You can get the gear from revolution racegear. Not sure if their in adelaide. Got the adaptor plate (goes on the engine block), the remote oil filter plate (move that pesky filter to a more suitable location) and the cooler from them. Can't remember how much the cooler was but the plates weren't that expensive.

I ended up using another cooler as I need a larger one but you can still get bigger ones there.

Other than that you need to get the lines elsewhere. I got mine from earl's. Braided lines at $90/meter I think..... :confused:

Silver-arrowz,

Was that revolution racegear auburn? any rough ideas on the price of the remote oil filter plates? you then had to get the connections and braided lines right?

would you think the setup exceeded $300 for you doing it this way?

Yep, in auburn. I think the plates alone were about 70 bucks. Can't remember if that was for both or each. Then the lines were extra. Don't think lines would be very much if it were just for a remote oil filter as you don't require the filter to be relocated far from the original location.

    • How dare you sell your unreliable Skyline and buy a reliable, Toyota/Yamaha car with a strong gearbox, torsen LSD and Toyota reliability. At least you won't need to worry about oil pumps, big catch can, oil restrictors, blowing off power steering belts, sheering off 3rd gear, failing ABS relays/pumps, etc.
    • 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.
