Looks like feature article will be published in High Performance Import issue #134, that is in April 2011. However, I don't think it made it on the front cover.

Looking forward to seeing it in print

Cheers

I see your car has a sneaky little pic of the wheel in this months HPI in The Ultimate GTR story. Regarded as "The absolute perfect wheel, offset, tyre and brake combination."

Looks Great can't wait to see the full feature. :thumbsup:

Cheers

Its amazing how the 32, 33, 34 GTRs are still featured so prominently and regularly in HPI magazine.

The engine emblem shot on page 62 and certainly as pointed out, the wheel and brake picture are of my car in No130 HPI.

Its uber cool to see shots of any part of your car in a publication!!

Geez, I am keen today, my third consecutive post.

Remember a while back, I bought a set of Fabulous Expand Racing A forged rims in 19X10.5 +20 dimension from Yahoo japan through Import Monster. These may be the only photos ever documented of a set fitted on a R34 GTR. The look is quite unique, exclusive and the offset is spot on; they clear the AP calipers no problems at all. Certainly NOT the VIP look that one may expect from Fabulous wheels.

These rims actually weigh less than my TE37s.

I will let the photos do the talking:

That's certainly true :)

Look forward to seeing your car featured in HPI

    • 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/
