As in title.

For the last 10 years this was my wife's daily runner. It went from home to the station and back (3kms) and to the shops once or twice a week. It's got a towbar and I took a trailer to the tip every month or so. Probably an average of 50kms per week since we've had it. We're both in our 50's so hasn't had a hard time.

Runs well

Manual gearbox - new clutch a couple of thousand k's ago.

Airconditioned - works well (bloody freezing).

Seats/interior all good.

Good general condition for its age.

Paint is faded

Radio doesn't work

Needs a couple of tyres.

Passenger side door mirror is gone - some doofus at the station wanted it :(

It's currently registered (and in use) but selling unregistered.

$500.

No offers thanks.

PM if interested...thanks.

Would've bought this INSTANTLY if it was in SA

How many K's? Is it in road worthy condition? In your honest opinion would it make it from Brisbane to Adelaide without any hassles? (driven).

It's done around 200ks. The odometer cacked itself 5 or 6 years ago and was replaced with one from the wreckers but that didn't work either, although in both cases the speedo worked.

There's no oil leaks, engine bay is all original (no dodgy wiring etc.)

As I said, it will need a couple of tyres but honestly there is no reason why it wouldn't make it.

It's an honest car. We are the second owners. Previous owners were also "middle aged" so it's never had a tough time.

If you are genuinely interested pm me your email address and I'll take some more photo's and send them to you.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By niZmO_Man · Posted

      12+ months passed so they have no obligation to do a warranty claim. It leaked from the rear circuit. Front circuit was fine, but I tried many times to bench-bleed and in-car bleed (wasted 1L of Penrite racing brake fluid) to no avail. Threw my old BM50 or whatever the standard R32 GT-R BMC is, brakes went back to normal. So from my very limited anecdotal experience, I cannot recommend HFM, even though a lot of their products looks good. Just my experience (I have a genuine Nissan BM57 in a box waiting to be installed now).

      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?

      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/
