got my car today (also arrived at brisbane on the same boat as the car above ;) Neil, I didn't realise it was you who bought that car... such a nice car... tuff tuff tuff). Nothing stolen, nothing broken. The JDM tyte cup holder in my car had unfortunately wrenched my centre vent out, but you get that.

I received my 15 year import on Wednesday. It isn't a Nissan, however, it is quite rare. It has low k's and is 99.9% stock down to the OEM muffler. Some pics of it straight off the docks and onto a hoist:

I got my GTR last week. Very keen to take it for a drive but the brakes need a bleed first.

WEHEY! IT'S THE CARBON BEAST!!

I wondered if this thing was going to end up in Australia. So close to buying it but for the hassle of getting it complied with carbon doors. Hope you can find the "right" engineer.

Those doors must be worth a mint. Do the latches, hinges and windows operate ok?

You must be doing side flips being unable to go for a fang in it, but it's the weekend now so get under there and get crappy brake fluid everywhere.

If there's a weighbridge anywhere nearby I'd love to know how much bulk it saves.

lol neil my brakes don't work either... I'm gonna start bleeding the brakes in a few hours. Did your car come plastered with big signs that said "warning footbrake not working" etc?

I know it is not fresh FROM japan but it will be soon, and i will post the pics up then.

Oh and yes if anyone has spotted there is one modification, there is a sticker on the right side rear bumper!

I know it's not a nissan, I would have LOVED a GTR but couldn't afford decent 34 :wave: So evo it is.

Here's my pictures I recently got... gets shipped on the 13th and hopefully arrives on the 27th :P

Any idea how long it takes from arrival on the docks to being ready to pick up? (steam cleaning etc)

      R32 Gtst - Track Car

      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

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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/
