Eccentric bushes only is my understanding Serge, but I also hear that heaps of people cut and shorten upper arms to get camber (illegal).

No idea about the undertray, or if it was even there when I ran the car. MPC took care of the car as you know, maybe they have it because I know they needed to tidy up under the car quite a bit after we used it in 2008.

IMO, you're better off making an aluminium one that pushes snugly behind the lower lip, as the factory plastic one very quickly grinds the leading edge off on the road, and turns itself into a huge air scoop, and makes a horrendous flapping noise and bangs the whole car quite violently! First time it happened to us we stopped mid stage because we'd thought a wheel was loose in the wheel well!

The factory ones are far too expensive too, but I can assure you, I didn't steal it and take it home with me as carry on luggage :D

See what I mean? Rally Burnie, 2006;

My understanding is only bushes too, but i've seen plenty of GT-R's running noltec syle upper arms. Also look at the N1 part numebrs in Nissan fast, these is plenty of standard parts on a N1 that arn't widely known :D

Yeah I have. Ralf and the guys there are good blokes and know a bit BUT they insist on using that damn laser alignment machine and sometimes you can physically see that what the machine is saying isn't what the alignement is in reality.

So they can do most of the mechanical set-up side but you're still going to want to get it string line aligned somewhere afterwards.

    • 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
