Does anyone know where the ambient temp sensor is located on an R32 GTR?

If I drive around for a while then leave the car parked the ambient temp creeps up to around 40 degrees! - or so it says, then after 5 mins with the car moving again it goes back to a more realistic number

Has anyone located the sensor - or has anyone moved it?

They are generally located some where in the front bumper.

Mine does the same as yours, in peak hour traffic on a 40degree day I've seen temps as high as 65degree's. :P

My amb temp sensor is fairly spot on within .5-1degree, according to those digital time and temp readout things located around Adelaide.

Thanks - i will probably end up moving it to a more reliable location, i have a Holden Berlina aswel as the GTR and it (eventhough a much lesser car) can get the temp right all the time, ill try to find the Holden one and move the GTR one to the same area its front bar

      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/
