That's pretty decent in terms of pricing, tempting LOL..

For the money you’d be crazy not to, putting old manky looking bolts in a fresh bay makes it look shit

seeing as I can’t do a great deal with the front at the moment I decided to do some work at the back of the car

in go some rear camber arms to stand the wheels up a lot more

once installed I dialed the camber down to half a degree, the toe is still all over the shop because I didn’t have the string lines to be able to measure it

Lol there no way I’d put up with the lag a turbo big enough to flow that would have 

Never say never. You said that about never putting a single turbo on your car too.

 

Quoted for future reference. 🤪

Lol and that improved response not killed it 

Well seeing as I couldn’t go to work because of getting beer flu I decided to work on the gtr once I had enough energy.

Pulled the rest of the interior out and removed the battery wiring, the battery tray ready to re wire the entire boot. Then I fitted the surge tank in the corner of the boot

then started plumbing the tank into the fuel lines I already had

I had to wait for 60° fitting to do the last line as it wouldn’t run where I wanted it to without it

I’ll be wiring in some solid state relays and etc, just need the engine to turn up and the new wiring harness before I wire it all up

Fitted all the brake lines back into the bay with all new clips to hold them onto the firewall

also fitted some nismo braided brake lines as they follow the factory routing and make a lot less nervous that they may end up touching and rubbing through

also some new break clips as it seem the old line stretched the original ones

Then I bled all the brakes using good quality brake fluid, put all the wheels back on and now I pretty much can’t do anything until the engine and wiring harness arrive 

Looking nice!  Hard to beat a nice clean engine bay!  I see you’ve given the ABS module a tidy up?  They’re a tricky shape and setup to be able to do much with. So tempted to delete or relocate mine.  Even just route the pipes somewhere else. Lower on the firewall maybe?   Or just stop being a wanker and finish the car! 😂

I had it vapor blasted then put it back, I wanted new lines but a few a discontinued

Wiper motor looks nice as well, how did you clean it? Or did you buy new? 

i also had it vapor blasted and then painted the black bit to make it look as new as possible.

How have you found the steering feel with the pump in the boot?

It’s good, if it wasn’t for the fact you can hear it wind up before you start the car you’d never know

thanks mate

Something little but has been a pain in the ass for ages

the spring for the fuel flap went missing when I gave it to someone for paint matching years ago and I was able to buy one new 

F64E3AEF-103F-462B-8678-8635D92DE0FE.thumb.jpeg.9a77f0370ad6c7649cc0946e767848b7.jpeg

quickly clipped it onto the flap and now when I open the door it pops open again. As I said it’s a really small thing but sometimes they make big differences

    • 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
    • Yeah, I guess its pretty easy to get to if this doesn't work. Just wait till next oil change and pull it out. I am going to have to do the oil pan gasket soon and thought I'd just replace it while I was there.  Thanks
    • All that matters is you're safe and you were able to type that post. Hopefully heaps of parts you can recover for the next shell.
