Haha its a purely non sexual relationship, trust me.

Yeah mate, its the factory colour and still original paint believe it or not. The LM only came in this colour.

KPCresta it is a good feeling owning something quite rare and in this condition also being one of only 14 vspecs. Id be interested to know numbers of them in the country and around the world too cause i imagine in 18 years a few have been laid to rest.

defari, there isn't any difference mechanically, just the colour which is exclusive to the LM, the rear pillar decals which I'll post a pic of, bonnet lip, front bar cooling ducts. Carbon fibre rear spoiler blade and I've noticed the engine bay is the same finish as the exterior whereas I've noticed with all my other skylines had matt finish engine bays (no clearcoat finish )

Was told about the 14 v-spec numbers by previous owner and he had done quite a bit of research on the LM. If also sent me a copy of the original price options from Nissan and yes, v-spec was an option so there were base models too. I have also read it on other forums. Will try find the info again and I'll post a pic of the pricing sheet he sent me

    • 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/
