Has anyone noticed that these rats have been stealing only 32's and 33's???

When Brenton stupidly locked my keys in my car (dunno how you do that when it has centrel locking) the locksmith told me that 34's and 35's are the hardest to get into, not because of alarms or immobilisers but due to the internals of the lock; usually I'd think he was talking shit to get more money out of me however after spending ages trying to pick the lock, and getting several other people (some of which I know are quite good at picking locks) to try to pick the lock it still wouldn't budge.

Oh, did you ever get your Mrs car back?

R34 coupe. Easy to get into

R34 sedan not so easy because of door frame

Don't forget that when you are trying to break into your own car you are doing it in the least destructive way possible and you can take your time. Thieves don't give a shit they use the quickest and most effective (often most destructive) way of getting in. Best bet is to make sure they can't start it or it makes a shitload of noise once they are in.

    • 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/  
    • 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.
