Some interesting cars in there. It's a shame they didn't take more photos or write a more detailed article, I'd love to see what else they have tucked away in the warehouse.

Need a hi-res of this pic!

Kinda cool with Carlos Ghosn's personal 350Z with the Chassis Number 000001.

I am sure the first of every Nissan car made would be in there.

Would love a line up of the first GTR's in a row.

^^ NICE!

Yeah it's a M-Spec Nur and probably one of the first.

Looks like there are quiet a few concept cars or cars that were released for a limited time only...

That there looks like an R380-II

If you do a bit of a search around the site you'll find heaps of history on the old Datsun race cars of the 60's and 70's, back when Nissan were serious about motorsport.

I was about to link that site. Guy who made it really knows his cars, I love his Cedric.

On a slight tangent, my favorite Datsun of the 60's would have to be the Silvia's though. Such a nice looking car.

      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/
