Whats up fella's?

The leather boots around the gear shifter and handbrake lever, what can be used?

The sticky said R32 ones can be used with "some modifying" but that doesnt sound too convincing.

POST PICS OF WHAT YOU'VE FITTED

ALSO

hit up www.redlinegoods.com

Hand crafted Italian leather, ohhh yeeeah....so there is no listing for A31 Cefiro, but I can send mine in as a sacrafice so they can be made, then you lot can get some as well, in whatever color/style/stitching etc you want.

Basically, I want to know how many people would be interested in purchasing if I do this....if not enough people are in I won't bother, but if I get enough interest I'll give mine up to get them made up.

I'm not trying to advertise, but I have purchased from these guys before and I cannot stress enough how good the quality is. It's a tad pricey, and shipping takes 10 days, but their stuff is seriously the bee's knee's...none of that eBay vinyl shit.

I highly doubt I'll get a group buy price. Since everyone who buys can choose which type of leather, which color, which stitching style + color, etc, each one will likely be different and so a group buy is out of the picture.

If you buy a gear shift AND handbrake boot, you get a 35% discount.

Around $65 + shipping (which is an A4 envelope). Thats about what you pay on eBay for China vinyl which is about 1/5th what this is (I'm talking from experience here).

There's a big showcase thread, HERE

Shows alot of examples of different materials and shit.

Looking at all the pictures certainly changed my mind.

Just had a look at their website.

If you haven't already emailed them Nic, I will email them today and send my boots in. Wouldn't mind getting a new one for the V35 too.

I have emailed them ages ago but havent organised an address to send them to or anything.

You've gotta send them in and pay a deposit, upon receiving them back and emailing back insallation instructions they refund you - free stuff if they use your boots to setup it up.

If you send yours in, just note on the install, boots are same for all manual models, and identical to C33 Laurel.

    • 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/
