lol, you should have just taken the V35! My mate(in the blue R34 GTR that came to the meet once) and I dragged one and it was pretty quick!

The VQ35DE is a powerful engine.

But RB all the way for me :wub:.

Good news!

I just called to check up on my car and it is ready to be picked up at 5pm today.

As I am at work I shall pick it up tomorrow morning.

:bunny:

Now for the service!

Wow, thanks for the offer for rides everyone :) such a friendly bunch!

I'll see if I'm able to even make it there in time haha.

Charlie, would you be heading there from home area or going there straight from somewhere else?

Without my car, I don't get home until anytime between 6:30-7:00 depending.

Don't want anyone going heaps out of their way. I can always come next time anyway!

Curious where the cruise is to though :P

Should make this one, and should have the new pump in. A good try out for it I guess! And should be good to see you'se again! Apple Peal Meets FTW

Is your crew coming down?

Sean'O / Ash / guy with the Chaser?

:P

Well, car still at the mechanic, after putting in the radiator and inspecting under the car, I need to change 2 CV boot covers and replace the Power Steering Fluid lines / hoses.

On the upside, my HKS filters have arrived!

    • 12+ months passed so they have no obligation to do a warranty claim. It leaked from the rear circuit. Front circuit was fine, but I tried many times to bench-bleed and in-car bleed (wasted 1L of Penrite racing brake fluid) to no avail. Threw my old BM50 or whatever the standard R32 GT-R BMC is, brakes went back to normal. So from my very limited anecdotal experience, I cannot recommend HFM, even though a lot of their products looks good. Just my experience (I have a genuine Nissan BM57 in a box waiting to be installed now).
    • 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/
