On the battery install, personally I would not put it so close to fuel/surge tanks. The reason is if you have an impact on that side you could have a dangerous combination of possbile fuel leak and spark (battery short). Installing the battery on the other side of boot would be a safer move.

Great, clean build...well done!

This car is going to be awesome. Love what you've done with the surge tank setup. Makes me want to build a cover for mine

Thanks man, It'll still be at least 2 months to go now... Moneys getting a bit tight and i keep getting surprise bills..

How's it all going?

Apparently there's a small queue ahead of me while I had a couple weeks downtime with money. So we're just waiting for that to get cleared up, have been told could be 5 weeks, So not sure yet. But hoping for quick results as there's only Fuel Pump, Lift Pump, Fuel Reg stopping us from ignition #@JH32 , then just needs tune, tyres, and we're in business

Great build mate, keep us updated.

Hope you dont mind me asking but what has the budget been so far, you can PM me if you like. Just interested as my gtr is in need of a rebuild aswell.

Anyway great work so far, cant wait to see the results.

Sorry didn't see this, So Far I've spent all in all about $60,000 not including the GTR itself. :)

    • 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
