I also decided to get rid of the airflow meters,IMG_4845.thumb.JPG.f7bbe6cb9cbc2261a8255d24b1c5d712.JPGno because I think they're a restriction but just cause I could

Reason for the front bar coming off was fitting a new intercoolerIMG_4851.thumb.JPG.5e2b87f00f2766f404453245e396917c.JPGIMG_4852.thumb.JPG.1b12420b549c1f4fb39ddcf5e9ba2379.JPGwhich is a plazmaman pro series with the 76mm core because I didn't want to modify the front bar to fit it

So for what I thought was a bolt in intercooler took a lot longer to actually get on the car, the quality and mounting points were perfect but due to the extra width I had to undo the bumper support and move it out of the way and slide it all in togetherIMG_4855.thumb.JPG.5891ad1100e5196f9901b598eed75053.JPGand how close it is to the front support with it all fitted againIMG_4854.thumb.JPG.45b088bd2527286c408b7a10663adb49.JPG

Speaking of getting the front bar on that was a nightmare, I knew the r32 had less room in the front but I didnt know it was this much less.

Because I wanted to keep the factory mesh in there i had to trial fit the front bar and bend the mesh and try again, this happened about 6 times to finally get it right but was worth the effort

Didn't update this last week cause all I did was the wire the vcam and flex sensor into the ecu, plug the wide band controller into the ecu and ran the wire to the boot to switch the second fuel pump 

But this week I was a little more constructive IMG_4886.thumb.JPG.2c5678b60f910a407f156e7269beae42.JPGfirst took the discs off and sent them out to be machined

IMG_4897.thumb.JPG.611e9461c948db0ada023d1dced7782f.JPGback from machining and got some upgraded pads to fit as wellIMG_4929.thumb.JPG.50f9b0e38ee207f88488e73d79292d6a.JPGand all fitted 

Also grabbed some braided lines and fitted them IMG_4928.thumb.JPG.94b5f5003117e9afba5dd85e1227cf71.JPGdidnt get a photo before I put them on but you can see it there 

IMG_4930.thumb.JPG.fd47afb6e52b84d6f3c9722b3e5fd35f.JPGalso fitted a brand new r33 gtr master cylinder and replaced all the brake fluid,

turns out the plug for the fail light is different between 32 and 33 so will go to Nissan and see if they can supply a plug and pins set

Got a delivery the other day from Japan of corse IMG_4936.thumb.JPG.2d386248eb5641067cf762b2e968a35f.JPGIMG_4937.thumb.JPG.91ef7cc76a3d2dbc04dd8b2ca155f10b.JPGIMG_4938.thumb.JPG.aba4669831d8d3fce4d2dac7c9a9ba47.JPGand he first thing out of the box is an ard 150amp alternator, the original was only charging at 12.3v so with the extra load was only going to get worse 

Didn't get photos of it installed before I refitted everything including the radiator and coolant then I rechecked the running voltage and I won't need to worry about it again IMG_4942.thumb.JPG.7644f2ef39153931576f416bb280f556.JPG

    • 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.
