thanks for the offer bass, we have someone there already... by the way your mates initials aren't A.K ???

Edit: Bass, get your mate to hook you up with one of those drives days (if he hasn't already) out coldstream way.. trust me you'll have an absolute ball :burnout:

And he knows that if I get behind the wheel of a Porsche that all hell would break loose, so I haven't had the offer yet.

Besides, I can't afford to sign on that line that says "You break, You Pay"

Wanna sponser me??

mesh if you really want an R34 you can have mine. Pristine condition. Never raced. :P

Anyways....

I have to say of all the cars spoken about the ones I give the most credence to is the Porsche GT3. I was never that much of a Porsche fan cause I'd taken both a Boxster S and a Carrera 4 for a spin and thought they were nothing special. I would never consider buying one of these cars.

Then this year I did the Dutton Rally. There was a GT2 and some 996 turbo's that kicked some ass in places - but the GT3's were just the most alround amazing packages considering they are like that straight out of the box.

It's now number 1 on my list of desired cars because you could have a lot of fun with one - not just keep it in the garage.

I dunno about that Snowman....

I've been in a GT2 and GT3 and I reckon that GT2 blitzes the GT3.

But that was from a grunt point of view only.

There's something about a G-Force induced grin that I just can't go by....

Yeah as I said take them both around phillip island or say over an 800m sprint and the GT2 would just blow you away.

But take them both for a run through the Reefton Spur or up The Great Alpine Road and see who wins. My point was that under certain circumstances the GT2 would just kill all but the GT3 would be awesome for everything.

snowwy & bass, the GT2 is twice as much as a GT3? right? Regardless, whilst you two sit there biyatching over the GT2 & GT3, I'll be pondering your a$$'s with a GT.. *cough* carrera GT That is.

EDIT: That's if money is no object ofcourse, and we are just talking about a wishlist.

Yeah but you've got to remember, the CSL comes standard with Semi Comp Rubber.

The GT3 does not. They were testing standard cars against each other.

Slap some Semi Comps on the GT3 and watch it drive off.

im just not really a porsche fan i guess.

i see the things everyday because the service centre at para fill all the cars up with fuel at my servo

i dont mind some of the turbos but thats about it and the cayenne is ok too.

Saw a black SL600 convertable with 19inch chrome deep dish rims on my lunch break in hawthorn while i was out having a perve at all the woman in the nice weather today. The guy driving it looked early to mid 30's. If thats an old mans car, i want to be an old man now!!!

    • 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.
