So Close But Not Close Enough......


Recommended Posts

There has been a lot of talk about Nissan having the GTR at the Ford Proving ground, Well I can tell you that today i have seen the GTR that Nissan Australia have for the motor show and i can tell you that its NOT this car that people have been seeing. It only arrived a few days ago in one big timber box that had written "Made in Japan" on it. Even though its locked away in a secure area, i managed to get a look at its ass end, and that was enough to make my day.

The frustrating thing was that i was working all day 2 meters away from it and the only thing stopping me from getting a good closer look at it was one big security roller door and concrete walls :miner:

I saw a dark one in the city, a 35gtr..... good god those things take up so much room..... i thought it didnt look so good, but in real life it makes you drool :D.... that old asian guy must be loaded like crazy....

but how come the car was registered? or were they fake plates....hmmmm

apparently there is some new loop hole that we don't know about yet. All will be revealed soon (keep checking the 35 GTR section)

whoever has contact with this car, send it to Final Inspection damn it!!! It surely needs a detail, and Damian is the only one worthy enough to work on one. Then i can go drool all over it

Troy, i think you must have got some paint in your eye or something, wash it out and then take a look at the GTR again :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
