Hello guys!

I crashed my BNR34 last month and trying to fix it now but, there is no any stock of parts that is front side member (parts number 7510024U30 and 7510124U30 ). 
Fortunately, I could get front closing plates (parts number 75131-24U00 and 75132-05U05) but couldn’t get main side members.
So, I can’t fix my car anymore... I searched some information and found out that  Bcnr33, Enr34 are using same front side member. However, those of side members are sold out or discontinued. Does anybody have ideas for fix my car, could you help me please. (Sorry for my bad English)

thank you 

 

sincerely

Thank you for replying my topic!

I already asked and entrusting to fix my car for a panel beater that close to my house but, they said we don’t have any technique to repair bent metal. So I was wondering if there is another way to fix my car...

or buy a donor car such as ENR34 or something

well you beat me to my suggestion since it's a 34 GTR ?

seriously....find a more traditional panel beater who has the old skills to make them, not a modern guy who just buys bits and glues them back on.

That is the very definition of a panel beater. I cry and I wail for the state of manual skills present in the motor trades these days.

Take it somewhere else, to someone who has hammers and dollys and rolls and straightening benches.

Yep !

Gone are those where you walk into a panel beaters and see an english wheel or for that matter find someone who knows how to panel beat an aluminium body panel ! There is a lost skill if I've ever seen one.

      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?

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      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/
