I've been so busy lately, but I've finally done my gear boot surround :thumbsup:

After I finished that, got a little bored and decided to redo my climate control, so the red and blue bits are visible.

Here's my gear boot surround and my new and improved climate control:

Gear boot looks effin great though! Cant wait!

Do you mean the blue and red bit on the climate control?

Well I've spent long enough with it, to have taken out the blue and red bits, then tucked the vinyl into the holes and shoved the bits back in lol, so it should stay :thumbsup:

He's already done the 3-gauge holder!

I have, but it's not perfect enough for me to do it for other people :P

I keep practising on mine until I can get it perfect, then post some pics up :)

I've porobably wrapped each piece of my interior 2-3 times already lol

Great job Charles!

Nice and neat.

By this stage I expect to see your whole car wrapped in Carbon Fibre wrap. :(

lol don't be surprised if you rock up to a meet one day and my whole car is CF, this shit is addictive :P

Once I finish a piece, I just crave for another and start to shake if I don't hahah

I'm so glad you redid it to display the red/blue bits - it was really bugging me and something I was gonna make sure I did.

Did you end up snapping the red/blue bits out and then re-gluing them back in after wrapping and cutting, or just cutting around the edges with a shaft craft knife?

I had to snap the plastic bits that holds it together at the back, but the thing is, I didn't need to glue to back on, as I've said, I folded the vinyl into the holes where the blue and red bits goes, so by forcing them back in, it's a nice tight fit, but just to be safe, I just stuck a off cut piece of CF to hold it there :)

Well if you can get 4 other friends of yours to send down all your B pillars, then I'll do them for $30 per pair for yous :)

By then, postage might only be $2-3 each :)

      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?

      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/
