just fitted mine took a while to get the rubber piece in the gear stick boot but just be patientk guys the leather will stretch with the heat of your hands.

looks very nice now Thanks pablo101

umm, fitted my gear boot fine, but the frame in the handbrake boot is flat - not the same as the original one which is bent???

Yep I had troubles with the hand brake boot, the original being convex at the ends. It ended up not fitting perfect but no one would be able to tell the difference just looking at it.

The gear boot had the arrangement of holes incorrectly punched in it for me, and one of the holes was half stitched over, easy to fix.

In the end they look soo.. much better, just like a new car, and real leather to boot.

Thanks for the gear pablo101

can anyone say how these boots compare to the $95 boots available on ebay from gaiter?

if they're better/equal/only a little bit worse i'm in.

never seen the ebay ones but these are very quality

Ill take some pics of the ebay Mr Gaiter ones, from the above pics though these group buy ones look to be better quality then the mr gaiter ones but you get to choose the colours with the mr gaiter ones. The Mr Gaiter ones are still real leather though and great quality.

shitty cam phone pics, they are real leather, delivery was within a week which is pretty good considering public holidays and sent from britain :)

anyway reason i was in here in the first place is i was wondering how you get the handbrake covers in? Do i just push it till the frame fits in the hole or do i have to remove some of the interior :X

na just push it in till its fits slide end towards arm rest the other end

it looks like you didnt take the rubber insert bit out of the gearstick boot and put it in the new one, i may be wrong though?

yea i left it in the old one, completly forgot about it :) . Does it serve a purpose?

Also putting in the handbrake cover, found bending the wire frame to the same shape as the original one made it fit a lot more flush

    • 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.   
    • 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
