yeah they have alot of side ventilation, hard to see in pics.

I take it the fit on yours was nearly as good as the ones I got then, I was kinda disappointed

Still havnt fitted them as I am not sure I can get a fit I will be happy with,

will give it a serious go on this break coz they do look hot

just fit shitty

looks good man but all the covers need to be carbon :P

LTHLRB - turbo is a 3540

URAS - fake stick on aye?

thats interesting considering you have no idea who did it or how it was done

its done by modicoat and its not stuck on its a film that its applied by dipping and then clear coated with 2K clear

it will not go yellow like real carbon it will not de-laminate like real carbon and it will fit 100% first time every time

ive fitted real carbon covers to a number of different cars and they all fit like shit

but it is fake (its a film).... thats the point. I dont even like the look of the real ones on our car but that fake looking stuff with skew-wiff lines going through it looks even worse.

as for yellowing decent stuff will last longer than most will ever keep thier cars... the carbon parts on my race bike (ex 1999 WSB) lasted the 6 years before i sold it and they are still on there (new owner) as good as new.....

EDIT: sorry if you took offence i did not know it was your bay.... next time i will bite my tongue. If it helps i like the rest of the bay:)

regardless fake or not, i think it looks hot

and ive played with carbon before and i personally couldnt tell, not everyone is an expert.

but it is fake (its a film).... thats the point. I dont even really like the look of the real ones on our car but that fake looking stuff with skew-wiff lines going through it, then way to much clear over the top looks real average.. that technique has been round for ages....

Wooow. What kind of attitude is that.

Funny thing is you're the one who started this thread with a set of fake carbon centre covers. If you think those fibreglass-covered-with-carbon are the real deal then you need to see real carbon ones (HKS Kansai for example).

    • 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
