Well long story short I was doing something in my engine bay Pulling something off and i slipped and broke the little plastic peice that connects to the Hoses. It says its the Fuel Perge tank but what is it and what does it do, Does this mean I need to buy a new one now?

Sounds like the purge line for the vapour canister. One line to the fuel tank, and vacuum and purge lines to the inlet manifold. The canister contains activated carbon, stores fuel vapour from the tank, and releases it into the inlet manifold when the motor is under light load.

So - if you broke the connection to the tank, you will end up with fuel vapour in the engine bay (bad), if you broke the purge line or vacuum line to the inlet manifold you will have an air leak and run the motor lean (worse).

Yes - replace it.

Well I Tried to fix it with superglue works *sorta when I start getting to speeds over 100 its start to run really bad and makes lots of noise.

Ill try and track one down but I hear they are hard to come by.

      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/
