For sale is my absolutely unique 2003 Nissan Skyline 350GT Premium Edition which is THE ChargeSpeed demo car and workshop entry in the Tokyo Auto Salon, 2007. It came runner up in the "Sporty Car" category at this show.

Here is the web address for the results page:

http://www.e-autosalon.net/2007ver/tokyo/c...007/sporty.html

I still have the competitors' certificate as well...

The car has all the usual premium edition options (Bose 10 speaker audio system, audio controls on the steering wheel, dual zone climate control, etc), with the exception of the leather/suede interior: the rear seat has been replaced (in Japan) with an alcantara item from the sport model.

It is a 2003 6sp manual 350GT with Brembos, and has travelled 84000km. It is registered until Jan 2010, and comes with the Qld personalised plates (CFV35) pictured.

I have kept the car as it was shown at TAS, with the exception of a Nismo guage kit (reads 15600km), English buttons for the screen/nav, and full ipod integration. I will supply the original guage cluster with the sale.

Modifications performed by ChargeSpeed are as follows:

ChargeSpeed fibreglass front bumper

ChargeSpeed fibreglass side skirts

ChargeSpeed fibreglass rear bumper

Chargespeed fibreglass headlight covers/eyelids

Chargespeed carbon fibre front bumper lip

Chargespeed carbon fibre front bumper inserts

Chargespeed carbon fibre front grille

Chargespeed carbon fibre bonnet

Chargespeed carbon fibre side mirrors

Chargespeed carbon fibre roof spoiler

Chargespeed carbon fibre bootlid

Chargespeed carbon fibre bobtail bootlid spoiler

Chargespeed carbon fibre rear diffuser

Chargespeed carbon fibre scuff plates

Chargespeed carbon fibre fully reclining bucket seats

Advance coilover suspension

Titanium exhaust tips

and Racing Hart 19"x9" front and 19"x10.5" rear wheels, running Dunlop Direzza tyres. The carbon fibre parts take a very significant amount of weight out of the car, with a corresponding increase in performance, so even though it is mechanically stock, it goes, stops and handles significantly better than a standard car. Also, the carbon fibre parts ore of extremely good quality, and it shows: absolutely beautiful wide weave that looks DEEP, unlike the Chinese knockoffs you see going around...

The car is in very good condition throughout, with the odd stone chip and interior scuff, as you would expect from a car that has travelled over 80000km.

The asking price is $42000. NO SWAPS!

It has been an absolute pleasure to own as a weekender, but has to go to finance the completion of my Stagea project car.

It will be sorely missed...

Cheers guys: thanks for the comments!

It wasn't easy getting the car here, and I doubt I'd go through it all again, given the chance: I had to import another complete car so that I had the parts to use for compliance, which was not a cheap excercise!

It's a damn nice thing to drive: I do love it, but my Stagea is getting to the point (new engine time) that it's going to require significant funds be thrown at it, so the other toy has to go...

BUMP! For anyone interested, 99% chance that the car will be entered in the Show 'n Shine at Jamboree.

I am interested in swaps and cash my way: need a good daily, as my Stagea will now be relegated to weekend warrior duties...

it's bumping time again!

C'mon guys: it's cheap, it's unique, and it's a great drive!

I'm looking for swaps for a R32/R33 GTR and cash my way...

Bumping.

C'mon guys: really need a daily now, but don't have the space for an extra car...

I will accept REASONABLE offers, but it's already damn cheap: there's a good $20k of aftermarket parts alone...

The graphics are all vinyl, so can be removed if you wish...

      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

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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/
