Hey guys, just as the titile says.

Im doing a brake conversion, fronts are done but rears are being a pain. Dont normally do things cars but if its just nuts and bolts I usually figure things out as I go along.

I have R34 spec calipers and rotors and using Just japs 5 stud hubs, Yes I have done endless hours of searching but none of the other threads never mentioned this being a problem.

At the moment Im not too sure on how to get the rear hubs out. Picture to what I want off is here;

Now Yes this may be a stupid question, but it doesnt seem to just want to pull off. I have tried with a fair bit of force but I didnt want to break anything just in case I have missed something. Is it just stuck on the bearing or what?

I have looked at the back and can see a few bolts, Now which bolts if any are holding it in? I took a picture a few months ago

These pics are a few months old so cant exactly remember how many there are or what not. I believe theres 4 of the red ones though.

(I took these pics a few months ago so cant quite remember how many there were or what not.) Or do I just have to pull harder? Is there any hints/tricks to get these things off?

Any Help would be much appreciated.

Just want to get it done as driving around with mismatched rims isnt exactly a good idea :( Ive been lucky so far with the cops but dont want to push my luck.

Cheers guys. :(

    • 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
