Ok, I have a 32 gts-t with a factory nissan sunroof (aka piece of shit)...

It is currently stuck in the "tilted up" position, if I press the switch up the motor makes noise but the down button does not work (i tried to hard wire the switch but to no avail)

so im assuming that the motor has seized, which i dont mind... the sunroof working doesnt bother me

BUT

i need to bring it back down from the tilted position to the closed position for obvious reasons... does anyone know if this can be done manually without ripping the whole roof lining out and dismantling the whole thing?!?

surely there is a manual winding mechanism somewhere?

lol i have the same issue except lucky for me its stuck closed.....

as im too lazy to pull mine apart n look at it i would suggest pull down ur hood lining (which should come down if u unscrew the sun visors, the front grab handles (if u got em) , door seals and interior light trims).....

pull all that crap off and pull the lining down far enuf to see if u can get to the mechanism and go from there....

i havnt pulled a skyline one apart but usualy u can manually wind them or unhook the winding mechanism and just push the sunroof closed.....

if u get stuck, take a pic and show me wot we r lookin at

sorry i dont have a definately fix for ya

      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?

      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/
