On a turbo charged motor WITHOUT NOS you only need a fuel cut.

Cut the fuel on a turbo charged motor and you get what??? Nothing.. there is no fuel to create a bang.

NOS has its own delivery system, which is why you need an Ignition cut.

Cut the fuel, nos still goes in and bang.. leanout goodbye motor.

I dont think its that at all. Apexi say high horspower cars at high rpm are in danger of a split second lean out by hitting a fuel cut. Which is why they have the pro version. I dont think they were thinking of nos at the time of making it as the japs arnt too keen on nos.

Yeah thats right R32-GTS, Sorry Cubes. Makes no differece NOS or not, NOS is not fuel its just extra oxygen source. This means its to stop the momentary lean out when fuel is cut but ignition is stil present (until theres no fuel left).

ok my bad with NOS being fuel. lol :)

Irrespective, you do not want a fuel only cut with NOS.

I still seriously doubt there would be enough fuel left over to ignite and cause any problems with our every day power figures.

If fuel cuts were a real danger ecu's would not be using them.

if you buy a regular power FC, and use a Bee-R rev limiter, you'll have all the dual rev limiter functionality, plus the Bee-R unit has a handbrake sensor too for launch control. I don't know if the Power FC pro has that. Both of them cut ignition and dump fuel into exhaust on hitting the rev limit (ie chitty chitty bang bang + flames = bye bye catalytic converter)

    • 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
