^^ it has fixed my problem so i think that was it.. Other than that, i havnt changed anything to the car at all!!

Got told by my mechanic that it will improve it, which it has.. Might not help on all cars, but im happy..

Im not to sure if you can just empty it.. Shouldnt cost you that much.. If you really keen let me know and i will go talk to my mechanic again and ask him exactly what it will do..

he just suggested me to change it, seemed fine ever since..

I "know a guy" who has the manifold > charcoal cannister lines disconnected altogether, and he is getting excellent fuel economy. 400 - 450 k's before the fuel light comes on (mildly modded series 1 R33 with tuned PFC)

I don't think it's the cannister......

ok had the afrs checked again today and the mechanic pulled about 10% fuel out aparantly.. ive done about 70km havnt seen any amazing results quite yet.... does seem slightly better at this stage though..

ive just filled up with a full tank now so i can compare accuratly i guess...

hmmm my o2 sensor is *still* cycling between 0.5 - 0.6 volts however, which is what it was doing before i had the retune today... It does show diff numbers sometimes but mainly .5 - .6

      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/
