G'day Thanks for the info everyone on the brake bias, I nearlly got the conversion finished so i can try the brakes this week. If i have any problems i suppose i can hunt around for a valve of those cars. Has anyone tryed the QFM Brake pads, i have been told the Bendix dont work as well as they used too, due to the asbestos being removed.
Cheers Mark >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 04/22/05 7:04 pm >>> Mark, Good chance of working OK without prop valve but there's just no way of knowing for sure unless one has used this combination or driven a 1600 with this combination - I forgot to mention another small factor in this equation and that is brake pad brand, quality etc etc. I tend to use a harder pad in the front of my 1600 (Paged blues) but not many ppl will pay the price for them - I am using Bosch Supers in the rear as I've found they're just as good as Bendix Ultimates and they come out of the box for R31 - R31 Ultimates are Commodore modified for R31 (dabs of weld on the backing plates to locate the piston). Bendix have released another pad for R31 fronts called Advance? Something like that and they work a treat on the Skyline. I forgot to ask if they're available for R31 rears but they nearly would have to be... You would think. Have fun with it, Regards, Terry -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mark Overend Sent: Friday, 22 April 2005 7:54 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: Rear Brake Bias Thanks for the info Terry, I have 2 piston sumitono and 7/8 master cyclinder do you think this will be ok. Cheers Mark >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 04/21/05 7:23 pm >>> Mark, I found that it only depends on a few things with R31 rears: Master cylinder - size & brand Front callipers You don't need the prop valve with 13/16" Nabco (B210 Sunny) & 200B front callipers. Change master cylinder to a Tokico and you do - the internal valving must be different, whey too much rear bias in the Tokico. Same with a 3/4" cylinder Nabco, Tokico or Sankyo all have too much rear bias, and forget the Aussie content PBR cylinders as they're a shocker.

Any help is greatly appreciated. CheersMarkO -- No virus found in this incoming message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.
