which are??

between the committee of the club that hired the track and WSID.

members feel free to talk to the committee about the issue but in the meantime we are not going to discuss it in a public forum and possibly prejudice the outcome.

You can also ask WSID about our discussions if you wish.

i think dirt wants his nine sec pass b4 christmas......

actually its a 6-7hr trip for us to attend....children need to be minded....hotels booked...tilt-tray or trailers need to be booked etc. We need as much notice as possible, unforunately its not just a matter of packing the car and heading out to WSID for the day.

but...yes a 9 before christmas would be nice!

So is this day going to go ahead? I need to know asap as there are a few things that I would like to do to the car beforehand. If it isn't going to go ahead on the 26th, then I can take a different path and save time and money doing things once.

Whilst I'm not personally racing,I do need to budget both dollars and time for a 6 hour round trip,accomodation etc,so the sooner we get the "go" for (hopefully) the 26th of this month,the easier it will be on my selfish a***,LOL!

At this stage, we are waiting for WSID to get back to us regarding the situation. I understand the difficulties, particularly for out of towners and the need for warning for the date, but there is not much we can do until WSID confirm the date and what it will cost.

For what its worth, I doubt the date will be next weekend. We want to make sure as many of the original attendees as possible can make it since they are the ones who put their money down first.

The date isn't confirmed yet? That is leaving things just a little too late. I was under the impression that it would be the 26th. What difference does it make if the original attendees can make it or not? I know alot of the guys that turned up on the 5th that are not impressd at all.

I need to know when its on as I would like to prepare for the SC event on the 17th December. If the drag day isn't on next Sat, then I will take a different route with the next mods and not bother preparing for the DD. I'll gladly raise my hand to give WSID a kick in the pants. :(

      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/
