hey good work!!

will be thumping.. so do you have any plans for it?? I guess its got soo much done to it there probably isn't heaps that is easy

these wheels would look good on it..but they're from japan

wind down the boost to give less power.. probably a first in the skyline scene..hehe :) but yer, 400rwkw couldn't be fun when its raining.

I have a few plans of getting the most of my car, and hopefully learning a few things over the next couple of months... but i think unless i have a major change of circumstance I'm going to sell it b4 the end of the year :-(

but i have bigger and better plans for my next car.. and wanting to work from the ground up this time i think, do every thing my way.. and probably install most of it myself to save costs. Think I'm in a position to install most of the usuals myself..

still not sure exactly what i'm getting, few options.. think i'm going to give importing a go - once SEVS is up and functioning properly.

haha, thats awesome...

You'll get used to it eventually though. Will be fun to take it down the 1/4 - you'll get so many looks and stuff.. Better set a good time or you'll get abused - you got the car now there is no excuse about the driving :)

ahh the never ending plans :D

i always say to myself after a mod "...and THATS IT! not more!"

the car is currently at Palm getting the bonnet, front bar, boot and new stealth wing (when it comes in later on this week/next week) resprayed

bought the wheels last week and im happy with those

now, the car will have to wait for abit till the money tree grows a tad then its turbo option time

1. highflow

2. straight bolt on aftermarket

3. go the whole hack, manifold, external gate, td06 *shrugs*

well see once the time comes around, then ill make dead set decisions

u really want the widebody kit for the R32? never been a huge fan, but its something different i guess. post a pic!

I'm thinking GTS4 too, if not a good ol gts-t will do.. around $10k ? maybe being too optimistic there but not sure.. then spend $5k on the "minor mods" (kit, exhaust, Fmic, boost, etc) to get it to around the 170kw wheels mark.. then think about thinking about trying to get it to 250 kw or so at all 4 via something or other turbo...But i'm in no hurry. May just do stage 1, save the money for my house, adn get a 1990 R32 GTR under the 15 year rule in 2005 if its still around then (thinking way too far ahead.. lol)

Still also thinking the 180 for number of reasons, even though people might disagree with me..

possible a tt-soarer /me waiting for the slap from inark

I don't think I will be doing mine till right till end of this year, start of next year. Might think about a worked 89 model of "whatever", but will have to think about that a bit more.

whistla: what happened to your bonnet? I think i've only seen yours once, but it looked damn clean to me :(

haha..yer, i consider that for my 33.. but well i don't want to spend another $8k which i know will be hard to get like $30k for mine.. sure it might be 270rwkw, but its a pretty limited market for buyers.. you gotta be keen - not many p-platers can afford that :D

    • 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
