Ok thanks....

is there lots of racers around that area or known for accidents or something

thanks

Dude... easy with the "small town" questions k?... you'd think Japan was just one main street with a population of 684! :rofl:

I can't read the first kanji importantly I don't think I know it...but the second kanji is Minami (south), definitely not a prefecture plate...some small town and how many small town are there in Japan with Minami!

Why don't you just ask the importer?

it's not a prefectural plate - it's most likely a city - could be 'sounan', but that's just a guess from the kanji. Kanagawa ken maybe? (adjacent (west) to tokyo)
Not bad Daioni... it's "Shonan" in Kanagawa prefecture! It's the local area around the towns shown in the map below:

here are mine ;)

With the addition of another son to my family, I was tempted to sell the Skyline and get a Stagea. After much deliberation, I opted to keep the car and get a modded Accord Wagon as a family car...

and then, the wife gets around in a Nissan Cube

That's a good looking Accord...what year is it?

nice one dave - first time I've seen an accord wagon that didn't have chrome wheels and some sort of neon attachment :)

I just wandered outside and took a couple of pics of the FD, to make up for the crap one I posted earlier:

    • 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.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
    • Yeah, I guess its pretty easy to get to if this doesn't work. Just wait till next oil change and pull it out. I am going to have to do the oil pan gasket soon and thought I'd just replace it while I was there.  Thanks
    • All that matters is you're safe and you were able to type that post. Hopefully heaps of parts you can recover for the next shell.
