Hi Skyliner's ... 

I have a question, maybe you can help me out here... ? 

I used to be A authorised Nissan workshop and had Fast at the time, but I cant seem to get fast working with Win. 10. Also we are located in Denmark so we have the european disc for Fast. Anyway... 

I have this R32 / chassis nr: BNR32-013497 from 12/1990 , an "early" model. 

It is imported from Malaysia, and came with a nissan GTR steering wheel - I noticed when driving for some time 20 minutes or so, that the steering jumped - no Hicas light came on - but the rear wheel turned slightly when it was supposed to be straight. 

checked the Hicas with a Nissan Consult II tester - No faults but read 153 degres to the left on steering angel sensor when the steering wheel was straight,

I took the steering wheel off, and yes it was the new type with the holes at 12 & 6. 

when I lign the steering angel sensor up with the middle point of the neutral signal it of course lines up at 1 & 6 o'clock. 

So I have the "early" type of steering angel sensor and the new type steering wheel...

I have looked at some parts catalog pages, and seemed to have found that the early steering angel sensor should 

be part number: 28475-01U00 or alternative number: B8475-01U00. (there are no number readable on the sensor equipped)

The Question is I think I have found the later version of steering angel sensor equipped from 09/1991 -  models 

wich should have the number 28475-01U11 or alternative number:  B8475-01U11. 

Do you know if this number are for an sensor with alignment 12/6 o'clock and does it fit on the car with the early version´s ?

Cause Nissan europe cant confirm this for me.

If I could buy the new type sensor that fits the steering wheel, then I can get the Hicas working with the steering wheel at the right position, right now I drive around with the steering wheel turned 153 degrees and the Hicas works superb.   

Hope you have the answer for this - best regards Lars.

      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/
