Ill race you Pete,

Who will have it home first?

Probably you.

Sadface.

Race, the 34s are too farkin heavy to push, you win, lol

You will notice I try not to guess when I will get anything done anymore BUT by the end of the week I will be driving down the Highway, looking for adventure :)

Hope you get yours back real soon , I miss my spirited drives, it is boring without it :/

Tell more about leak

I tried to add the Video they sent but it would not load on SAU , maybe this laptop as I have a lot of trouble with it ?

It was at the top of the radiator, were the orange hose is clamped on, they had it under 20psi pressure to try and find it on Saturday, but it did not show up. They did it again today and there it was, pissing out ??

I do not understand that and wonder if all of that pressure did not cause the leak at the radiator, you would think if it was going to show up it would have done so when they first applied the pressure to the system, but cars ?

So I guess it comes down to when the car is being driven again or on the Dyno when they are doing the tune ?

Well at least it isn't disappearing into the motor. That would be suck.

Also metal and heat are interesting in their own way. But surely there would be a green/white stain down the radiator or at least at the bottom.

I'm glad they found it though.

I will wait until it has been driven before I get excited about the leak being found, it sucks being a pessimist :/

I was hoping to get the Dyno info today, maybe tomorrow. I thought it was done last week but they said it had to go back on again, not sure if it is on the Dyno ATM or not ?

It sucks waiting :/

Post the video on youtube and link it. Come on I have gone through a tonne of popcorn waiting for this.

haha, it just shows a pressured leak on the Orange hose for about 4 seconds but I will try on my PC as my the laptop is shit :(

No luck with the PC, never posted a vid on youtube :/

Fired off a few emails asking when the tune will be finished and since everything else has been fixed, it is only the FINAL TUNE to be done, should be interesting to see if the 3.5" Dump & Cat can pick up 14KWs to nudge it over 400KW, BUT more importantly, if it feels any different to drive :/

3 months just fly by when you are having fun :)

    • 12+ months passed so they have no obligation to do a warranty claim. It leaked from the rear circuit. Front circuit was fine, but I tried many times to bench-bleed and in-car bleed (wasted 1L of Penrite racing brake fluid) to no avail. Threw my old BM50 or whatever the standard R32 GT-R BMC is, brakes went back to normal. So from my very limited anecdotal experience, I cannot recommend HFM, even though a lot of their products looks good. Just my experience (I have a genuine Nissan BM57 in a box waiting to be installed now).
    • How dare you sell your unreliable Skyline and buy a reliable, Toyota/Yamaha car with a strong gearbox, torsen LSD and Toyota reliability. At least you won't need to worry about oil pumps, big catch can, oil restrictors, blowing off power steering belts, sheering off 3rd gear, failing ABS relays/pumps, etc.
    • 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/
