Hey All,

I have recently bought an R32 GTR from interstate and am trying to get it registered in TAS.

The car has adjustable control arms / coilovers and they are saying that they don't meet the national standards they check the cars off with now.

Apparently, if I can provide evidence that Nissan or Nismo offered adjustables as an after-market upgrade, I don't need to do anything & they are ok.

If I cant find something that proves this I have to either put standard set up back in, or get a modification plate. I have been advised in Tas that could take 2 months (from the guy at transport who approves them!). Really dont wanna wait that long :-/

Does anyone know if it was ever offered as an upgrade by Nissan/Nismo? & If so, how can I prove it?

Any help any of you can provide would be awesome!

Different states have different requirements.

No way in Sa will coilovers get through an inspection.

Buy some stock gear - Email some wreckers around AUS and see if they will freight it to you, I'm sure they would.

Other than that, try posting in location specific boards and see if anyone in your area has some stock bits you can borrow for a case of beer.

      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/
