The origial clutch I smoked real bad wasn't a UAS clutch Chris - it came from another workshop.

The UAS one is similar - but stronger clamp load for my setup.

It still doesn't hold 3rd and 4th with 330rwkw on the drag strip (little slippage) , but Is OK for circuit.

It will be fine in Sam's car.

When I wear this one out - definitely going a twin or tripple.

:D

Ha ha ha

Not a good day for b-man today......

Car has been intermittently not starting recently - seems to be when I leave the ingintion on but not running for like 5 mins - leave it for an hour and it's OK.........

( ie seems heat (electrical not engine) releated)

Now the damn thing won't start at all now - so I changed over to my stock ECU and starts every time - but won't rev past 3000 RPM (no AFM) - so I reckon my ECU is stuffed ........ fark it !

And to top it off - I scratched the shit out of my rear left wheel today on the gutter - some prick parked me in - I farken hate that...

Far Canal.

:D

    • 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
