pimpin' ?!

pffft.. they're my drift rims. :D

Yeah i'd say pimpin was the wrong word to use, now I look like a 16 year old without a car :)

One hell of an expensive exercise anyway dude... being Vic, did it rain the whole time as well? :D

As I have always maintained. Victoria Sux!!!

That's gotta be more than just running a bit flat for a while. Is there suspension damage as well. Just the extensive wear on the old tyre makes me suspicious. As well, any pothole big enough to crack a rim like that could have caused other damage.

FWIW,

When I bought my first R32, it had 18x10 BBS wheels one of which had been slid along a gutter

(big gouge about 6mm deep).

Morton and May at Liverpool fixed it for $150; I couldn't tell where they'd actually done the work

from the outside (I made marks on the rim with a texta before I sent it to them). They have a good

rep from the research I did before sending my wheel to them (about 2 years ago now).

HTH,

Saliya

      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/
