I'll just be running myself for that night I think adrian... so don't match me up for any deciders!!!

Oh it's on... I tried to get Duncan to come out and play in the GTR and his response was, "Adrian, do you need a seat/dashboard/floor to race?"

lol

Oh and look at what happens when you leave yourself logged in at a mates' place and he posts on your favourite forum.... :D

well, at least your mate wasn't Pete, see if you can spot his posts under my name in this thread: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...ighlight=dutton

Looks like my car may be on the road by then, but I'll be in Bathurst that week.....good luck guys, I'll see you out there next time :)

I'll be there to cheer you guys on. If we do happen to lose then we can always take these commonwhores to the track!

no way... that would be like taking a pig to a slaughter house... Nice! :D

****, I rang the workshop today, car isnt going to be ready for the weekend, they have told me a day it will be finished 5 times over 3 weeks, they havnt even touched my car since last tuesday and then they promised it to be done by that friday then definately this thursday. Like it would be ok if something went wrong but they havnt even touched the ****ing car! All they got to do is wire and tune it.

They originally said 2 weeks, I told them to take their time (assuming about 4 weeks) at the 4 week mark I said I needed the car badly (which I do), we are now up to 7 weeks. My other car got defected, this is bullshit. There excuse was "well we have other stuff to do you know", said a few words and hung up.

I havnt had the car in 10months and am that ****ing excited and they are ****ing me around, what can I do?

Sorry for the rant I am pissed off!

    • 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/
