hi guys,

i just noticed the other day whilst filling up my 04 v35 coupe, that the metal flap where you put the nose of the petrol gun in is missing!

just wanted to know if this is standard? im pretty sure all cars come with that metal flap, just wanted to know whether mine has broken or something?

Please advise so i know whether its broken or its like that.

thanks!

I'm no too sure if its stuck inside ill try again when I take it out but last time I checked I couldn't feel anything...and Greg are u sure I've checked a few other cars at home and they all have it? Jut need a few more people to definately clarify this

My V35 doesn't have it.. and I just double checked the J31, it doesn't have it.

I don't think my old 1993 J30 Maxima had it either.. the R31 skyline I had before that did though..

It doesn't really serve much of a purpose.. other than to prevent you accidently dropping something down there.. but really, how long do you have the fuel cap off without a filler nozzle blocking the hole?

    • 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
