I had to do it for Regency but it was such a flamin mongrel I couldnt be bothered again when I sold the car so just kept the HICAS unit and sold it separately and left the lock bar on haha

Fairly straight forward:

- undo the square nuts on either end of the lock bar

- undo the two bolts for the lock bar

- remove lock bar

- do the reverse but with the HICAS unit and the wirings should be zip tied around there

mitch it isnt thattttt bad its just the bolts are a fairly tight... i did mine on the 260 a few times... get some of those multi grip plyer thingos n ull get em out...

i found it MUCH MUCH easyer to crack the 2 square bolts then undo the lockback/unit that way its dangeling down so your not pushing against the wheel and giving it toe if i get me...??

ive done easyer shit in my life but ull b able to do it

Get your HICAS lockbar engineered for around $120 :\... Why dont you just do that?

All an engineer is to do is come down, make sure its of quality it is safe, and he marks it off. Nothing else needs to be done. So if you have a high quality lock bar just leave it?

    • 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
