After some long waiting and about 2 years in the making, finally got the car in one piece and drove it to a show. Was a great day out, the only thing was the sky decide to rain, then shine, then rain, then shine again.... Which mean it was hard to keep the window (or the car) clean...

Done alot to the car, but if anyone got suggestion on what to improve, I will listen. Overall though, I think this is where I want the car to stay, just hope nothing blows up now...

My car on its own.... :smoker:

That is awesome..

Im a huuuge fan :)

don't bring to australia, cos I will have to steal it :D

whats that front bar? almost looks like a 400r bar on the sides..

Thanks, given that information I probably will not bring the car to Australia then... :laughing-smiley-014:

The Front Bar is a TBO Front Bar from Japan. But you are going to have a hard time finding it because the company no longer exist... There are still some copies around, but it isn't easy to find. It is not like you can just call up Top-Secret and ask for a G-Force Front Bar if you know what I mean.

Thanks guys,

Yes, a set of deep dish wheel had cross my mind ages ago. I can easily use a 18x9.5 wheels with a -10 offset (what it is runing right now)

The only reason I haven't change is because too many people with good Japanese wheels (Rays, Blitz, Weds, etc...), but there are only 100 set of these ASSO Interspeed Centerlock Wheel ever made and only 1 other person in UK have it. RB Motor in USA had the other set on their car as far as I know.

So... It is a case of do I want to give up exclusivitiy for MASSIVE Bling!!! :)

As for the Air Pod... It is a bit close to the Turbo, but I am out of room. Too much stuff under the bonnett... :laughing-smiley-014:

Thanks for the kinds words again guys.... :)

Yep, that's exactly what the man did :)

Looks sweet as a nut and nice to see you getting some support on some brave work. Very unusual to see anyone moving away from the traditional and original form in England. (Hence my other post)

Yes, just burn them yourself to bring the color out.

Word of advice:

1. low heat...titanium go blue at low heat, and goes white at higher heat... If I get a chance to do it again, I am sure I can do it better.

2. WEAR EYE PROTECTIVE WEAR!!! A spark came out of that pannel and almost took my eye out....

But the color is great once it is done. Really make you know that it is made of titanium. :)

Again, thanks Stuart!!! Hope to see you at a show sometime. I will be at JAE, come to say "hi" if you get a chance. :)

    • 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/
