This has probably been asked a million times. Is 300rwkw unreliable for a stock internal rb25. I understand that the tune and maintanance obviously plays a big part. Has anyone else had much success with this power level? And also, what do you suggest a good power level for street?

You've already asked this question in your other thread. There is no definitive answer. People run 300kw on unopened motors for years. Yours could go bang after 2 days. As I said before if you are going to sell it just repair and reassemble, strip off the expensive parts and sell the lot.

If you are going to keep it do it properly - measure the bores and see if it needs a rebore or just new rings and bearings and get some decent rod bolts and balance etc. Swap the 3540 for something more suitable.

What is a good power level for the street is entirely subjective - 260kw will be pretty quick but for some 400 is not enough.

Yes it is fine especially on a street car that gets nowhere near the punishment of a track car and if on e85 it is almost bulletproof at 300, you can start looking at 350 and still be safe on e85.

      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/
