Did you find any of the those Statesman anodised 450cp Prop valves at the wreckers?
This is speculation but you might be able to find them on V8 wagons with 4WDisc too I suspect.
If so I would be interested to see if the spring is the same as the picture as when I dismantled it the prop valve it seemed slightly skewed,
possibly suggesting it was tampered.
BTW: That photo of the dismantled prop valves is one I took a while back when when fixing a mates Statesman SLE brakes.
Had to unseize the prop valve.

you would need to cut the housing down for sure.
I did some searching around here after I posted that and I found that LHoon bloke fitted one in his LJ 2 door without cutting it down, just used some front wheel drive offset wheels.
I sent him a PM with some questions, just waiting for his reply. If thats the case I'll definitely go down that path.

In addition to that I found out that all R31 Skyline's are a 4x114.3 offset which is the most common 4 stud pattern (that and 4x100). I think a solution could be to re-drill axles and brakes to Torana pattern and then get a set of Astra 5 stud steel wheels (same stud pattern as Torana) which will solve the front wheel drive offset problem with the BW diff and you can keep a set of matching wheels. I didn't want to have to go 4 stud on the back.

LH Hoon used Commodore s off memory...same offset as Astra.
Fuzzy...no joy.

Just read through.. great work, looks pretty simple to set up the handbrake too. Rory, did you get the skyline axles re- drilled to hq pattern? how did you get the discs? are they skyline items re-drilld to hq pattern aswell?
Yep...No dramas as the wheels hold the discs on...I will get blanks redrilled like 76LX did for this car.
