----------------------------------------------------------------------

Guitar was a present, but i had been looking around for an acoustic for a fair while, and wanted something with a small neck and body, unfortunately this beautiful guitar isn't either of those. Fairly standard neck, and body. I was look at the OM/000 sized Martins. I've played it for about 4-5days. So prob about 8-10 hours all up? It's brand spankers, no marks, ding, scratches, nothing. Just been sitting in my room, in it's Taylor hardshell case. Guitar also comes with..

- Guitar lead

- Video CD's (explaning Taylors Expression System, and an interview with some

Taylor dude)

- Various newsletters, leaflets, and Taylor guitar pick.

Australia RRP for this thing seems to be around $3,500 to $3,700. But being a high end guitar, not a lot of places stock them, so they are relatively hard to come by. So my price? :D Well considering i have played it for a few days, i'll make it a nice even...

$3000

Anyone in Melbourne or near me (Sandringham, Melbourne) is more than welcome to come and have a play, it really is a beautiful guitar, and has a great, big and bright sound. The tone is awesome and being a solid top guitar, these only sound better the more they are played. This guitar is great for recording, but prob better for live stuff dues to it's bigger, brighter sound compared to say a woodier Martin.

Will drop off in person to anyone who wants to buy from Melbourne.

cheers everyone,

P.S. If anyone wants to have try before buying, give us a buzz, 0402 853 813. More than welcome.

PRICE DROP!!!! Now super low of

$2800 - We are NEARLY $1000 off the RRP, just because i've played it for a few days!

as i said before, anyone is welcome to come around and have a play of the guitar. And as an extra bonus, i'll get the guitar re-strung with the same strings as it came from the factory. So that's....

$200 price drop AND a re-string with factory strings for whoever buys it! BARGAIN!!

bump! $2500 and that's it. Still including the free restring. Guitar hasn't been played in looong time now. John Mayer has a signature Fender Strat out now, so i need money to buy that :)

anyone interested? $2500 really is a stupid price for this guitar...

      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/
