Ahhh ok that's fair enough. I had a read through the thread and wasn't sure what to make of it. Will certainly be something I look at down the track.

In the mean time though I may just snap up the box that Widebody33 has for sale and be done with it. Down the track I can rebuild that box as it is indeed better than the current one :banana:

I really should change this thread name to... "Questions and shit that Kat want's to say about her car..."

Let me just say it's AMAZING how much different an exhaust that isn't stuffed makes! My car now sounds and feels frigging awesome!

A good 30kw difference.

i would throw the car on another dyno for comparisons sake as there might be some dyno figure fudging, because that's 20-30kw more than 99% of -7 setups make.

My car has always gone on the same dyno and I have all the sheets from the very first going up to this one. Just before the rebuild I had it on the ESP dyno and comparitively they matched.

Do the other 99% of -7 setups have a 2.8L stroker kit and the same setup as mine?

After the rebuild it has come back a totally different car to drive.

Hahahahaha gold!!! :D

I will be popping along to the next dyno day or dropping into ESP for a visit when I get the chance :down:

It's at 22psi (sorry missed that other question).

Seat of the pants dyno is pretty f**king impressed! Can safely say there's a lot of people that have been in it (even -30kws or so) have been pretty close to shitting their pants!

do i get an offer to be a passenger? lol i wanna see what 362rwkw feels like.

but i also agree, you need an all wheel figure, when you say "at all four" sounds more impressive.... well to me.... maybe because i dont have a gtr lol :D

LOL you are most welcome to come for a spin! This hasn't been a very good year for me so I haven't been out very much.

I have a little more work to do which is why I hadn't yet worried so much about an all wheel figure yet. The Autotech one is good because I have figures going from when I first fitted the power FC when the car was almost stock right up to now on the same dyno.

TBH there are a few things I need to do in terms of completion but I am so happy with how it feels now I don't give two shits what the final figures end up being anymore. I guess that's also because I'm in the ballpark of where I always wanted it.

Next year that leaves interior and brakes!!! What to do!!! :P

      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

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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/
