I spoke to Trent about it on Saturday night for a while. Was good to pick his brains, and He has been reading up on SAU about some of the traits of the M35.

Also forgot to mention - Throttle will be converted to Cable, easier for the ECU to run.

Funny, a while ago their dyno guy said he has tuned 'heaps of M35's'. I was skeptical because their isn't anything to tune unless you have some sort of piggback or A/M ECU - & there really isn't that many cars like that up there afaik. Then he convinced me he didn't know what he was talking about when, in response to my answer to "what is my target boost setting?" (18psi), he says "that's 10psi above factory - you'll never get there with the standard turbo".

I suspect he had his C34 goggles on.

hahaha... maybe so. I've been told they comply 3.5 factory turbos by one place, but with their rep it didn't surprise me. Another very well respected place when I was looking for a tuner said "yeah, we'll give it E85, and give it 15psi, should make mad power". Told Him he'd be sweeping my internals off his dyno room floor, turned on my heels and walked out because they had no interest in listening to what I actually wanted.

Thats why I recommend the guy in my Sig!

Not sure what i'm doing yet, the M35 is definitely handy, I just got back from Costco with a full load of groceries... :)

I got the evo 7 extremely cheap, couldn't pass it up. Complete with bearing knock...

The A4 is for the missus, she will be selling the 323, soon too I hope as i'm broke now. lol.

    • 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
