Dumb luck my friend. I had my r back for 7 hours after havin it off the road for 7 months and got done for height, major with rwc needed and 299 dollar fine. Forgive me for erring on the side of caution but cruises are a lot easier to be invisible in or find ways out of the situation. Because an event that big WILL result in cops turning up and handing out defects and epas like candy

Haven't been to Knox cuz I don't feel like getting caned by pettett no...

pettett is a wank.

He had me sitting in handcuffs on the side of the road because he was under the assumption my vehicle had drugs in it. better yet at 6.30am going to work in a suit.

Car was stock back then.

P.S Ive never had a narcotics or drug offence to my name. hell never even touched the stuff. except as my car wasnt illeagle I must have drugs because I argued back saying this is rediculous I have a job to go to.

People still get done by him at Knox. May be rumor. But I also hear that he's training lilydale tmu to be as bad as he is...so... Either way... You can't up and move your car at a show n shine if the cops turn up.

Which they will.

Well, let's just go to somewhere safer and with less coptention.

point was having the cars all sitting there in a show and shine makes it so much easier for the cops to rock up and hand out defects as quick as they can write them. And they're a Lot more predisposed towards major defects these days.

im keen for the cruise

ive lived in the knox area for two years and got done three times. Twice by Pettit, saw him again today on the way home from work on ftg rd unmarked dark green ss. he was pretty good with me, got done but just told me to raise the coilovers, loose the pod and bleed valve, and put my stock wheel back on, both times lol. his side kick got me once on stud rd peak hour traffic, while he was under my hood, saw an evo coming down the road saw it, walked into the middle of the road indicating to pull over, the said pop your hood ill be with u when ive done this guy, sent me to epa out bum f**k west, he was worse !. So i acted full dumb nd made him get on his knees to show me how to tell the tyre is bald, and explain how a boost controller works and what not. that guy was worse than Pettit.

stay away from knox! but if its advertised, he will come form anywhere

    • 12+ months passed so they have no obligation to do a warranty claim. It leaked from the rear circuit. Front circuit was fine, but I tried many times to bench-bleed and in-car bleed (wasted 1L of Penrite racing brake fluid) to no avail. Threw my old BM50 or whatever the standard R32 GT-R BMC is, brakes went back to normal. So from my very limited anecdotal experience, I cannot recommend HFM, even though a lot of their products looks good. Just my experience (I have a genuine Nissan BM57 in a box waiting to be installed now).
    • 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/
