had a drive of a couple of cars we installed the copies of my kit on... and they're not exactly what you'd call streetable. at the end of the day if I put the kit on my car I wouldn't be able to thrash it around like I do now, and I'd hate to be forced to baby it around for fear of ruining it.

Probably OK for a show car that'll sit n look pretty or a drift car with a workshop/sponsor backing that can afford to throw it around... but for me the impracticality kinda won in the end.

ugh... we sell the copies of the kit for $3500, fitting and painting really depends on how much prep work you want done... if its a matter of doing it ghetto (bog and rivets) then it'd be cheap... but the way we do it is to take the panel back to metal to allow the fibreglass to bond better, then prep and paint.

here's one we're doing atm:

the owner originally went to some bodyshop that did a really shocking job of it... when we got it there were more ripples on that kit than a pond on a rainy afternoon... so a lot of time was spent getting it smooth and ready for paint. Its a little different in that its getting an R34 front... but he's using the R32 wide guards, rad support and front bumper... which looks a little wierd as the R34's front is usually a lot higher than an R32... but hey, what the customer wants, the customer gets.

sure... the black one's finished, and sporting 10" wide 18" gold VS-XX's. The pics are at the workshop, so I'll post some pics up when I'm there next. It should be at autosmellon as its being built up as a show car.

oh and the kit in the pics is now sold :thanks: keep thinking I should've just put it on my car :domokun:

we do em at the workshop using the original lever assembly, relocated, so you can still release the fuel flap from inside the car. some people go ghetto n leave it off, and others leave the original one on with a step in from the wider guard to show that its a widebody.

      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/
