Hey guys,

Im in need of some help, im actually from brisbane and im in the market for a GTR and i have found one that i really want. Basically i got it inspected with the usual compression and leak down tests completed etc and it failed how ever the owner of the car feels that the inspection is not accurate and is happy for another inspection. He does not mind where the car is taken he just believes that it deserves another inspection, as it has already cost me $250.00 for the first inspection im really hoping that this next inspection is more accurate. So what im asking is if anyone feels that they are mechanically capable or knows of anyone that is onto it when it comes to GTR's than i would appreciate your help im willing to pay what ever is required to get this car checked out im really desperate as im on the other side of australia.

You posted this thread in the W.A section so I assume that you are buying a GTR from over here?

If I were you I'd look in the consolidate workshop thread and find a workshop that is close to the dude and get them to do a compression test etc..

If it was checked by a reputable workshop the first time around and failed, why would a 2nd test be any different beside you spending more money?

If your so keen to have it re-inspected, as Lukas said check the consolidated workshop thread

If he is so convinced it is ok, you tell him wear to take it and he can pay and if it comes back ok then buy it??

Sounds fair to me....

Just make sure you get it i some were reputable that you can/will trust and that they can back up there claims in writing....

      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/
