I know a few shops looking at it int eh brissy area. that said the market will have to pick up again before anyone even thinks about doing one. the figure you have is for emmissions only. there's more again to get it ready.

Just a thought, can I import a Fuga 350GT without going through the emission tests and whatever else, since the engine is the same and the chassis basically the same as the V35?

Surely the government won't require emissions tests on the same exact engine just because its in a different body? Or do they, haha.

If not, how about this, I import a Fuga 350GT, then buy the VK V8 plus looms, computers etc. and import those, then just put it in. I'm sure there is something wrong with my master plan, can anyone set the record straight on this?

bro just relex wait for someone to crashone up lol VK45 DE or VK56VD from the new 08 cima is around 12K without looms computer or box just bare engine.. i already did some work on it as im thinking either TT the 6 or a 8 from the bigger cima .. umm.. the rumble of a big V8

P.S the older style VH45DE off the Q45 is cheap as chips .. power wise not sure how they go.. its older..

I've been thinking about bringing a Fuga into the UK for a while for the same reason, that V8 rumble. Main problem is exchange rate. Bought my v35 at 210 yen to sterling. It's 142 today :P

    • 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/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
    • Yeah, I guess its pretty easy to get to if this doesn't work. Just wait till next oil change and pull it out. I am going to have to do the oil pan gasket soon and thought I'd just replace it while I was there.  Thanks
    • All that matters is you're safe and you were able to type that post. Hopefully heaps of parts you can recover for the next shell.
