Well i made a new set of drivers side seat rails again today and i am still not happy with them.

The first design was custom adj sides mounted to the factory bolt holes, due to the seat having a large lip on the lower front edge i could not get it to side far enough back for me (too tall).

The next one was straight to the floor pan of the car this gave me good height and allowed the seat to slide back heaps but cause the slide sits next to the seat i could not get the seat dead centre with the steering column (10 mm to the right GRRRRR).

So it is back to the drawing board, i am thinking about some square rhs with three nutsert threads in it and three sets of holes in the seat mts to allow some movement back and forth (No adj slides). My only problem is the nutsert threads are only M6, i am a bit worried about there strength.

If anyone has some good pics of their mounts or some ideas that would be very helpful.

Cheers.

Andrew,

I drilled into the lower control arms up front on the cross memebr I think? so as you move the hole to put some bolt it...it pushes the bottom half out.

I had just over -4 camber up front

was wicked!

hurry up Ryan!!

I did some thing similar. I only moved the arm up looking for better roll C. I have seen some redrilled out where the cross is for camber as well.

As for camber in mine, I used a big mofo rose joint rod end and nut.

Well it has been a while again, but the progress is picking up slowly i have primed and painted the inside in GMH acrylic black, it is the closest thing i could find to matt black. It looks ok and should not rust or reflect any light at me.

I just have to wire it up over the next three days and try and finish inside the car.

Absolutely perfect mate. I will be up for the nationals if I have to bring a push bike. I just need to impose on someone near morgan park to store the car for a week :) send me details as soon as the other weekend is open, I'll be in and I bet Neil will be too.

      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?

      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/
