mate Enzed etc is your friend. i used teflon braided -4 lines with plenty of heat unsulation and 200 series fittings, but only because mine is an RB30 block and the stock lines don't work well. stick with the hard lines if you can, less stuffing around, $ and no problems with heat in the long run. i would've if i could've.

Most people stick with factory lines as they are by FAR the best for the purpose.

Its going to be $$$ and a pain to get fittings down there when there is factory stuff that bolts on and can resist the heat

braided lines rock, ive got a braided line to my turbo, and my water lines have been chopped, expanded and had hoses clamped to them. as long as theyre properly insulated theyre great.

mine have made pulling the turbo out a 45min job and installing a 1hr job. the worst thing EVER is trying to get the standard water and oil lines to line up when going back on.

take it to pirtek and ask them for the lengths you need, and the fittings (i reccomend just going from the banjos if possible). then take the fittings and hose home and dummy fit to get the angles you need on the banjos, then mark them or tape them up. go back to pirtek and get them swaged on and your done. saves swivel joints and removes one more thing to go wrong.

also, be aware that while pirtek guys are really switched on, they may or may not have heard of earl's fittings etc, which is why its easier to go from the banjo.

cost a bit but you will never have a problem again.

      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/
