This undoubtedly has to be one of the finest 3000GTs in Australia. The fact that this car is a genuine Australian delivered 3000GT (not a GTO) only elevates its uniqueness. Light-years from the standard coupe, this GT has been tastefully modified with a premium list of components.

Under the ownership of a meticulous and fastidious owner, the car has always been garaged and serviced every 5000km with quality products. This car was never bought with racing/hooning in mind - owned and modified by a mature owner the car has only been taken out on the occasional weekend for motor events. I.e. it was never used as a race/track car.

As revealed by the pictures below, the car is vastly overloaded with numerous electronics and audio/video gear. This often misleads individuals to believing it as an all-show - no-go car. Nevertheless, as misleading as it may be, the cosmetics conceal a heavily modified 3.0L V6 twin-cam powerhouse. Coupled with two aftermarket turbochargers, standalone engine management system, and an inoculation of nitrous oxide, the car utilises its all wheel drive system to deliver neck-twisting torque and power levels of 780Nm and 400BHP.

All in all, this car has proven to be a showstopper as well as one that can stand up to its expectations on the street. In putting together a car with all the correct show-and-shine components and performance modifications, this truly does combine extremes of both worlds. It's unique in many ways, and has to be seen to be appreciated.

For more details refer to the feature article in the November 07 edition of ZOOM magazine (issue 119).

    • 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/
