Hi Guys & Girls, ive been lurking around this forum for a rather long time. But I am finally in a position to get myself my most loved car, a R34 Gt-t. Being a huge n00b when it comes to the skyline, I am looking for as much help and guidance as your all willing to share with me. :)

So far I have been looking at getting my r34 from either Distinctive Imports or Autoworx, and i was wondering what peoples feeling where of these 2 dealers? Good and bad experiences would be good, however from what ive read the bad usually isnt recommended to be posted here. So if its really bad could you PM me and let me know about your experiences?!

both are respectable businesses but my vote would have to go to autoworx. alastair will look after you.

i've dealt with and bought parts from both and will never buy from reagan (distinctive) again, parts were fine but hes a bit of a knobhead sometimes

Well Autoworx is a SAUWA sponsor... Haven't dealt with either of them in terms of car purchases, but i purchased some parts from Autoworx and they were really good, really professional.

Im +1 for Autoworx, but i think you should check both of them out, decide which one you feel more comfortable with or which one has a car that you really like.

Good luck bud :)

Distinctive Imports!!

I bought my R34 GT-T there and couldn't be happier with it. The condition of the car itself was immaculate apart from very minor paint scratching on the passenger door which Regan willingly pointed out (I never even noticed it). After negotiation with Regan and Shaun, I got a full alarm system and built in turbo timer included with the purchase price of the vehicle. After I bought my 34, I decided to get a FMIC, 3" Stainless-steel turbo back exhaust system, front bar and TEIN shocks+springs put in. All of this work was done at Kensei garage (part of DC Imports). All modifications were done by Shaun and I have to say I was really happy with the service and effort they put in to my car. After the front bar had a trial fit with the intercooler, they had the bar painted and ready to fit up. When everything was mounted properly, they still had a few problems getting the front bar to sit nicely. Thus they endeavoured to make modifications to the front bar and intercooler mounting to make everything sit nice and flush and basically perfect! All parts were ordered in quickly and I was able to pick up the car earlier than I had arranged for. During the time my car was at Kensei/DC Imports, one of the interior lights wasn't working at all and Shaun kindly fixed that at no cost.

Regan also gave me good prices on the front bar and the tein shocks and springs he had lying around. DC Imports definitely have amazing after-purchase service and take care of their customers. Would highly recommend them!

      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/
