CAR IS SOLD, THANKS

Hi all,

Up for sale is my blue merc. It is an immaculate car and I planned on keeping it once I sold the white one but I need to sell it due to financial difficulties.

I am the second owner of the car, and prior to me purchasing the car it had been in storage for 12 years. The guy that had it before me serviced it with Mercedes.

The interior is immaculate, the engine runs beautifully and it is reliable, I have taken it to the coast and to syndey and it didn't miss a beat.

I have spent some money on it, new front shocks, calipers all rebuilt, new bushes, gearbox service, carburetor rebuild, other bits an pieces, painted the roof in blue candy and lined and scrolled the car.

For the age there are few cars around that run as good and in as good as condition for the money.

Asking $3000 ONO

phone 0418 327 427

Thanks Christian,

Car has genuine 260XXX kms on it as varified by mercedes service papers. It is a 250 optioned with air con, 1974 model the last of the 114 body style.

Tranny is auto naturally most mercs are, with the manuals being very rare and a pain to get parts for, auto is the go for a cruiser like this.

    • 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/
