As above, you require a L2S licence, and depending on numbers ill be able to arrange for free accomodation for us with friends and family in Sydney.

You get plenty of track time, and days are not usually too busy.

Ill be heading up on the Thursday and most likely spending the Fri/Sat playing up in Sydney, trhen heading back on the Sunday...perhaps earlier if i can swing a day at Wakefield or Winton on the way up/back

Didn't you blow your car up Troy ?? What's doing ?

LOL..had a few problems, but skyline_geoff was champion enough to help me out with garage space and buzz words like "it aint so bad...stop dribbling and work":)

So a few weekends of the old manual labour and she was back running, better then ever.

Actually the better then ever comes courtesy of Scotsman steering me in the right direction and RPMGTR getting the engine/tune on song after the little old electrical fire, then the AVCR brain fart:(

But for the time being the ca has never ran so strongly:) Hence me wanting to get back to some of the NSW tracks and A) see the time difference from the mods, B) See if my driving is improving as i have now driven on a larger cross section of track types.

As for Wakefield, i was going to do the UAS day, but if there is an open day on Saturday after EC, then it owudl be more convenient to do it on the way back to Vic

OK great news.

There is a round of the NSW supersprint champs on at Oran Park on Sunday 17/5, so if you can make it up for a weekend it will be a great one.

Oran Park GP is by far the best track in NSW, great fun and a real challenge.

Details are on the NSWRRC website here: http://nswrrc.com/ss-rnd2.html

You will need a L2S CAMS license for the day, full details are in the Supp Regs.

Well im heading up to Sydney this weekend, probably Sunday morning.

EC is easy on brakes with only 1 big stop for turn 2, about 210-220 back to about 75km/h so will make do with a new set of pads. Found my boost leak, it was a split rubber elbow, smallest of bloody, silly splits, but that bit of IC pipe needs replacing anyway...so anyone keen for the drive up this weekend...also there is a spring at Oran Park, but im guessign entries may be full by now.

    • 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
