Hi Richard,

My 2c is that seeing as I have never seen an external proportioning valve on a Nissan of the R3x era....then you'd expect all the BM44/50/57 type MCs to have prop valves inside.

As to how to remove it so that the MC keeps working......dunno.  I have heard tales of people removing the prop valve and having the pedal go to the floor because removing it makes the back half not work properly.  Dunno if there was a better way for such people to do it than what they did, and I've not played with it myself.

Have a look at this thread off SAU here, for some clues (not clues that answer all your questions, but clues nonetheless)

Pretty sure that a Patrol has a one and 1/16" BMC so the one I have may not have a prop valve. Shouldn't be too hard to remove the piston and see what if anything is behind it.

OK to wrap this up (if it all works lol)  I got a  Patrol JB1775 MC which has only two outlets and no prop valve. The GTR one I have has a non removable prop valve and is specced for the Brembo front caliper models so it's no good for me and is for sale.

I would be inclined to give the GTR M/C a go. "Specced for the Brembos" sounds more scientific than it probably is. I used a GTR M/C on my AWD Stagea with 330mm brakes on the front and 2 pot GTR calipers on the rear  and it pulled up fine at any speed. Incidentally when I rebuilt the M/C it was with a ZX kit.

The Patrol MC is the same size, it just doesn't have a inbuilt prop valve which is what is not wanted when a separate adjustable prop valve is used.

    • Hey everyone,   I’m looking for some advice on replacing the timing belt on my RB25DET Neo-powered 1998 Skyline. The engine was fully built about five years ago, including a fresh timing belt, water pump, and other essentials. However, since then, the car has only covered around 2,000–3,000 miles. It’s currently making around 650hp.   Even though the mileage is low, I know timing belts have a time-based lifespan too, and most recommendations suggest changing them every five to six years or 50,000 miles. Since I’m at that time mark, I’d rather not take any risks and plan to swap it out soon.   A few things I’d like to hear opinions on: 1. What’s the best belt for this setup? Should I go with an OEM Nissan belt, or is the HKS fine-tune a better choice given the power level? 2. Would you bother replacing the idler pulley and tensioner at the same time, or only if they show wear? 3. When swapping the belt, is it necessary to lock the cam and crank gears in place, or is lining up the timing marks enough? I’ve seen different approaches, and I want to make sure I do it right.   The water pump was changed with the rebuild and isn’t run off the timing belt, so I don’t see a need to replace it again. I just want to make sure I approach this the right way.   Any insight would be much appreciated. Thanks!
    • How does this compare to the internally gated g25-550 in terms of power production at same psi and spool
    • Did you find that your voltage of the battery wasn't where it's normally supposed to be? for example on my r34, it's at 14.5v when running after a few seconds, but I noticed when I had a rough start and it initially wasn't idling correctly, the voltage on my triple gauge cluster was showing lower than usual. Seems like the alternator is starting to crap itself
    • And, given that you're in NC, go buy an LS7 or something equally sweet and piss that crappy old RB off. Or call up Wesley Kagan and get his help putting a Merc V12 into it.
    • Do a compression test, and a bore scope on the cylinder that lost parts of the plug. Chances are, that cylinder isn't so happy anymore...
