Guys be carefull of the dump flange being thinner by making sure the wastegate arm doesn`t hit the heat cover bracket as camden mentioned. this happened to me and we could not figure out why the boost would go insane over 14lbs.Used washers to move the bracket back and the wastegate now has full movement.Big performance difference,believe me.

Good write up and good replies too.. Thanks... Gonna be attempting this by myself tomorrow so thought i'd better see if I needed any special tools or supplies. Instead of fitting a hi-flow at the moment i intend to just smash the guts out of my old cat.

Just did this today... very straight forward and managed to do it on my own no worries. Only thing i'll add is that it's much easier to do if you remove the top part of the heat sheild around he stock dump. I couldnt as my heat sheild bolts rounded off the heads.

Did mine on the weekend and what started off as an easy install ended up taking slightly longer than expected, due to two of the bolts snapping off.

Took out the turbo and managed to get one bolt out by angle-grinding two sides for a flat surface and using an adjustable wrench to twist it out.

Make sure you either use bolt grease or WD40 to lube both the bolt and the thread hole before you put the bolts back in, otherwise 15+ year rust WILL seize the bolts!

Yeah I used hi temp anti seize greese as i do on everything now...best 10 bux i spent a few years ago now.

maybe I should invest in that too, been using bearing grease for years (I know it's not the right thing to use) hahahaha

      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/
