Hi All

New to this forum...

Picked up an 09 R35 two weeks ago and absolutely loving it. It's Gun Metallic and in great condition. A few minor mods planned starting with a trip to Willall next week for some work....looking forward to the results!

When it returns, a serious detail, a touch up to one very slightly damaged wheel (paint only) and possibly some wrap work.

Looking forward to reading and learning more from other owners.

Cheers

Docc

yeh you had to cut out the centre piece on the oem diffuser to install those

i have a non-damaged oem rear lower valance if you want to swap back to oem....mine has been painted oem solid black though, its not the oem grey colour. i prefer to have the storage space so you can have it very cheap

front lip looks like hks kansai

You may find it a probolem as you have to cut the rear stone tray to fit it.

Why do you want to remove the kit Docc?

Looks good.

Pls post a review when you get it back.

I've got a GMG 09 too and thinking of going the same way.

Will you have E85 capability too?

Kit is growing on me maxzugkraft...but will look at wrapping lower sections to match oem grey... not sure what to do with top fascia of rear spoiler yet- wrap it or leave cf?

Will do a review when I get it back for sure. At this stage no E85 though...

You will love it, Docc. I've got Martin's Cobb tune as well. It changes the car totally.

I've only got a HKS midpipe, K&N filters & Willall Tranny fluid.

Yeah, I'm thinking of E85 too, Domino!

But I haven't got injectors and pump yet.

We should meet up for a cruise, if you like. I'm in Melbourne too.

      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/
