Not a bad day overall, only managed to beat my PB by 0.77 on the very last lap of the day. Seemed like the track was coming good towards the end as many of the best laps were that final session.

I'll be glad if I never hear another VTEC engine and no exhaust (seemed like it) at full song lol

Results don't list club so no idea who is who from SAU VIC. Just listing who I know...

We where scattered all over the place anyway.

Still a good day, just lacked the social aspect a little.

Lots of fun had on track esp when they combine group E and F (why I have no idea).

I just missed the airborn Pirus over the turn 10 exit curve.

Yeah - that last session was epic!

Really enjoyed following round the R33 (think the numberplates were JDM33), definitely quicker than me down the straights, but I was closing in under braking and probably about lineball around corners.

Weather was good, even if a little hot. Word for the day is VtechYo

My tyres were shot, so nothing but stuffing around and taking my uncle for laps... Was about a second off my normal pace, so wasn't much point pushing for times...

The last two session playing around with Richo was fun, I didn't get the gopro out all day, was a shame, because I spent a few laps there pissing myself laughing at some of the antics in the afternoon

Yeah wasn't quite the same, nothing like a free feed to get people together hehe

No airborne! Was being stupid and then remembered you lot were coming up fast, looked in the mirrors and it all went to shit lol. Think a few of us cut the grass over the day :)

Yo, nah Justin & Troy aren't members. Will do my best to convince them to join up though! Haha.

My RaceChrono tells me I did a couple of 1:45.1's, but I just couldn't manage a 44... next time!

I've seen posts indicating Calder has been dropped while PIARC round brought in, any chance to get the front page updated to clarify current plan.

Might also want to clarify if prior PI/Winton were a select round

That is what we discussed over pizza wasn't it?

Edit: You weren't at that meeting.....that would be why.

Yeah he wasn't there, he was 10mins away sitting on his couch.

But yeah - dropping 2 rounds... Maybe update the first post or something so it's clear for everyone

    • 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?

    • 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.
