Hehe that looks funny.

How do you set the pressure? Screw adjustment or different springs?

You adjust the top part of the valve to set pressure and use the locking ring below to lock it in.

Saw JP posted up his laps. Great top speed.

Corner speed is work in progress, good to have excellent weather like that to continue with the steady improvements. Obviously the biggest issue is having the Bs but starting to hit the point where the back is loose on entry, so just a case of stringing it all together. Least it gives me something to think about while at work. Oh and yes, I need to install a seat, I get a bit of back strain from bracing myself due to lack of support. But then I’ll get it from sitting in a seat without cushioning driving to and from events.

john, if we're in different groups at the next day you're welcome to give my seat a shot, it takes 5 minutes to swap it out...

Hey guys, what is the software you are using for the data overlay? That's excellent...

Greg, thanks for seat offer, actually have one, its just on the list to fit, so are spitfires, just a bit further down :).

Sam, Dashware costs $50 or so but you don't need aditional video editing software. I use racechrono2avi but for some reason my output video always runs 0.x seconds longer than the lap so if you string laps together it quickly gets out by seconds.

Richo, if you don't mind could I borrow your 2avi dash layout (sub files) to check vs mine?

Its cheaper to buy an RB20 and install it!

Otherwise years ago this mob were about the cheapest for things http://www.rmsmotorparts.com.au/HomeFrameset.htm May be easier to buy out of Japan yourself

I find dashware works better than race2avi. The fastest lap in race2avi always bugs if you are trying to string laps together.

I'll forward through the conf files.

What I don't like about dashware is the video codec they use.

Pretty serious stuff. It does a couple of things 1) not been on brakes for a while, checks they're working prior to entering big brake zone 2) gets pads next to the rotors for instant application.

good to get into the habit early, becomes second nature in no time. especially if your brakes only have about 2 1/2 good laps in them! A left foot dab is also good to tuck the nose in mid corner if your running a bit wide.

      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

      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/
