My kit arrived today. Looking forward to getting some decent brakes under the Stagea.

Great! I was just waiting to hear back if it had been sent lol >.<

My kit has arrived. Time to start looking at what I want to do with the master cylinder arrangement, and the rear brakes.

Might look closely at a twin MC with balance bar and upgrade the whole system.

Hey so for the uninitiated (or the unintelligent) is this upgrade to the BMC required? I have an R32 GT-R if that matters. Cheers

I believe the R32 GTR already has a BM57 BMC, which is what is recommended for the kit. I will confirm and let you know if that is not the case.

Also, is this upgrade likely to impact RWC?

Unsure how strict Vic is with RWc's. Sorry I don't have any info, might be best investigating with someone in your state :)

Not the case, V spec may be different

Hmm, apologies, I was under the impression all GTR R32/33/34 had the BM57 BMC.

Can you confirm what it does have Joe? :D

is this group buy still going on?????

No it finished some time ago.

There will be an upcoming group buy for the rear kit however, I will chat with the guys and see if the front kit can be incorporated in to the same group buy :)

Keen for a GB on the rear brake adaptors. Bought their front kit and it works wonders!!

Should be happening soon, I believe they are just finalising a few things with the kit, it will be on display at WTAC though, so if not before it should be very close. I have made a list of people who have expressed an interest and will message everyone once the group buy is up :)

Could you let me know if your doing another group buy as I will need the front adapter brackets for the brembos on the front of my r32 Gtr and possibly the rears to pls

Perhaps send a PM to timmy_89 if you haven't already as he is the organiser of the group buys and there has been a more recent one at:

    • 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/
