So after giving it a quick (yet within the speed limit) squirt up to mount henry bridge I was promptly stuck in traffic for 45 minutes and after a while I started noticing this really weird noise whenever I pushed the accelerator. You hear it under normal circumstances on big old fords and that kind of thing and I once heard it on my wife's car when her exhaust gasket went. I had all these thoughts going through my head of "maybe the fans weren't hooked up after I had the FMIC installed and I've partially cooked the head", "maybe the heat has finally killed the old coil packs".

I can't help but think giving it a hard drive and then immediately idling it for 45 minutes has done some major bad stuff :merli:. I couldn't even stop the engine because we'd crawl forward every 30 seconds or so.

Have a listen; what do you think?

-- Should also add; no accusation intended by the "fans" comment, just one of the many possibilities that race through your head when your car is in pain and you can't pull over :(

    • 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
