If it has a rotary engine, I hope it's a S6 Duc, they are SEX cars with little more than the right set of wheels.

Good to hear Ash will be with us again next year.

Edited by chops

Where were you going to go ASH? BAck to VIC?

Let me know when you guys cruise -- preferably b4 feb 1st (unfortunately lose my licence for a year then :) )

I still have a prob with turbo/boostcontroller too hence have lost a bit of power (but still reckon i can keep up on cruises!!!!).

Cars also not liking heat (the otherday had steam pissing out from cooling system and my air con cacked it! -- i have to take it back to place that did front end repairs (silvers)

Cheers fellas. :P

Yeah Chris it was looking highly likely my work would take me back to Vic, but an awesome oportunity came up in Adel, so I'm stay which I'm pleased about.

Duc is going to the "brap" club hey? I like Cosmo's personally, shame they so damned heavy! But i can't think about "new" cars, gotta stick with ole bluey a while longer.

Have a good xmas / new year everyone!

hey Ash, are you doing anything christmas eve? if not come out for some drinks.

as for what rotary, lets just say it has a timeless shape. :P

having said that, its still in the pipeline.

Thats good to hear ash!!! I need to find some new work tooo!!!! Electrosux are a bit boring!!!!!

What about the old school s3 rotor with a series 4/5 motor: Have afriend who has one with over 330RWkW, they have awesome weight distributuion, it is a SERIOUSLY quick car!!!!!!; Only probklen is they are a bit of acoffin!

But out in Allice springs (where this bloke lives) there isnt a lot to hit apart from native fauna, (ie no speed limits === big fun!!!!!!!)

ps sorry about grammarrr fellas: have to be quick boss is watching!!!!

a little off topic... i saw it the other day too, i think its an RX-2, looks awesome!!! someones put some time & effort into that one. :)

i would love an S8 FD3S if i could afford it, but i would be happy with an S4/5 FC3S :)

    • 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.
