Just finished painting my rocker covers and re-doing my coilpack cover.

When i first got my car i painted my coilpack cover dark blue (it was meant to look anodized).

I took off my rocker cover to get them chromed, the realized how much that would cost.

Went down to repco and bought some paint and though F it, i'll do it myself.

So after a couple hours of sanding, a few coats of paint, and copious amounts of clear, i am ver happy i chose not to chrome them.

Pics don't do it justice.

1st pic - When i first sprayed my coil pack cover

3rd pic - re-sprayed coilpack cover

*Notice the difference in colour of the coilpack cover

looks good paul - cam covers look std only better haha

blue is definately better than the 2nd pic

is that the metal cast blue? post back if you encounter any discolouration issues with it if it is, i've used the red on a mates RB20 and it went orange after a few months ;)

so i went and redid them in powdercoat

that looks really good man...

oh, and mine look heaps different to standard...

mainly coz of the clear coat... looks like plastic instead of metal.

i haven't ever had a problem with it before... so i really hope i don't now that you've said it...

im used to seeing cam covers in sandblasted form lol - instead of that little bit of goldish coating they have from the factory

nothing shows off those flakes and the colour than looking at it in person.

yeah might be a problem with the red and not the blue

    • 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/  
    • 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.
