Hi all, :blink:

I have been browsing this site for quite a while now but thought i would finally join up to take advantage of the knowledge available - you guys have had stageas a lot longer than we have and seem to have worked through the probelms already.

After almost buying a Garage Saurus tuned Stagea a couple of years ago (i went for a beemer instead in the end :rolleyes: ) i finally got round to buying one, a 1997 RSFour back in January to be my daily driver.

I will start a little project thread later (when i am not supposed tpo be working :D )

Thanks for the welcomes guys. As you can see from over there < i am an essex boy from blighty :D

I have been part of owners clubs for quite a while now and am more than aware of annoying newbs not using the search button. You might still find some newb type threads posted by me but there are language differences so be patient :blink:

The buyers guide was very handy

:rolleyes:

Tell me about it, at the time i couldnt really decide what i wanted - i had an Audi A3 as a company car so in the end settled for the bm as a track toy/plaything. Should have just got me another S14a - hindsights great :rolleyes:

The good thing is i got there in the end

      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

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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/
