Nope unfortunately not. Have decided I shall be parting my car out (have allready began selling one or two things). At this point in time the money invested into that car can be better used so it has to be done. Never thought this day would come to be honest lol.

And yes Chris, you can have my title :P

Parting out, don't do it, it's a trick

Keep it just stop spending money :P

Haha nah. I've had my fun with it and done most of the thing I wanted to do with it.

I'm about to build a house and that money from parting out the Skyline will go a long way in the first twelve months while Stacey finishes her final year of uni.

Once she starts her proper job I will look into getting another car.

Yeah thats fair enough. I'm going to head out west for a bit next year to save for a house. I've got a little bit of savings so far but its next to nothing compared to what I need.

I might be keen on some parts when it comes time to sell anyway :)

True shit Phil? What are you looking at going on with if you dont mind me asking?

I'll get an 09 R6 to get me by for the next year and then down the track who knows. If I was to get another import than an R34 GTR would be on the cards but not sure if I want another Skyline.

I wouldn't mind building an RX7 one day, but not as my main car.

A 335i/M3 is most likely what I will go to. After driving dad's 7 speed DCT E92 335i around nothing else has compared. It will all come down to how well we do with repayments in the first 24 months for the house. Will allow me to calculate a bit better on how much I can spend on another car.

      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?

      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/
