thats why you should split your packages if you can, i.e. wheels, coilovers

Very obvious I thought!

Bit hard though when the kit they're talking about is 85000 yen and on a conversion rate of about 77 to the dollar, it becomes $1100.00.

If the kit could be broken down in Japan and shipped in bits, it could be got without drawing attention to the customs.

Very good score this if ya keen enough!

I got mine new for about $180.00 landed and this is just over $200.00 landed.

Only 11+ hours to go, so be quick if your keen enough, as these don't turn up every day, but this is a four cylinder (FJ20et) set up with 9000 tacho.

I think I paid over $100 for mine, but plus another hundred to get the damn things sent over from Japan several years ago. They NEVER turn up locally, so I had to take the hit.

Yours also have the correct rubber mounts at the base, whereas mine were missing, and I had to pull the switches off a 280zx.

The non-electric version of those mirrors in chrome go for staggering money.

Hey guys, any idea what these are worth? I bought them 2-3 years ago and I can't find any history of what I paid.

Saw this earlier when it was sitting at about $200 and thought of you D after our discussion the other day.

Was a big $$$ item new.. Don't know if Fantasy are still producing FJ stuff?

    • 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/
