Nirimba?

Quakers Hill near Blacktown Matt.

Not really my thing Steveo, I really enjoy the Sutton type stuff but I find Nirimba a bit meh. Sorry, just me............waits for flaming

That's why I very rarely do skids, just don't see the point and also can't afford that much rubber all the time ;)

Fair enough!

It's designed for people to try and do the best time through the course just like Sutton, the difference is at Sutton there's no skids, at Nirimba it's perfectly allowed if the driver wants to do it during their run and smoke the place up.

Matt this is Nirimba. Not as fun as Sutton but it's still great to get the bug out of your system. Most of the guys who go will bring 2 spare wheels and rubbish tyres from their local tyre shop (usually free) so they stuff the free rubber and then have their normal tyres/wheels safely tucked away and not worn out

Ah here's the video I wanted, this is a video made by Eric, sort of gives you a better idea - it's not a burnout comp, there's just a lot of smoke. This is the next club event btw people - entry thread up soon!

Here's what it looks like when you care about your time and dont just muck around

Here is me at Texi answering the big question NOBODY asked! Can you drift a 2004 Subaru Liberty 3.0R?

The answer is no :(

Rwd has to chose between launching or corner speed..

Soften damper on the rear and back off the rear swaybar, if your pro enough u can pre load ur clutch so it doesn't shock the tyres as much

LOL fatz

was that you filming her and vica versa? if so then while your quicker off the line she is far and away a better camera operator! nice little pan down to the kid at the end jenna!

I don't think swaybars do much until you load up a corner or side of the car. I think they do little to nothing to influence traction in a straight line

saw the pics and vids on facebook, looked like an awesome event.

ps: anyway possible to speak with the track owners/insurance to allow ext gate at track days :)

if not then looks like i can only be apart of it if you guys need help on the day.

    • 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
