Looks like a top quality example dude, good luck with the sale. If your not getting to many bites here id suggest you put it on carsales, if you haven't already.

By the way, how much did the whiteline set-up cost you? I guess the handling got a whole lot better?

Thanks Matt,

The Whiteline kit cost me about $1000 plus about $150 to get some of it fitted as I don't have the tools to it all at home. Anyway, before I fitted the kit, the car was prone to very bad understeer and a lot of body roll. After I fitted everything, the car was transformed! Much less body roll and is much more neutral around corners. It seems to grip the road like never before.

The rear swaybar makes the biggest difference (stock GX only come with front sway bar - nothing else). The front strut top bar allows much better initial bite in the early stages of a corner, but without the rest of the kit, will only exaggerate the understeering.

All in all, if/when I ever buy another Subaru, whether it be a WRX or STi or whatever, I reckon I'd do it all again in a heartbeat!

I don't drive recklessly or speed or anything like that, but I like to enjoy myself a little on the twisties. Good healthy legal fun -- the best kind :mellow:

In case you're really interested, theres some articles on AutoSpeed which is what convinced me to buy this kit: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4 and Part 5.

Anyway (didn't mean for this to go on so long :rofl:) I've also listed the car on carsales.

    • 12+ months passed so they have no obligation to do a warranty claim. It leaked from the rear circuit. Front circuit was fine, but I tried many times to bench-bleed and in-car bleed (wasted 1L of Penrite racing brake fluid) to no avail. Threw my old BM50 or whatever the standard R32 GT-R BMC is, brakes went back to normal. So from my very limited anecdotal experience, I cannot recommend HFM, even though a lot of their products looks good. Just my experience (I have a genuine Nissan BM57 in a box waiting to be installed now).
    • How dare you sell your unreliable Skyline and buy a reliable, Toyota/Yamaha car with a strong gearbox, torsen LSD and Toyota reliability. At least you won't need to worry about oil pumps, big catch can, oil restrictors, blowing off power steering belts, sheering off 3rd gear, failing ABS relays/pumps, etc.
    • 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/
