96 series 2 4 door pearlwhite, auto. Fmic and zorst , after market chip. I spoke to him briefly. Didn't get his name. Very nice car I saw him do 14.85 which pissed me off no end , my best was 15.06...:)

Mick and I got 3 runs together he got 2 out of 3.....claims he was being a good son in the 2nd I went from 2nd to 5th in the third. All in all I think his car is quicker.

It was a good night I got 8 runs in then MRE turned up and stole my helmet...:) no burnouts in the staging lanes this time .........he's maturing nicely..:D

Only one holdup for oil on the track... an old Ford V8 I think... much better than the usual Sat night performance.

I heared that some one in a "shitty"green Skyline went down the track 3 times without a helmet...... come on now .....own up..:)

All in all 1st and 3rd Weds promise to be pretty good .

japtaxi....come over and have a chat.......goes for anyone else out there too......all the other "grumpy old men" out there seem to be driving old Fords or Holdens... Is there something wrong with me???

I'm heading out on the 20th with a few mates - probably end up taking the bike down though. Hoping for somewhere in the 11s, because I'm too much of a wuss to launch it hard :) I'll be on the red/white/black CBR929RR... unless I decide to take the 'line for one last run down the strip before it's sold :(

      R32 Gtst - Track Car

      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/
