Hey guys,

Tried trawling through the search results for engineers and what not for NSW without much luck (most seem to be regarding Victoria). I've normally gone through an engineer I've worked with, but wondering if anyone knows of someone who has intimate knowledge with Skylines. I'm finding a fair bit of grey areas and not much clear definition in some places.

Anyone within the Sydney metro area + 1hr drive would be acceptable and please, no "dodgy" engineers - I like to keep things straight :)

cheers for any help for the newbie poster.

I know it's a bit of an unusual question on the forums, even more difficult with the recent switch from ECS to VSCCS now so I'm aware some of the search results I've gone through are no longer valid (or for the moment, as I'm sure some ECS members are debating continuing to sign up). I've called Yavuz @ Unigroup and left a message, as I did find a post about someone saying they used the same engineer as Greg from Autosport, but then read that Autosport are no currently doing engineering for the moment.

Once again, it's about trying to find one that has some intimate knowledge on Skylines (or imports in general) rather than picking just any on the list. People also mentioned John Wilson, though that is a little far for myself if repeat visits are necessary. Sorry to be a pain everyone.

    • 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
