Yeah it’s the gktech one, the sleeves fit really well and fits onto the rack well. Haven’t put the suspension in yet 

awesome I tracked it at one point and it hadn’t moved and was going to head down and start asking what the hell

Hydroblasting is amazing!  I highly rate its results.  Makes stuff look new again.  Apart from my engine mounts I've never ended up using anything I had blasted but hey, it looks good in a box somewhere!

I can't remember who did it.  It was a few years ago now.  The guy was located in the inner Eastern Suburbs of Melbourne but he would travel around and pickup the parts.  

I was tempted to clear coat the stuff I had done to try and keep it looking that good for longer.

I used hi octane coatings and then they were coated using clear ceramic coating to stop them from looking shit again 

Ok, do they do Hydro blasting as well? 
clear ceramic coating would be nice and should last

Custom pistons have been ordered and should be 6-8 weeks away, hopefully have an engine before Xmas 

8 weeks puts us at December 18, sure you going to get a motor together by Christmas. 
think we should both aim to have the cars on the road by Christmas…2022! 😂😂😂

Shit I didn’t realize we were that close to Christmas!! ok maybe by February. I have a goal of when i would like it to be running by, I just have to wait and see if I can actually make it happen 

Pulled the rear housing off the turbo because I swapped it with a mate who’s putting a 6466 into his gtr

    • 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
