The whole purpose of this post was to point out that Nissan might sell the skyline here in oz which it hasnt done since nissan stopped making the r31 locally and the 100 r32 gtrs. Im not denying the fact that most would want to import under sevs:D

Yeah, I bought my brother a die-cast 1/43 scale V35 Skyline sedan about 2 years ago....

no seriously. :D i remember reading something a few months ago about some spot. plus ive seen photos of them on the docks... but i guess you'd know a little more :D

i was going to buy one of those 1/43 models. one in a tude but i decided to go the r34 should bought them all.

Shrub32, the rest of that interview (not published on that web site) has Leone Daphne saying that "I can't see where it would fit into our price range [above or below 350Z], we wouldn't sell the required numbers and even if we could, the cost would be prohibitive."

I don't like your chances. It's rumoured the new (G36???) Skyline four-door will be sold worldwide. If it was, we'd get either British or US-spec interior with Jap-spec engine and unique suspension.

Daphne is hot for the up-coming Nissan GT-R (it's no longer badged Skyline) but doesn't yet know how much it will go for. The good word around the industry is that it will be more than $100,000 (remember it's Nissan's "Halo" car to sit above all others.)

    • 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/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.
