Just trying to gauge numbers of Skyline owners on the Sunshine Coast that may be interested in helping me out for my wedding in January. I am preferably looking for white Skylines, but at this point silver or other lighter coloured cars (probably not black :) ) would also be ok - the wedding is going to be a very non-traditional summer wedding, and will feature plenty of colour, so if you own a well presented Skyline and are interested, please let me know.

Thanks!!

I really think the idea of Skylines as wedding cars is really ghey and tacky.

Go and hire 3 identical white cars, they don't have to be Limo's BMW's or Merc's.

I reckon 3 white VY Berlina's would be nicer than Skylines as wedding cars.

What does you missus think about climbing in and out of the back of a coupe in her wedding dress?

She's the one that suggested asking fellow Skyliners - whether or not she has properly thought through getting in and out, I have no idea! :)

Obviously if we could find someone with a 4-door, that would be optimal... :D

Depends on the location and the exact date, but I could prolly help out.

Thanks for all offers so far!

The date will be 14th January (Saturday) for an afternoon wedding (around 2-3pm... ish) - I'll tally up the offers a little closer to the date and give everyone the full details then.

Thanks again everyone! ;)

Oh and Daniel, I love black Skylines - just not for a wedding... maybe for my funeral... not in the near future though - touch wood! :P

OK, we are just over a week away from the big day (aaaarrgh! :nyaanyaa:) - can I just get a more definite show of hands as to who is willing and able to help me out on Saturday 14th January with my wedding.

I can PM the details (including what's in it for you :blink: ) to those interested in providing their cars for the day.

Thanks everyone!!

    • 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/
