Okay I currently own a burgendy r33 skyline looking really shabby so time for fresh paint, Now here's the prob there are so many burgendy r33 the cost for a complete colour change is out of budget so the options of thought of are same colour (boring)

same colour with a blue pearl, or more of a blood red (risk of looking bad when opening doors). The car will be getting a full body kit stealth lip wide front gaurds rolled rears, and possible black roof james vahomis style(something different).

So yeah your opinons are more than welcome

Find out about a flow coat. Heavy buff, then redo the gloss. Brightens up the factory colour. Was covered in topic in the general section of the forums, something tittled "cheap respray" or something along those lines.

easy fix, just get your spray painter, to respray with pearl or slightly darker or brighter, then just get someone who knows how to use an airbrush to finish around the doors, boot, bonnet, even engine bay without taking the motor out, ive done it many times, save a lot of money and still looks brilliant

    • 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/
