had a $200 ebay ASI 52mm in a 32 with rb25 no shroud and could not get it over 86c...

Was great until the dodgy mounts I made came loose and the core ruptured when it hit the fan :( 35c degree heat, 80ks from home. not a fun day :(

Came down to two different options:

1. Triple pass core from racepace $550 - Asian made (not sure of country) 45mm. Only downside really was the minimum 3 week wait, and the fact that the fit/finish is unknown.

2. Koyo 53mm twin core for approxmiately the same price - Known to fit as per OEM, delivered in 1 day, only issue is its not a triple pass.

I understand from a cooling standpoint, the tripple pass is the way to go - No doubts there. But the fact that the car will be used 99.99% of its time on the road, I don't want my car consistantly being off the road (just did an RB30DET conversion), and I want it to fit like OEM made the decision a little easier. I have no doubts that even if I do take the car out the track, that this radiator will be adequate. Maybe not on a 40 degree day - but who wants to do a track day in that sort of heat teehee.gif

I just got a 'standard' Koyo Radiator, down here in Sunny Geelong in 4 hours on a Friday (from Melbourne) 25mm thick, standard size and looks good. $240 plus $10 for quick freight!

Can't complain... R33 GTS-T 1995.

      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?

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      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/
