So soon :O

Whats coming off first?

As much as I can take off on my day off on Wednesday :P

Are you building or buying, Phil?

Building man. Good time to build at the moment with the builders doing a lot of good deals and the government doing the extra $10,000 building boost until January 31st.

Hey Phil, If you need a hand to pull anything apart let us know. Was alright Saturday, bit unorganised sorry guys. Definetly have to organise something for easter. Oh and Phil do Sau members get discounts :P

Hoping to order balancer, new boost gauge, wideband gauge in a week or 2, sump should be paid for this week pending ol' matey potatey takes the VVL head this week.

actually got some motivation to walk out to the gtr yesterday, removed most of hte loom from top section of motor, just gotta get under the plenum and remove the remaining connections and she's only got the "mechanical" things left.....

Might jack it up this week and look at the gearbox, apparently it's a push..... hoping it is................. LOL

Also may need a battery as this one has gone flat ( :( ) Phil, any idea what size it takes if yours and mine are hte same? (given you just went through this issue LOL) - Just need a size really as I'll probably get a optima.

Yep, I have a serious carbon whorism / obsession

Carbon pieces on the car:

400R front bar vents

Nismo B Pillars

Nismo Spoiler End Caps

Exhaust Shield (To be fitted)

Boost Controller mount / panel thingy

Spoiler Blade - Gotta modify

Nismo Gear knob

What's to come..............

Window control switches

Center Console lid

A pillars (drivers mainly but hopefully passenger too)

Bonnet struts

Eventually will get hte dash cluster done in PROPER carbon along with the sub meter as they are a "carbon look" from factory so proper will look legit.

and MAYBE get the air diversion panel done in it....

Is anyone an expert on 5 stud conversions...? Considering buying an s13 a in the middle of going through a 5 stud conversion but haven't done that sortve stuff so a little nervous ;) Phil you would know the car, a bloke by the name of Adam owns it out at mt low

    • 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/
