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?

    • 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.
