Do japanese car makers offer diesel engines in Japan,like in Europe were they have to offer diesel engines because of Bmw,Wolkswagen etc?

Do they even offer diesel besides petrol?

Diesels are available, but no one ever uses them. They're mainly used as company work hacks. The 4WD's are about the only passenger vehicle on the road here that run on diesel.

Diesel is being phased out for passenger cars due to emission, so it is incorrect to say they are not readily used. Nearly every make and model there is a diesel version. Which is why my exporters like a mate is making a killing sending luxury diesel cars especially 270D back to UK and other european countries :D

Though it is largely used by commercial vehicles, which will still be available for a little longer before they all change to fuel cell.

Brian, correct so does the bluebird, sunny, crew...etc...

    • 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?

    • 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
