It would be harder to drop the tank of fuel, then plug in a cable and hit "load tune".

The difference is, the change you are saying you'd do only removes the easiest part of the whole operation...

I'm saying if you spend some time wiring in an ethanol content sensor then it works like OEM and you don't have to plan your life around sourcing E85 of the right concentration or worrying about flashing between tunes. I would agree with the logic of "it's cheaper to pay upfront for flex fuel vs potentially an engine rebuild", especially on something like an M2.

Yeah, this is what quick jacks are for, for those that have the luxury of needing to garage shuffle.

I just drive my car every day. My Skyline is my one and only daily.

This is a good point but I could never get my Skyline insured with comprehensive coverage if it was a daily.

Makes it SOOOOOOOO easy, no wiring, no cutting/chopping, no need to even try hard.

 

Putting a flex sensor into a shitbox Skyline on the other hand...............

Me being me, moved the stupid thing 3x times.

      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/
