I was told each dealer in Adelaide area has been allocated one car each and will keep them as demo's for 12 months. I asked about putting my name down for a EX demo but no luck. Ill be driving the GTS auto from one dealer then going to another dealer with the car and swapping to drive the manual.

I think he was watching to see if the pointy end of your key was getting close to the paintwork !

Yeah, he was an older professional looking kind of person... looking nervously at his iPhone.

I really was hoping he'd get out of his car so I could ask him questions about the car (and maybe look inside)

And JZP, you're a younger looking non-professional person circumnavigating his car in baggy pants that could've concealed a weapon - lol?

Hah!, I'm over 40...and dress pretty conservatively I think it was cos it was so dark and I sorta followed him a bit.... hmmm, don't blame the guy now!!

meh.. 200hp.. couldnt be bothered driving one,..

My Datsun 1600 had maybe 90hp. It's still to this day the most fun, and fastest car aside from in a straight line, I've ever driven.

    • 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/
