hey there4, a few months (5 or 6) i crashed my dads brand new magna lol, wasnt a write off but i did $15k damage, it went to romanos and was supposed to tkae a month, it took nearly 2 and a half months due to delays. I doubt this is normal for them though. One of the people needed to fix the car was on holiday for opart of the time, and they had to order new parts from japan.

BUT they did a great job and the car came back driving good as new.

Yeah i wouldnt expect it back by the weekend. Its just unrealistic. I had a minor bingle like ures a while back and they took about 3 weeks to get parts ex jap and get it back to me. Not bad really it could have been longer.

Dont call them every second day to see if its ready though, that drives em nuts. They do however appreciate if you can source parts for em though as Michael said earlier he might be able to help you out so u can always call em up and say " i had a friend offer parts want to buy them off him?"

    • 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
