Phil and Tyson are building some of SA's best GTRs at the moment, add Japanese Motorsport on facebook and have a look, they are meticulous with their work and are top blokes.

Jaustech have a good rep.

I can also point you to someone who will hate me for sending another dirty datto his way as he'd much rather work on Supras. But he also knows everything there is to know about RBs, Skylines in general, and all the other dirty dattos.

Its a V35 350GT '03.
I normally do my own services but its at the point where it needs more than a service and its pushing my abilities.

So is JMS non existent anymore or is Jaustech just better?

I just don't know about JMS, is all. I bought my R32 through them....24 years ago. Then their name got dragged through the mud with all the importing stuff other than cars shenanigans, change of ownership, change of ownership, etc etc. Gone from my sphere of knowledge.

Z33's are basic cars, they don't need to go to tuning shops.

The go to guy in SA for Z / VQ things is Daniel Hollands at Crown and Pinion. Pretty much all he does is Z / V35 stuff and a few import things.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By niZmO_Man · Posted

      12+ months passed so they have no obligation to do a warranty claim. It leaked from the rear circuit. Front circuit was fine, but I tried many times to bench-bleed and in-car bleed (wasted 1L of Penrite racing brake fluid) to no avail. Threw my old BM50 or whatever the standard R32 GT-R BMC is, brakes went back to normal. So from my very limited anecdotal experience, I cannot recommend HFM, even though a lot of their products looks good. Just my experience (I have a genuine Nissan BM57 in a box waiting to be installed now).

      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?

      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/
