"what colour blue are you going again? is it like huddys blue?"

your point would be correct if

1. Huddy was able to get me any other colour paint other than his blue

2. for the same price as he could get blue for me (4lt for $100)

sorry but I could see a point in getting another colour and spending an extra $500

phat mirror's never been a real fan of that style but your set look the best suited Ive seen

I gotta say dude, that is one hell nice cef hey. Lot of work gone in to it for sure. Cant wait to see some nice pics done when you have it all done. Good work.

coz theyre not cheap copy ones which are point ends... and some weird shape which are chunky with very long stalks

did you use s13 or r32?

spot-on dude... glad to see you actually know the difference... yeah the cheap ones use black metal of some kind and plastic mounting points. and the FK mirrors use all spun aluminum.

actually Final Konexion sells them for universal application so just make your own mounting plate and your good to go... you can use CF, Graphite, etc. or like i just used tinted acrylic cause its cheap you can get it in just about any color and i think the best choice. cause i couldnt find any CF stock around for a reasonable price.

    • 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/
