having some problems with lights in my mr30.

it has an alarm and when i got the car all worked fine but couldnt turn the alarm off (busted remote). i dunno what clown wired it up but doesnt really matter cos goes off for 5-10sec then just stops. can start the car etc all fine. mass mess of wires in the right kick panel as well.

ive had the head off the car and after put all back 2gether the head lights were stuck on high beam. so thought it was something with the alarm (i replaced a blow fues that i found) so pulled out 1 fuse think was main power (6 fuses all up) and now its stuck on low beam. even tho the hi beam dash light is still on.

also when i put the hazard lights on only the right side work, but indicators work fine (both sides). checked all the earths etc. but is there any sorta hidden earths that i have forgot? main earth from battery to chassis to block and 1 on the rocker cover.

replaced the relays in the fuse box. theres 1 on the left strut tower but no idea what thats 4.

any help would b gd cos gonna need the car on the rd soon.

cheers...

my guess is the alarm. id rip it out and go over all the wires. there really arent that many, might take half a day.

i know that alarms with bad wiring can turn bad after a while. had a problem like that in my sisters magna, eveytime

shed go over a speed bump the hazards would flash. ripped out the alarm and fixed the problem.

      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/
