB for self and car!

If anyone else is competing, we will have 8kva generator, welder, power tools, and everything except for what I'll need, if we can be of any help come visit

Hey Stuart - that would be awesome and make Dad's day - we'll be sure to come up!

Cheers!

Chris

Hi Evil

Sorry, we were only just talking that we did not see you and didnt get a lot of time.

Was having issues tunning rebuilt shocks and bloody sway bars would work in pits and freeze on track - so I appologise to you and Duncan H - got to say g'day to Neil for point 2 of a second.

PS Duncan H - wasn't being rude, but the tall chap I was talking to was giving me lots of required information - he actually built the car and was of great help

Cheers

Catch up soon

awesome day today - got sunburnt !! Stu - I did walk past but you seemed very busy so didnt want to disturb!

Happy times with Dad(who is 73) smashing the Historic Group A Lap record in qualifying....then in race on Saturday........only to then put it into a wall 6-7 corners later.

Have to admit that VL GIO car/driver is a wicked combo!

oh no? which car in the wall?

and what was the historic GRP A record? well done. :)

GIO GTR....turn 7.....wrong gear so he looped it and hit on the RHS....smashed the rear hub and suspension + front suspension and 3 wheels. I nearly went off in sympathy lol.

got the car going for Sunday.... but a rear of the grid start with 3 race meeting old tyres didn't help.

Old lap record by Terry Ashwood was 1.41:8....dad did a 1.40:8......terry then went onto smash that on Sunday with a 1.40:5....I recon Dad's car is capable of 1.38's with us rookies!

BMW went well with David Towe....finished 2ND!

      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?

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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/
