nice car, adam sent me the link to it when he was looking for his new one.

please, whatever you do, don't mess up the wheel fitment - that car has potential to look HOT, pm me if you need help making them fit nicely :thumbsup:

Got the report today, some little cosmetic issues need attention- leather on shift knob has peeled away, rear sunroof inop, a couple of scratches.

I just need to get the car so i can decide whether i can just do springs or if i go the whole hog and do coilovers instead. TEIN are on special brand new on flea bay.

Hey GSR600guy, Did you get yours done by ken from stateroads..the inspection? He did a black stagea at Nagoya for me today and when I called he said he was currently doing another one. He seemed to be very harsh on some little things yet oblivious to other's. Had no idea and thought I was a madman when I asked if it was a dayz edition, nor as to why i would be looking in the sunroof for rust. Also, would not believe me that some stageas came stock with tien thus him writing on the report that it wont pass roadworthy in some states.

Be good to know how you felt about his reporting...If that is the same guy haha.

same guy, report seemed fairly good. when i rang him to ask about specific items(like the receptionist advised me) he seemed annoyed. he mentioned some stuff that i wanted to follow up on like a vac switching valve inop, just didn't seem to want to be bothered. that said the report is pretty comprehensive and i'm glad it got done. the photos on car point deliberately didn't show some bad scratches to the kit, the torn leather or the pod filter. overall i'm happy tho.

Yeah i felt the same way. When he answered the phone and I said. His it's Scott i had, you inspect the stagea today. His response was.. yes? So from there i sorta knew it was going to be hand to extract finer detials out of him. But like you said, glad i got the report done. Bit dissapointed in the photos they provided though..poor quality. Though Nagoya told me the car didn't have any rust under the mirrors. Which both sides had very visible bubbling. So he(nagoya) lied there which i wasnt happy about.

      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/

      eBay "Hella" oil level sensor

      By PranK · Posted

      Yeah, I guess its pretty easy to get to if this doesn't work. Just wait till next oil change and pull it out. I am going to have to do the oil pan gasket soon and thought I'd just replace it while I was there.  Thanks

      All that matters is you're safe and you were able to type that post. Hopefully heaps of parts you can recover for the next shell.
