John, Chris dont worry i found one for you just like Ash's : straw hat

BTW Chris congrates on the 66.91. I've been kicking myself over where i could have found 1.3s on that last lap......hold it flat over the finish line maybe :woot:

lol :D

Did you have the semi's on still in the arvo after i left?

Spewing i went home early with a 67.2 - getting close to the 66 marker which seems to be "the spot" for street tyres.

hmm, no after I realised the semis put me into 'modified' class i frantically put the ku36's back on, missed one session doing this and then had one final lap to try and beat Chris's 66. Turns out even my best semis time wasnt good enough regardless and doubt i could have got there even if i had stayed on the KU's . Seems i have been watching too much Mark Webber and his tyre strategies are rubbing off on me!

still it was great a great tussle with Chris on the day an i enjoyed the competition. theres always next year.....

    • 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
