Thanks to JEM and SAU execs for the great night. I was the guy asking too many questions about circuit cars -sorry!

I also found Nitto's pitch interesting, learnt a lot about forged internals etc. It was also interesting that he didn't mention any prices which I found amusing. Hopefully I will see you all again at the next track day when my car is up and running :)

never too many questions.

I was actually a little surprised at how few questions there were.

the talks were very in depth though.

, on the nitto front, if you have to ask.....

Had a great old time.

+1 for the guys at JEM putting on the night. Wasn't expecting it to go so late, but there was a lot of info to get through. Put the tech in tech night at some stages!

Was interesting seeing/ hearing tuning philosophy's and personal prefernaces.

I was going to ask Andrew about whether or not a balanced billet crank negated the need for a damper pulley kit on some cars - but Eric seemed to answer it for me before I could get to Andrew privately.

Bit shy still at my age hehe...

I did have a talk to one of the JEM staff at the end.

He himself could have given the type of talk on builds that Andrew gave being an RB specialist full time at JEM.

I'd like to hear him next time.

All the speakers were superb! :happy:

+1 thank for all involved.

The best part of it was that every answer was explained on a level so that a novice could understand. Even if a few questions were very technical.

Really well done.

I'm now more not sold on E85 for the costs. Great in a new car, but the $ to convert seems too high.

Plus, I'm convinced that once Julia see's it becoming popular, she'll slap tax's on it so the cheap bowser benefit will disappear.

Thanks to everyone at JEM and the execs at SAU for organising!

Was a fantastic night, covered a lot of bases and such a variety of topics.

Bobby's new project is absolutely incredible in person. Can't wait to spot it at the local Coles sometime soon! :)

Edit - great photos guys!

I wasn't able to get many shots in - no experience shooting cars but guess I can change that :P

Spent most of my time meeting and greeting and a big kudos to Nick for the lift home :)

As covered by other people, not many questions were asked mostly due to how in depth the talks were - very informative on a lot of areas and also the openness of what goes on too. Z Tune and "Skola Tune" GTRs were very impressive.

Wow looks like it would have been a great night, I'm kicking myself for pulling the pin, the Tom Tom said I would get there just after 9 so I pulled out thinking I look like an idiot pulling up as everything's rapping up. Looks like I missed a top night.

haha I had the same problem, was way late due to M5. On the bright side I missed most of the nitto bit :)

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By niZmO_Man · Posted

      12+ months passed so they have no obligation to do a warranty claim. It leaked from the rear circuit. Front circuit was fine, but I tried many times to bench-bleed and in-car bleed (wasted 1L of Penrite racing brake fluid) to no avail. Threw my old BM50 or whatever the standard R32 GT-R BMC is, brakes went back to normal. So from my very limited anecdotal experience, I cannot recommend HFM, even though a lot of their products looks good. Just my experience (I have a genuine Nissan BM57 in a box waiting to be installed now).

      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

      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/
