howyd guys and gals

been meaning to post this but haven't had time. Come home from work last fri night, tramming it up on St.Kilda rd, when i look to the left, at the corner of the old National Gallery of Vic, there is a White R34 GTR a bit down from the intersection, bonnet to bonnet with another car, both hoods up. I think i saw jumper leads, but i'll got a quick look. We have a good samaritan R34 GTR owner among us? Or we got one with a dodge battery :D, hehe anyone know what the story is? Or if it's anyone here? I think GTR-34 has a white R34 yeah?

cheers,

hope everyone is good. :)

nice work, triple plate clutch?!? your car must be pretty beasty to need that sort of holding power :D Well i'd like to think the place doing ur car isn't taking it out and running the battery flat! :)

well the only other White R34 GTR i know of is the HKS-R34, the BMT one?? Anyone know if that has a dodgy battery? ;)

i don't know whether he has a dodgy battery, but i am pretty sure the owner for that HKS-R34 went overseas............and saw him couple of times, not really know him very well, but chat with him some times, and been to drag long time ago.

i don't think he is using anything cheap in his car. and i heard cops stoped him for only get a chance to look at his car in close..............hehehe

If you want to work out which car was 'being jumped' and which was the 'jumper' - just think about which one was facing the wrong way, according to the road :D

So was it the GTR or not? That is the question :P

hey patpat34, unfortunately, no that isn't my car in the pic. It's a Bayside Blue R34 GT-T (factory) which is the car i want to get. I don't know of anyone in oz who has one, and i certainly haven't seen one so i thought it would be something pretty cool if i could get one. But i might be doing other things now with the money i've saved up, still in decision mode :)

I think ur right Yakuza, the plates are prob HKS-34 and Dale, the GTR was facing the RIGHT way, the other car was facing against traffic, so it looks like we have a White R34 GTR running around with a dodge battery :)

Is the HKS-34 a BMT tuned car? U get ur car looked after at BMT jet? maybe u could shed some more light on this... cos i doubt there would be many R34 GTR's in Melb.

ur car a daily driver GTR-34?

cheers.

Gohan: HKS-34 is indeed a white R34 GTR VSpec. It has black leather (factory) interior and a (rather noticable) CF bonnet. Currently has 18" bronze TE37's like mine.

Was recently a native of Southbank (just near my office which is just near your office) - so would be regularly on St Kilda Rd...

You don't need access to the battery in the boot to jump start a skyline.

There is a fuse box in the engine bay with a positive terminal, the big plus sign in red, hook it there and it will do.

      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?

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      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/
