Howdy all.

I am about to become an R33 GT-R owner :wassup: and at this point only have limited knowledge on the cars. I have looked at the car I want to buy - owner says it is a V Spec but it has no decal on the rear. Is there any other way to tell the car is or is not a V Spec.

Thanks

Yeah, as Leewah said, fins on the diff casing, plus you can see the extra pump for the active diff pump gear tucked up on the right of the car behind the rear wheel arch and the line going from it to the diff. There should also be a A-LSD light on the tacho. Those two thing are probably the easiest ones to pick. They have different shocks and sit 10mm lower or something too, but you could never pick that. The attessa computer is different, the attessa-pro, don't know how to pick the difference externally. And apparently a V-spec GTR always has a "W" as part of its Chassis identification tag whereas a normal GTRs have an "O". V-specs also have different brake ducts.

Most of that info came from an article in a HPI mag. Should be good. They all checked out on my V-spec which I got to see for the first time yesterday at the compliance workshop.

Can email the article if you like, too big to post here and if I reduce it, its too hard to read.

      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

      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/
