Is it just me or does carbon fibre in general look to me look cheap? If it was fully chrome then I would be impressed, but that carbon fibre look doesn't grab me. Seems very expensive for what u get. I saw on another site you can get like the glovebox and centre console in carbon fibre look -- all up it was a couple of grand for the full set.

Well I've sorta gotten used to the idea that any sort of frill for the Skyline is expensive.

The problem is that my car has some severe (IMO) scratches on the original mouldings. I don't really wish to spend a fortune fixing it and have it still look like the boring old OEM shit. So why not make it carbon? Chrome is ok but it'll look like shit pretty soon.

True...or spend the money on some good mods? :D I think if you spend some time prepping back your old one and applying a few coats of paint you might get a good result and surprise yourself. If mine gets bad that is what i shall do.

I really don't feel like much more engine modding in my car... I don't think I need *too* much more power.

The problem is that you see and feel the interior *every day* so the imperfections tend to irritate me a bit.

$450 is not too bad a price to pay I would suppose.

      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/
