My son recently put a R32 GTR tank into a GTS and it is not as simple as it looks.

The basic tank is a simple fit and one of the GTR tank support straps fits straight on. The other is in a different location on a GTR and there was some degree of work involved in relocating the mounting brackets to the correct location to match to tank.

what kind of work was involved to relocate the mounting brackets to the correct location to match to tank?

The main challenge is that the GTR has a nut built into the sub-frame that the hanger attaches to. There is no capacity to get to behind the spot to place a nut to attach the hanger to.

We solved this by having a mechanic friend (BezerkR32) install a cavity nut in the subframe in just the right spot. If you do not have access to someone with one of these special tools to insert the nut you have no way of installing the hanger.

      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/
