not bad for a self propelled lifesize replica of a jelly bean... does it have any weapons?

-D

nice car :)

i was worried it'd be a two door lancer with altezza lights, 18inch cromies and a gay droid body kit :cheers:

phew!

yeah i thought i would stick to a 2.5Lt turbo instead. the Altezza light lancers were tempting.

nearly already traded it in on a renault megane cup

Looking good nick lol at hairdresser when you coming over to cut my hair

those reno's are good too from factory they boost good and handling is exceptional went for a cruise through the gorge once with a heap of skylines and none of the rwd could keep up and even i was struggling

dont even go there luke at least he got the huffer version

yeah sam have to admit i have been driving it briskly lately and haven't had any issue even at rbt's ect

liking the "launch control" too (holds it at 3500RPM in 1st as that the best RPM for a launch with reduced torque steering)

through the hills point to point it would easily out do skylines.

Andrew can vouch for the handling through the round abouts the other day

Nice car nick! :cheers:

Contemplated getting one of these for my current lease through work, but just not quite enough room for all the gear when we go away with the little one so ended up with the Liberty GT instead. Was rather impressed by the equipment list they have, nice looking german rocket!

hahaha hairdressers car :cheers:

All jokes aside, she is a nice car mate. And yes, I certainly can vouch that they go very hard - would easily crucify a stocky R33, and would toast even a pretty well set up mild R33 through the hills!

Is this comparing it against an R33 GTR V-Spec Series III? Which is about the same price bracket... or comparing with an R34 GTR within the same year? or an R32 GTR modified to the same value?

lol they go pretty good :cheers: my boss as work just got 1, let me drive it when it had just 60ks on the clock.

im trying to con her into coming to fnf drive in antics in it.

is it a new 1? the lv?

i hear the clutches dont let you do a burnout though something engages and prevents it.

does yours put the hazards on when you brake hard?

lol youll be joining these forums soon then

14.4 quarter aint bad for a fwd, lil rolling start would help em spank a few decent cars.

Good to see u can connect to interweb again Nick. Nice pick up....any plans for any basic mods?

...and here I thought you were taking it easy due to havin a car load :D. The Megane sports makes the cutest bov sound and they do handle pretty well through the hills, but there have been instances when their Brembo brakes may experience serious brake fade on downhill sections :) and struggle when a particular silver rwd R33 pushes it to its paces.

    • 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?

    • 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/
