The first I heard of this was from office colleagues. I brushed it off and didn't really think about it.

The second and third time were from reporters from SMH and Daily Telegraph, who informed me of the situation and the rego plate of the car...

Ripped in half in a 50 zone.

Jesus H. Christ.

I am not a Skyline owner, but i do own a pulsar gti-r, and all us guys for the gti-r forum send our condolences to there families and friends.

No matter what they were doing or how stupid they might have been driving, someone has lost the sons and daughters. And at the worst time of the year, comming upto Xmas. This is a wakeup to remind us that there is a time and place.

Again our sympathys to those involved.

More news apparently is being aired on central coast radio.

It seems the owner of the car has not been contactable and is overseas and therefore may not know whats gone on. This also indicates that his son may have taken the car without prior knowledge or permission from his father.

;)

    • 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.
