Hi Guys and Gals,

Wasn't sure whether to put this post here or in items for sale, but it does seem relevant to this area of the forum....so....

About 8 months ago I picked up some dumbells when a uni gym upgraded their stock to newer rubberised dumbells. I bought most of what they had, which includes pairs of the following; 1kg, 3kg, 4kg, 5kg, 7.5kg, 10kg, 12.5kg, 15kg (all of these are 'single piece casts up to this weight), 25kg, 27.5kg, 30kg, 37.5kg (these four pairs use 5kgs discs on either side, like conventional dumbells).

All up, this is 12 pairs of dumbells, for 356kg / 783lbs. This is a fair whack of weight for most people (not all I admit).

I compared this to a set on Ebay (admittely these are new, rubberised and come with a rack), but the set on Ebay was only 10 pairs of 605lbs total, asking price $1300. That's over $2 per lb.

My set is 12 pairs, totalling 783lbs, and I'm asking just under 60c per lb, at $450 the lot. It's not likely anyone in the Bris or GC area (or anywhere else for that matter) will find gym quality, properly incremented dumbells of this much weight for this price.

If interested, drop me a PM, and I can send photos (not much to look at). My reason for selling - moving to a new CBD apartment that has dumbells up to 45kg already, so these are 'surplus to requirements'. Items are located in CBD, and pick up essential. Unless you want to pay about $350 for freight.

Cheers,

Jez

    • 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/
