Just curious if anyone would be interested in my laptop.

It's just over a year old, 1.3ghz Centrino system, built in wifi (802.11b), 60gb hdd, 256mb ram, cd burner, dvdrom, 14.1" screen.

Comes with a specifically made genuine Sony Vaio case, aibo plush dog (which also acts as an lcd screen cleaner).

Machine runs both Linux and WinXP perfectly.

Looking for $3,000 (damn Skylines and always wanting to go faster!!)

Jason.

I don't really want to rain on you here uneekwahn. But I can get a brand new sony for $2300 - $2400 approx off a bloke in America. My brother bought a HP off him for $1600.

ps:..i don't know him personally, or get anything if someone buys off him. Just thought you guys should know about him.

Heres one of his items on ebay for the UK market, but he will do the same deal for Australia.

So you may want to think about your price. Unfortunately PC prices drop quicker than car prices. If you do sell it , then keep this bloke in mind when you are looking for a new one. He was very easy to deal with. My brother got his in 6 working days.

good luck

Yeah, I understand you can get other sony laptops cheaper, but one, you are getting those from another country, you're not always sure you won't have to pay duty, or you'll even get the product, and this is actually Sony's flagship Vaio.

No raining on my parade :D

If I sell it, I sell it, if I don't, its no fuss, just wanting to know if there is a market for it, thats all :P

Yep, we all hate the old tax squeeze, but this bloke gets around it. Not sure I can say it here though.

When my brother bought his HP, he even got a world wide HP warrenty.

Hope you sell yours though mate. And when you need to get another, might want to add him to your favourites for refference. He is hard to find. I found him by fluke.

Throw yours on ebay, so many often pay more for items at auctions. Worth a shot.

Good luck

    • 12+ months passed so they have no obligation to do a warranty claim. It leaked from the rear circuit. Front circuit was fine, but I tried many times to bench-bleed and in-car bleed (wasted 1L of Penrite racing brake fluid) to no avail. Threw my old BM50 or whatever the standard R32 GT-R BMC is, brakes went back to normal. So from my very limited anecdotal experience, I cannot recommend HFM, even though a lot of their products looks good. Just my experience (I have a genuine Nissan BM57 in a box waiting to be installed now).
    • 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/
