Gho5t, thanks for that link, I was following it on yahoo auction.

Can anyone put me in contact with someone that has an N1 with the factory non-AC equipment still installed?

Post a larger and more clear pic...

But from what I think, it's either timing belt or gearbox oil...

Going to look at a KH2 (Gunmetal)1993 V spec this afternoon

It's got an R33 engine apparently but comes with the original engine...

Looks mostly original beside wheels but I think the original wheels come with it

120,000 odd kms

Ha not yet Anthony!

Bob, it did not go well. Car had been resprayed, in totally the wrong colour! The body was straight but it would need to be painted again, properly.

Overall in pretty poor condition and would of required waaay to much work to get back to a state I'd be remotely happy with.

Let me know if you guys come across any V specs or V spec II

But I am thinking it be the case of buying from Japan...

Did the V spec II come in KH2 colour??

Firstly, yes...... KH2 was available in V-Spec 2.

They do command a premium but like most R32's finding a good one takes time.

I'm just spending an insane amount of money on mine to get it right.

I'm past the point of no return and just couldn't be bothered starting all over again finding another. I know how hard it is.

I'll post up pics once completed, hopefully this week but in a nutshell, all rust areas will be repaired including the driver side rear quarter panel and sill etc.

The entire RHS will be painted as is the front bar.

Money pit but nearly there!

Bob.

out of curiosity Bob who is repairing / restoring your car?

My guy who I have been using for 7 years recently picked up AAMI and has become a preferred repairer and simply can't do private work at the moment.

I then asked around and was recommended a BMW preferred repairer who's credentials are excellent.

Unfortunately he is a fair bit dearer than my previous guy but I think will do a better job.

I've always struggled withmy previous guy's colour matching........... But as the old cliche goes, you get what you pay for.

Once I collect the car, I'll post up his details if I think he deserves it.

please do. Am keen to see the results

I think it's good value and if I was in the market I'd probably jump on it.

The only thing is to make sure it's a genuine V-Spec 2.

It doesn't take much to add wheels and Brembo brakes.

The spare wheel is yellow and I always thought the V-Specs got the larger black space saver to fit over the bigger brakes, I know mine has.

Yet, both my ADM's have the smaller yellow spares.

The blue ID plate on the fire wall will confirm its legitimacy.

Cheers,

Bob.

    • 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/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.
