Hey Guys

Firstly, as you will notice this is my first post, I am new to the forum and am a first time skyline owner... only just recently got one!

My car (pics below) is a 98 auto r34 gtt with nismo kit. I love the kit and also love the fact that this particular one is completely stock, nothing done to it so i can make it my own! please don't flame me for havin an auto, i won't go into any auto v manual debates, it was a personal choice for me. period.

I always felt like an outsider looking in when seeing others on performance car forums such as this, my mate at work has a skyline and is always on this place! Now I can really relate, since buying my car I have been on these forums alot, reading through, building up my knowledge base (i can't name all the engine parts, what they do, and how to fix them like most on here).

I am starting to look for acknowledgement when driving by and spotting a fellow skyline drivers, I am starting to feel the sense of community which I think is great!

It's been amazing how much specific and good advice I've found on this place, not being that knowledgeable, it has helped me make some good decisions.

A couple things that have come about because of this forum include:

- I am taking my car to Bels Garage for a service this weekend, log books I got were Japanese and wanted ppl who knew what they were doing to see what needed to be fixed/replaced on my newly bought car. Bels has a great rep!

- Am also getting a premium autowatch alarm system/turbo timer from security in motion installed based on recommendations here

- am going out to buy some Meguirs Tech Wax aswell to make my car look hot! lol

Anyways more to the point, I have a question, look at the second pic below, this wasn't taken by me it was from the original ad... my mate who has a skyline says that the rims are 'stock GTR rims'... can anyone verify this? he also told me I could get a fair nick for them sold second hand, they are in as new condition, no blemishes.

Just wanted this piece of knowledge for future reference... down the line i intend on getting a nice set of rims and if could make some money off these that would be a bonus.

thanks for the help in advance and hope to be welcomed to tha place!

Welcome mate. Car looks neat and tidy. Make sure you comprehensively insure her!

Here are the actual R34 GT-R rims (they look similar but are an 18" rim and are painted the colour of brake dust)... they also have the GT-R logo on the centre cap instead of the Nissan logo.

      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/
