I've been toying with the idea of GT stripes on my Perl white v35.

What do people think - Rad or Ridiculous?

The wife reckons it makes the car look old, but really like it!

which look ridiclous even on the cars they are made for..

As for your idea..  wouldn't want them on my car, but I wouldn't say I 'hate' them either..

You're creative...

Why not photoshop some stripes on your car pics here and we can see?

Stripes are fashionable. Sometimes the fashion is in: sometimes it's out.

Your wife seems to be able to recall when they were in, a long long time ago... > then went out.

They can look great on any car if you do it right..

Thing is, can you do it right??

I think your designs look suite good, but GT stripes go over the bonnet...they will never go out of fashion as such, they are as iconic as mag wheels and bonnet scoops..but it takes talent to make em look good

Your pics look fairly good, but yeah GT stripes go over the bonnet...they will never go out of fashion as such, they There as iconic as mag wheels and bonnet scoops..but it takes talent to make em look good

    • 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
