Hi all,

I went and inspected this car last Tuesday (18 Jan 2011) , and I probably would've bought it except that on the following Friday I was offered a new job on a much higher salary and as such I am now looking for an R34 GT-R. Nevertheless, I thought I'd post my thoughts on Matt's car.

* Body is straight. I checked all the weld points for signs of damage/repair;— couldn't find any.

* I ran a magnet around the body of the car to check for bog. Magnet did not fall off at any point. (I was quite surprised, no other R32 I've inspected passed this test!)

* Paint is 99% flawless. Only blemish was a minor scratch on the passenger side of the front bumper, no physical damage to the bumper/body.

* All the electrics work. Windows are smooth. Car idles/revs smoothly.

* Engine did not blow any smoke.

* Interior is in good condition. No bubble in the dash and the driver's seat bolster showed almost no wear.

* Some slight surface rust in the spare-tyre well. I inspected this thoroughly, it is only SLIGHT surface rust at this stage and has not moved into the metal. Would only require a light sanding to remove it. Otherwise you could just keep it garaged and it wouldn't get any worse.

* Under-chassis was clear of rust.

* Matt had the car idling for 15 minutes, I checked for oil/coolant leaks. Couldn't find any. Got under the car with a flashlight and ran my hands all under the engine/around the sump checking for leaks. Only thing I got was dirt on my hands. No oil leaks found.

Overall, it's definitely one of the better R32s I've inspected. And as I said, I'd probably have it in my garage right now if I wasn't offered this new job.

If I get time later over the weekend I'll post some photos I took of the car.

I wish Matt all the best with selling this car.

    • 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/
