i just did our 26 all products from local autobarn;

K&H etch primer

VHT engine enamel colour of choice

VHT engine enamel clear

VHT is the shizzle as it actually cures with heat and is vurtually indestructable if done properly.

thanks for that mate. do you have pics of how it came out?

look for a product called metal cast by dupicolor.........they have that red and is heat proof and give a metalic finish.

2 step system spray the silver and then the red, look sweet.

did my brakes and engine parts in it.

Hasn't chipped or worn off yet!

did you oven bake your painted items?

i had VHT on the valley cover of my rb25 - was painted and car was run and used for about 4 weeks, then when it came in contact with overpsrayed Carbie cleaner it came off on those spots ..

seems like running temps aren't good enough to cure them, well to me anyway

if you can wait a few days, the camera is on its way back from WA :) its yellow too :(

does any one know if anyone did a DIY or a writeup of pulling this apart and spraying it?

I have read threads in the past and think i will have a go soon but wondering if anyone has any links ... thanking you

    • 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.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
    • Yeah, I guess its pretty easy to get to if this doesn't work. Just wait till next oil change and pull it out. I am going to have to do the oil pan gasket soon and thought I'd just replace it while I was there.  Thanks
    • All that matters is you're safe and you were able to type that post. Hopefully heaps of parts you can recover for the next shell.
