In reference to the above....

Random Fact #333 - Drinking too much coolant causes Glycol poisoning which is fatal. The only known cure for this is to get absolutely hammered on good schnapps. The components of schnapps turns the glycol poision in your kidneys into a harmless substance that you are likely to splash your shoes with :D ##

##Disclaimer - I do not recommend or endorse trying this out, but it is true.....apparently :D

I don't think you can say you are a true car enthusiast until you've managed at least one mouthful of coolant..

Though I highly recommend avoiding this situation

And I really don't recommend accidentally swallowing it too.. :D

Fact 66666: One mouthful of coolant won't kill you, but you definately won't feel well for a while.. :D

      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/
