as a matter of fact, R32s have become a new generation of posing cars coz somehow everyone thinks a R32 goes faster than a R33. and thats y they are so popular nowadays.

Skylines in general can serve as posing cars. I mean, there are people who don't want performance at all, there are a few non turbo models with very nice bodykits, rims, interiors etc.

For some reason, Skylines at the moment have more "street cred" than any other car....or as some people describe it, the wank factor. lol

Meh.

What can you do.

I bought my car for various reasons, it isn't a ford or holden, it has potential for much higher power with minor mods, it looks good (to me) and is a well built, reliable car. The same can be said about other imports but I'm extreemly happy with mine.

so when you think about a nice 32 gtr is around about 25-27. if you want something that is atleast decnet.

33's are pretty cheep in this respect.

Hmm 22-25k you could get something decent i reckon.

More than 26k onwards i'd expect a pretty immaculate 32 in all aspects.

Depends on your luck.

yeah they do have a massive "street cred" only because in 2f2f the skyline won and not the supra!!! also alot of people mistake a gts-t for a gtr... i think gtr is what makes the street cred. and word skyline gives the rest of the street cred to the gts-ts

but all and all... every single car theres alot out there!.. well most.. for example i see alot of stock commadores... and i dont give a second look coz it aint a poser or a "racer" etc etc... same with skylines... see alot of stock r33's and i dont give a second look.... but if its got mods... you look coz u know the person likes to mod... so whats under the hood???

or whats up in the hood...

    • 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/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
    • Yeah, I guess its pretty easy to get to if this doesn't work. Just wait till next oil change and pull it out. I am going to have to do the oil pan gasket soon and thought I'd just replace it while I was there.  Thanks
    • All that matters is you're safe and you were able to type that post. Hopefully heaps of parts you can recover for the next shell.
