Jez tried to start the tune on Friday and couldn't get the cam to move, lots of diagnostic work later we found the cam gear was jammed, a lot of problem solving we managed to work out what was causing it and got it working today (Tuesday). 

The tune has started and it's looking promising

The e85 tune was done today and the result is exactly as I had hoped, I won't give the final number till the car and dyno sheet are in my hand but I will say at 4500rpm it's already making 250kw ?

Picked the car up today and all I can say is HOLY f**k. It's not even the number it makes it's how quickly it makes it. It has better response then my old -7 set up and just walks away. The only time the -7 set up matches it is when your foot is on the clutch stopped at idleIMG_2794.thumb.jpeg.588b67a26fde7d882ddf55e089c1f03d.jpeg

now for the future of this car, I'm done with chasing power!!! I'm over the moon with how it drives. So now I'll be just doing some general maintenance and improving things that may break. I will still be updating this thread as I go

when I had the car wheel aligned last time I was told those castor rods I had put in the car were rubbish and when I ordered the alternator I also ordered some Cusco carstor rods fitted them and had the car aligned again.

now I could have sworn I took a photo of them before and after installing them but I can't find the photos

dropped it into the box checked the fluid level and when I get around to it I’ll put the car back down give it a wash and take it for a drive

    • 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
