Hello everyone

I have got a yellow last Sunday and this week I have been searching for all relevant info about passing the pits. Some problems came across.. any1 could tell me what to do about this?

Currently the fuel regulator is leaking. I did made sure the hoses are tighten, and noticed that the petrol is leaking from the spot (in red circle) Does that mean the regulator is broken? It is a sard one btw.

I have no idea what to do at the moment. Seems like lot of parts have to change back to Original.

Just want to gain more opinions before I send my car to work shop and do it up.

and a silly question. Do I have 10 days to prepare for pit since my car defected? does it include Saturday and Sunday?

Cheers

Romain :P

answer ur question abt the sard reg.. i would say just re-tape with teflon tape and tighten it up..... and i think in general coilovers are illegal??

Adjustable coilovers are illegal if they are threaded.

10 consecutive days yes lol

Coilovers technically are illegal, but as long as they aren't too soft most inspectors are fine with them...but it all depends, they aren't consistent. Your engine bay looks pretty clean & tidy so they should be happy with it, the bov you will have to take off, the cat should also be ok, at least I don't think any rules have been changed with that except for the emissions part they might ask you to get done. The IM240 test is still on hold at least....but if you have access to a stock cat you may as well put it on anyway

hey man if its not too hard do u mind posting up some pics of how your fpr is all hooked up? ive got what looks like an identical sard one but with only 1 airline fitting and 2 fuel fittings (purchased 2nd hand). and i always thought an adjustable fpr would replace the standard one it looks like yours is running in series with it.

cheers bud

    • 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/  
    • 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.
