i dont have to press a button when i want the power to come on and i only have to fill my tank up every 500km's

You have a turbo, how could you not believe in NOS?

It's the same principle

great work trent! the owner must be crazy havin that as a daily. hilarious if someone in their fully siked up astra or somethin revs him up at the lights then BOOM.... skyline already at next bloody city.

nice work Trent, i suppose u used the good old gizmo kmon to tune this beast? i still havent got around to sorting my K-mon i bought off you, i think u need to come to Perth and sort it for me :P

and the comments on dogboxes and street driving from people, i think they drive rather nice i think 99% of comments are from hear say and not from experience, my dogbox is fine to drive around, its straight cut though which is more of a pain that the actual driving technique. I find it easy once u learn to downshift correctly, the upshifts are smooth and slow if u want or super fast if u wanna slam gears :)

so rwd... at 5,000rpm at a meak 250ish hp...by 6,200rpm its at a monsterours 920is hp and +....

in the wet.... not that you want want to go a smidge over 5g's...but what... like straight into a tree... spin out completly... or into the 4th dimension? still trying to work that out...

just a serious question though.... the torque difference from 350s to 1030s.... in a second... the impact of that on a body? like a space shuttle launch? trying to imagine it cuz I would have never felt that form of acceleration before...

also.. with the torque... couldnt it twist the body a little?

    • 12+ months passed so they have no obligation to do a warranty claim. It leaked from the rear circuit. Front circuit was fine, but I tried many times to bench-bleed and in-car bleed (wasted 1L of Penrite racing brake fluid) to no avail. Threw my old BM50 or whatever the standard R32 GT-R BMC is, brakes went back to normal. So from my very limited anecdotal experience, I cannot recommend HFM, even though a lot of their products looks good. Just my experience (I have a genuine Nissan BM57 in a box waiting to be installed now).
    • 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/
