Hi boys and girls. long time no post.

I want a solution to my problem.

I'm about to install a greddy oil cooler with thermo.

How do I make sure the lines fill before the car gets up to temp? Filing the oil cooler is fine I get that. But even if I crank the car to build oil pressure it won't go into the lines because the thermostat is closed? Correct?

Do I have to fill the lines and cooler desperately?

The pretty surethe Greedy thermostat should always let alteast 10% of flow through the cooler, even from dead cold.

i have one sitting in front of me - i can confirm the flow is not fully cut off when the thermostat is closed.

I remember reading that somewhere. Which helps. I think I'm just stressing over nothing. if I let the car idle till warm then it should be OK... I think. Haha.

this is what i plan to do. Don't forget to top your oil up afterwards.

      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/
