My heater core started leaking about a year ago so i disconnected it and all is good. Now my wife is driving the car and would like a working heater for her and the kids. I just havent got the time or effort to have a go at this job myself so i am looking for someone to do it for me.

Does anyone want to do fo it for me (cash paid of course) or can you recommend someone who may be up for the job?

Any help appreciated.

Cheers

Morgan

Yes its a crap job. Three members spent best part of a day doing it. I just paid a sparky $300 to out and in the dash (it pretty much has to come out completely).

Go onnnn do it yourself, not too hard, did my R31 in 4-5hrs on Saturday, taken it easy with a few drink stops in between.

Nissans are easy to pull apart and put back together, they're just logically built.

Just need to pay attention to the bolt/screw positions and all will be fine.

I also got quoted $300 for the job at some radiator place in Murrumbeena near the train station.

$300 is a decent price for the job to be done.

Ska did this job a while back. Have a look in DIY or PM Ska.

Ska's DYI is what convinced me to get someone else to do it. I am too impatient to do that. I can just imagine finishing up with about 20 screws left over after i had put the dash back in.

Surely someone has had this job done by a workshop in Perth?

      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/
