Alrighty gents, just tried to launch the wagon properly off the line. I didnt expect anything more than the normal 3-4psi and a slow take off. Nope. Spooled to 11psi and took off like a cut snake, wheels spin and all.

Its never done this before.... is something about to let go????

Thats wat i first thought but ive stalled it for that long before and nothing.. figured the high flow and throttle limit meant it wasnt gonna happen.

Have you done the brake wire mod?

A mate said the auto may be slipping due to low oil hence the sudden panic.. will check the oil level after work.

And the only thing thats changed on the car is a kakimoto cat back.

When did you change the exhaust? this could cause it as it can easily add a few psi of boost with an exhaust swap, it may be just enough to get it into boost range quicker

Didnt expect a cat back to make such a massive difference considering the stock dump and front pipe is still in place. Not that im complaining at all :D

I know this guy who makes a really got dump and front pipe to finish the setup off

    • 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
