I don't think those two pictures show enough reason to denounce earls as good quality fittings. I stand by their quality and very large range of connectors, adaptors and colours.

ok thanks guys ill check it out oh and nice engine bay AD4M alsohow do you go about putting the fittings on do you have to make a thread in the covers or what ???

also which sort of fittings do i need eg. male/male or female/female or male/female

cheers

Hey mate, you need to have the 'weld-on' fittings welded on, they are only a few bucks a throw. From there you just screw on your fittings.

If you go hose end like in ad4ms picture then its fairly simple, you can just hose clamp the lines to your catch can. If you want to use braid then you'l need matching fittings welded to the catch can.

So your up for the two weld-ons, the two 90deg -10 fittings (hose end or braid) and the respective lines etc.

By far the easist (note, not the cheapest!) way to do it, is take your covers down to GoGear, if you buy the fittings there they will organise the welding which saves you driving around trying to find a decent ally welder (there arent many). Other option is buy through couplers who are much cheaper but you will then need to sort out the welding yourself. Cheaper again is to use earls fittings, and again you;l need to organise having the weld-ons.

Hope you havent painted your covers yet :)

    • 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.
