i know that title can be portrayed as a little bit inflammatory if you guys don't what sort a dude i'm like yet.

but it's a serious question.

are you guys all mentally retarded or something?

because - and it's not just me that notices... in-fact it was actually my girlfriend that initially pointed it out to me before i started seeing it...

It seems that ALL V series skylines in Perth have either one or both rear corners of their bumper bars dented in

i noticed this like 3 months ago, n just thought "nahhh i'ts just probably the same car i'm seeing" so i started memorising number plates etc, and i noticed that i was right - seems that every sivler V35 coupe i see has one of or both of their rear corners of their bumper bars dented in - quite badly too

so - i have to ask... and i'd like a genuine answer before this thread gets turned into a total mockery... why do all your cars have the two obligatory dents in your rear bumpers? quite "high up" in the bumper too!

i've narrowed it down to the following options

1) The Cpillar is hard to see through during parking so sometimes you reverse the car onto a rock/mailbox/short wall/bus stop/drivethru orderbox

2) the reverse sensor alarm is loud and annoying like a vuvuzuela and after three days of parking you just rage-park into a rock/mailbox/short wall/bus stop/drivethru orderbox

3) it's done in japan on RORO boats maybe?

4) mentally disabled. like. fully retarded. not "suffers from aperplexy" or any of that questionable shallow end mental disability. i mean like. steady eddy. go shopping with a crash helmet type.

so what's the deal?

i'm curious - do YOU guys do it?

or is it someone from previous ownership?

is it just a V35 "injoke"?

is it a "mod" that you guys do?

what do you HIT exactlY??? is it a rock/mailbox/short wall/bus stop/drivethru orderbox???

...why do you never fix it?

would you like me to organise an event open exclusively for silver V35 drivers (secret of course) and i'll teach you all how to reverse park?

fyi - this thread is in jehst don't get me wrong. but i would actually like to know...

LOL @ being so annoyed you created a detailed thread on it.. I will definitely be keeping an eye out now for dented V35's and checking this thread.. hilarious.. Maybe its a 'cool' in joke as suggested, seems as though alot/most of the ss utes (cbf working out which model, cbf thinking about holdens) have a dent on their ute tray flap thing.. Maybe its some sort of SS ute/v35 conspiracy...

lol the dent in the flap on the utes is where retards forget there tow ball is on.. let the flap go instead of placing it down. and bam! seen it happen, and have been told about it lol

have u seen my baseball

LOL @ have you seen my baseball

just thought of another possible case scenario

perth's epic storm from april or whatever

maybe there was some certain form of bionic hail that was purpose designed to seek and uglify V35 rear bumpers?

but it doesn't happen to red, blue, black, or white V35's. only silver

maybe it was a dealer option?

oh and!

LOL @ being so annoyed you created a detailed thread on it..

yeah quick 3 things about me.

1) i make detailed threads about stuff i'm passionate about. such as conducting studies into the behaviour of silver V35 drivers. and furthermore. i am dead serious about planning and executing an AHG driver training day for V35 drivers so i can teach them first hand in how to reverse park. first with two weeks of theory.

2) as you can see i have given this topic some serious thought.

3) i'm just being Miley.

Obsessive compulsive?

yes and obviously to the same level as eccentrix with his "WHITE R33 SHUT THE f**k UP" signature hahah

i guess dark green s13s, gun metal grey r32's and dark blue xr6 turbos are now equally as shit

:P

Hilarious thread!

I've noticed exactly the same thing, except I've never payed this much attention to it. After the "some cool mod you guys do..." bit I've decided that was the funniest post I've read nearly all year dude =]

You have clearly not read the '22" wheels on a 33' thread... That thread is just full of lols

    • 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/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
    • 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.
