A little birdy tells me Haltech are no longer the only ones in Sydney to have popped a VR38 :P

D'oh! they are dropping like flies! VR38.... the RB26 for the new generation...

You missed the point there champ.

A "forged motor" (ie. something with forged rods/pistons) doesn't inherrently make more power.

You don't get 1000hp from pistons and rods. You can make decent power by upgrading the support systems and pushing them to the limits on a motor that can handle it.

Somehow I think you're going to have to upgrade the turbos before you really find the limit of a stock VR38. Thus until Haltech do that, building a stronger motor is near-on pointless.

You know what i mean mate. If they are developing the car for modifications for the future, then a future logical step is turbo upgrades, and providing the extra security of a built engine to handle these power outputs isnt pointless.

'Forged' and 'built' eh, learn something new every day :) And heres me thinking that these motors already had forged cranks and rods. Plus were individually hand built in the factory.

OK, I'll lay off now :sick:

      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

      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/
