Holy crap! Just got my car back fromt he mechanic and I have to say this new single plate is the best decision I've made for this car in a LONG while.

Drives like a stocker with only slightly heavier pedal feel, almost 3400lb clamp and a carbonite clutch plate surface that seems to work great.

It wasn't insanely expensive either.

I'm also now totally sold on Redline Lightweight.

All in all, a very happy day. Roll on the 30th!!!

Awsome clutch's, Had a 3800pound one made for the drag Silvia, felt so much like a stock one, I could still drive through Brisbane city. Also had a little 2200pound one put into my stocko Silvia.

Adrian, can I ask how much you pay'd for the 3400lb clutch?

Yes you are a cheesy poof! :)

You told me the clutches were the shit but I was convinced I should get one from a lot of advice and experience that Paul and Stace have had with theirs.

Oh..... SO NUURRRR!!!!!

As for how much I paid for it - including the Smurf Blood and fitting, it was just under $1400.00

About $1000 exchange including shipping and machining my old flywheel.

Still getting used to it but the car is running slightly quicker mph (approx 2mph) for some reason. Probably cos the tyres have worn down lots :) :) :)

I know that when you look at a clutch you shouldn't make judgements on how it should perform but I'm telling you it 'looks' impressive.

Only one way to find out mate :)

      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/
