Brake MC Proportioning Valve Removal?

Hi Richard,

My 2c is that seeing as I have never seen an external proportioning valve on a Nissan of the R3x era....then you'd expect all the BM44/50/57 type MCs to have prop valves inside.

As to how to remove it so that the MC keeps working......dunno.  I have heard tales of people removing the prop valve and having the pedal go to the floor because removing it makes the back half not work properly.  Dunno if there was a better way for such people to do it than what they did, and I've not played with it myself.

Have a look at this thread off SAU here, for some clues (not clues that answer all your questions, but clues nonetheless)

Pretty sure that a Patrol has a one and 1/16" BMC so the one I have may not have a prop valve. Shouldn't be too hard to remove the piston and see what if anything is behind it.

OK to wrap this up (if it all works lol)  I got a  Patrol JB1775 MC which has only two outlets and no prop valve. The GTR one I have has a non removable prop valve and is specced for the Brembo front caliper models so it's no good for me and is for sale.

I would be inclined to give the GTR M/C a go. "Specced for the Brembos" sounds more scientific than it probably is. I used a GTR M/C on my AWD Stagea with 330mm brakes on the front and 2 pot GTR calipers on the rear  and it pulled up fine at any speed. Incidentally when I rebuilt the M/C it was with a ZX kit.

The Patrol MC is the same size, it just doesn't have a inbuilt prop valve which is what is not wanted when a separate adjustable prop valve is used.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
