Thanks for the update R32_GODZILLA & GTROC UK.

Good video too. Enthusiast in crowd: So are Porsche going to be worried? GTR Driver: "They might be yes" :woot:

probably only temporarily.

but porsche know it'll take nissan another 20years to make a better gtr.

so, whatever.

looks good tho. still dont like it from the side. the rear section looks too 350z/v35. i hate how all these new jap cars look similar.

be imaginative ffs.

performance maybe porsche 997, but still doesn't look any where near as quality as one.

A new hsv gts sells for around 90G so much closer to that than 350 odd for a 911T

at least the new hsv's actually look tough. sure they look a bit like R34 gtr wannabes, but hey, at least the design which may have influenced them was actually good in the first place. the creative bunch at nissan thought the Z and V35 were masterpieces and used them as a base for their all new replacement for one of the best jap cars ever. awesome work, nissan.

and $90k for a hsv gts? wtf are you talking about? they're more like $75k.

not sure whats up your a hole but what looks 'tough' in your words is a very subjective opinion. from a general 'world wide' perspecitve i think the new GTR will be a very positive move for nissan. I guess only time will tell.

It's designed to appeal to those who are expected to fork out the cash for a new one, not people who buy old Skylines. Plus it's a flag ship to a range so design must reflect that, it has to look 'family' as the R32-34 for their time.

    • 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/  
    • 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.
