Chris, PM replied.

And cheers Taffrey.

Matt I like the Maximas, especially the Ti, but the boss has her heart set on a Subie. Cheers though! :) Happy to sell to you for cash! :thumbsup:

tempting...

ill be keeping an eye on this over the next couple months,

might be able to take it off your hands once i get my finances sorted (again...)

Cheers lads, all PMs replied.

Hopefully I'm home from work early enough tomorrow, so I can take (and post) a few underbody, interior, and engine bay pictures for those that asked to see them.

As a few blokes have been asking why did I respray the car:

When in Japan, some the sphincter of the universe at the caryard decided to forklift it around rather than drive it. Using the forklift crushed the outer sill panels and by the time the car arrived in Aus the panels were starting to corrode and were heavily damaged.

I bought new outer sill panels from Mr Nissan Japan and had a bodyshop fit them. As I was paying for the entire interior to come out for the sill panel replacement, I decided to go ahead and respray the car, replace the right rear quarter and rear quarter glass on both sides.

Hope that helps!

Yes I did thanks, but I ended up buying Raw111's R33 GTR Vspec last weekend instead.

Good luck with the sale of your car though, its definatly a good buy.

Cheers,

Ian

I was really looking for a freshly rebuilt car, but this is a good price and the paint is great, so can you just tell me if the fluctuations of up to 10 psi (assuming psi is what was used to gauge) are big fluctuations or whether we're talking minor damage or we're factory condition (145 140 150 145 150 150)

It depends entirely on how the test was done. If it was done cold and dry as most people do them so they don't burn themselves, well the results are fine.

Keep in mind that an alloy piston grows in size when it heats up more than the engine block does, so ring seal and piston/bore seal improves with engine temp.

If these are the results of a wet test (tablespoon of oil in the cylinder to aid ring seal), then this might indicate an issue. In the scheme of things 10psi is nothing.

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • 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
