not bad retail value? description of what it does? I only see one brake line in/out, front?

I beleive the hatch’s have a lower bias (S13) to begin with due to the rear weight difference vs. coupe

Retail value: look it up

Description of what it does: wow, think about it, what it does is change the brake bias front to rear. What you see in the picture doesn’t mean there isn’t more to it.

The hatch’s or COUPES for that matter have a very bad brake bias as well, anyone who upgrades to Z32 brakes upfront notices the extreme front brake bias, I want to put this on my car as well, but because it didn’t come with ABS, it makes things much more difficult.

yea you’d have to get two valves and adjust them independantly, but EXACTLY even. It would be good for compensating if one side pulled though.

The valve is like 60$ and all its doing is lowering front brake pressure.

The old S13 made like -.76 g’s braking normally, and -.88~ g’s while i pulled the ebrake and braked hard. Needless to say brake bias sucks.

thanks dude, great attitude. I understand a brake balancer, but I haven’t seen a 1 channel one, just the front/rear ones in an LM car i saw.

in all honesty I did notice the bias problem when I was running Z32 rears and S13 fronts, but I kinda liked it

hey pavel, get an aditude check ok ther buddy.

do yourselves both a favour and stay out of ktichener/waterloo/cambridge/guelph this summer then. The BLITZ is back, and worse then ever. They’ll impound the car, and make you change everything and have it re-certified before it can hit the road again.

it’ll never seace to amaze me hwo manu fucktards there are running unsafe race setup style cars on the street.

best of luck 2 you both.

oh and bondo is for pussy’s do ti right the first time.

man these guys are heros

buddy my car isnt even driven on the street and if you knew anything about body work you’d know that no matter what you do even if you fill with metal and weld and grind it down you still need to put cheese in to smooth everything out.

I dont think pavel’s the one that needs the attitude check. Whats so unsafe about a brake bias valve? maybe if you’re a shitty driver and you dont know how to handle a car.

Oh, and a chopped back of a fastback to make it a pickup truck is safe? I suggest you stay out of Waterloo/Kitchener area this summer, cuz you know, your sh1t might get pwned.

and psssstttt… your wheels only cost $800, just don’t tell anyone 😉

The IN line is the line facing the camera facing the fender, the OUT line is going away from the camera facing the engine, with the line as the “U”

I could have made the line just bend back to the firewall but I wanted to keep an open concept design, maybe put up some light olive colors on the walls, with a glass table to keep the space looking as large as possible, it came out quite nice actually.
