i heard that if you buy the paint and take it to the ECU paint shop they will paint you're car for free as practice.

might be the same deal for MITA just look into it.

obviously you take the risk of it not being a pro finish but they shouldnt be to bad.

just an idea?

Well JD

After arranging to have bonnet, mirrors and rear wing painted, sent pics etc, all quoted up

Drive nearly one hour (and gf drives to pick me up) had to be up early to get the car to him when he wanted it

He then says "dents look bigger than pics, is it fibreglass?" (I sent pics with tape measure and told him its factory aluminium)... Alarm bells

Then "I only quoted to tape up and paint part of mirror, not whole mirror"

Then "well I can't do wing, that will take too long"

This was all after photos, descriptions and a quote (said he needed 2 days to do the work) - admittedly I had to wait a few weeks to get the car in (cos he was busy) - but all the detail was provided

Anyone else had any experiences with this guy they'd like to share?

      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/
