Hi guys, im installing a walbro 460 e85 fuel pump into my r33 gtr cradle and will require at least half a meter of hose to sit intide the tank. Now im reading up that there is a special kind of submersable fuel hose but im having trouble finding out where i can get some of this on extreemly short notice? Anybody have any experience obtaining this? Im also in sydney if you can point me in the right direction! Thanks guys

find an efi shop. there is one in newcastle who has it in newcastle half meter packs. don't bother asking any auto part shop as they won't have any idea it exists. you will find the inside of all fuel hose is rated for contact with fuel but outside layer isn't and the normal stuff won't last long.

I still can't find e85 compatible hose if that's what you are looking for.

The e85 walbro pumps come with a short length, I tried sourcing them from Aznew who supply the pumps here, they couldn't help me. Perhaps try Walbro themselves...

I just use the Proflow intank hose from VPW.

I've used non submersible hose in the past and it was ok for 98RON, not sure how it will behave in E85.

However if you look on eBay, at times you'll find Gates Submersible E85 hose for about $25 delivered for a 30cm cut

i just got a 1 meter length of aeorflow submergable (400 series) hose from rocket industries. They have aparently had a peice of it sitting in methanol for months with no sign of degradation and that shit is harsh! Quite cheap as well at $14pm

wow that's cheap, I might have to head down myself and replace all my fuel hoses

      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/
