I still say try topstage of ns.com. I dont see why he wouldnt be able to replicate it.

It's not possible to make a *decent* mould out of an item that isn't hard.

The factory lip is made of a rubber like material and can not be duplicated 100%. Thus leaving room for error and when you're playing around with expensive gear like carbon fibre you just can't have this.

I was actually behind this group buy (with the obvious help of dezz) but it's just not happening.

The sample has been sent off to the carbon fibre factory in Taiwan but unfortunately it can not proceed.

Sorry guys, I wish there was something we could do but we can't. I was unaware of the moulding process until after this EOI for a group buy was organised. I personally didn't think it would have been a problem. :P

hey man, it's just the technique that grows and experience made us better. so are theese guys wanna do this or not?

forget to mention, that white carbon thing, it isn't carbon, it's DYED FIBERGLASS (silver) .

we have now BLue (CF+kevlar) , Green (CF+kevlar), Yellow (CF+kevlar), Silver (texalium) or even colour matched cf combo.

these coloured stuff are new, and the colour matching stuff are only we can do them :thumbsup:

Freddy, any chance of a lower lip (the one under the bumper) in carbon, but the same as standard. ie, same design just carbon fibre?

The lips are still available brand new from Nissan.

We ordered a brand new one for this group buy but have sent it to the factory we are working with in Taiwan.

Thus don't have access to it at the moment :D

      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

      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/
