What do people think of these?

I made up a few for a friend of mine, and it lets you put AN fittings for the breather and cleans up the engine bay a little. (i personally think its better than the current standard fitting)

Also i know this is not a Skyline engine, though i thought that i will put it up. Just shows how people fabricate their engines....

not bad for a commodore 8 :P

push in inserts are nice, saves welding and less permanent - what they worth each? since a weld on is about $7

About 50.00 a pair.

You need to bare in mind that the weld on ones are produced by the thousands and maybe in china too.

i understand the costing factor of low production items, add that to the $100 is AN fittings and shes up there. very nice work though and design looks good.

is it designed for a compliance fit?

The fit is tight. The pic you see is the first design. I made them now with a little lead in so that they are easier to fit or push in. These have only been put on a rb26 rocker cover so far, i am not sure if the rb20/25 is a little different in size?

But that makes really no difference as i can make them to any size..

I know that AN fittings are expensive but they do look good and do the trick...

Is there an easy way of removing the breather stock fittings?

I stuck a screw driver in mine and turned the breather side to side while lifting up. Popped out on seconds.

Karl if you can make them for a 25 im in.

I have made up a few for a 20 and a 25...

Oil gallery restrictor orifice (1.5mm)

Will soon have a new oil pump done... with different profile to others for more flow and also a different drive mechanism to reduce the weak point thats in the current drive mechanism...

    • 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.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
    • Yeah, I guess its pretty easy to get to if this doesn't work. Just wait till next oil change and pull it out. I am going to have to do the oil pan gasket soon and thought I'd just replace it while I was there.  Thanks
    • All that matters is you're safe and you were able to type that post. Hopefully heaps of parts you can recover for the next shell.
