It's funny how ppl start to worry when the oil temps rise above 90 degrees C on a hot day, when it is considered normal.

Hot outside temps + A/C running (drains a little bit of power, so you put your foot down more) + if you drive hard / on boost = Temps will rise a little higher.

Just make sure you keep your oil and radiator levels topped up and you'll be fine.

mine has been most noticeable hot at a little less than 100 degrees, during travel at 100kmh and over 30 minutes.

about the Oil Temp Meter. I know it starts at 70 and finishes at 150. so does what make it 70 90 110 130 150 at each bar. Are these the numbers?

also when it got at this stage the HICAS warning light came on. whats that mean?

please bare with me: whats the oil temp for?

GTRs come standard with an oil cooler...

They dont and even NURs dont come with oil cooler. Only N1s come with them.

Mine is always sitting at the bottom of the gauge (75?) when driving around and hottest is around 90+ I think during the SAU drag day which was in the midst of summer! Only did 4 runs though...

    • 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/  
    • 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
