posting for updates!!! this is awesome!! im trying to get my hands on a 67 custom 6 sedan with 54,000 original on the clock at the moment

At the moment the parts hunt continues........... I'd love to have more to update today but unfortunately the daily drives have been using up a lot of spare time of late. I'll hope fully have some more interesting stuff to post later this week fingers crossed.

Good on you and good luck on getting the 67 sedan :blink: Pre 70's is where its at! lol

the main thing thats holdiing me back atm is lack of shed....my wife's grandpop has the cedric at his house...sits untouched for a few months...puts the battery on and fresh fuel.....2 pumps and it starts.....

I just remembered a really cool japanese wagon I came across a while back, its a Mazda Savannah RX-3. Rare as hen's teeth, but totally worth it. Might give you some inspiration...

Just a quick update this morning.

The good news is that lots more parts have been sourced in fact enough to be able to start mocking everything up very soon.... ie when I separate the respective drive line parts from each car.

The new parts are as follows R32 RB25 head complete, RB25T turbo manifold, Q45 Throttle body, stock rb25turbo (too small but good enough for mock up)

I've got an rb25det ecu can I just use the rb30 harness for a lot of the build and just modify that where required???? Or should I just get the 25 engine harness and be done with it.

    • 12+ months passed so they have no obligation to do a warranty claim. It leaked from the rear circuit. Front circuit was fine, but I tried many times to bench-bleed and in-car bleed (wasted 1L of Penrite racing brake fluid) to no avail. Threw my old BM50 or whatever the standard R32 GT-R BMC is, brakes went back to normal. So from my very limited anecdotal experience, I cannot recommend HFM, even though a lot of their products looks good. Just my experience (I have a genuine Nissan BM57 in a box waiting to be installed now).
    • How dare you sell your unreliable Skyline and buy a reliable, Toyota/Yamaha car with a strong gearbox, torsen LSD and Toyota reliability. At least you won't need to worry about oil pumps, big catch can, oil restrictors, blowing off power steering belts, sheering off 3rd gear, failing ABS relays/pumps, etc.
    • 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/
