Last night kababs car decided to not let him back into it, so the alarm went off and we spent sometime trying to figure out how to start the thing to no avail.

So we decided to quickly go up the road to get his other key and as we pulled out of the car park in chatswood the police where coasting up and they promptly hit the disco lights and pulled me over.

I started to get out of the car but he asked I stay put, so I did and wound down the window.

The officer came up and asked whats going on, babs explained that his car was being temprimental and then I enquired if someone has reported it. He said they had gotten a call, he asked for my license and bab's number plate and then let us go. (after we both thanked him for his time and for doing this, he said that these cars are a bit of a target)

Its just nice to hear a positive police story every now and then.

well response time is hard to judge because we dont know who called up. some people left the car park but paused for a bit at the entrance, they could have been the ones who called up. If thats the case then I would suggest 10 minutes would be close to the mark.

(PS. Donnie darko was brilliant, loved it and if you know where to get the dvd let me know)

gotta say, 10 min is pretty good. can we borrow some of your cops down south way:)

yeah Donnie was quiet the little masterpiece. unfortunately the DVD doesn't come out 'till June or thereabouts. an ex-rental copy on eBay went for $41 the other day. if you like your movies and can appreciate good work, watch "Amelie". I thought it was an exceptional movie. word of warning though. it's in French with english subtitles (better for it imo)

yeah the cops were cool. It's a worry though that certain suburbs have so much interference that RF stuff just stops working (car alarms, WLAN etc). Makes you want to go out wearing a lead-lined hector...

      Shoota's R33 GT-R RB30/26

      @soviet_merlin Thanks mate!  Nothing too major but will hold me up for a while. I've got lymphomas to get taken off the back of my neck and the middle of my spine which always conjures scary thoughts!  It sounds worse than it is. Yeah great, conjuring more rabbit hole deepening , just what I need! 🤣

      I'd argue the F50 kit I got is very good value. For ~2k I got the calipers (refurbed condition), adapters, pads, brake lines, rotors, and top hats. I think you'd be pretty hard to get Evo/GTR/350z brembos + the additional hardware for similar money. Used market for a pair of front calipers alone I've seen tend to run anywhere from $1500-2000 depending on condition.    That said, something like a GTR or 350z brembo is a lot easier to adapt to the Silvia.

      Is there a significant price difference between the Evo/gtr/350z brembos vs the F50? Looks amazing.

      R33 fuel setup

      I was actually being a tightarse at the time LOL... My OCD is tickling me into running a 2nd 8AN Teflon hose all the way down and removing the 2x OEM hardlines. My other side of my brain is telling me to run 2x hardlines front to back (also acts as a fuel cooler, so win win).

      As I mentioned in an earlier post, I had some trouble with the Silvia's brakes dragging back in 2023. I managed to sort it out then, but the same problem came back to bite me late last year. Just take a look at the picture – I had a feeling the handbrake was acting up again, and I was right. Anyway, I'd been wanting to upgrade to bigger brakes for a while. Not that the Silvia's brakes were bad, but it was more of a "want" than a "need", you know? It was funny, though – at the time, I couldn't find any Evo Brembos, 350Z Brembos, or GTR Brembos for a decent price (of course, tons of them popped up online after I already bought my kit!). I ended up going with an F50 Brembo kit, which came with adapters, brake lines, 330mm rotors, and top hats. The F50 Brembo caliper was used in a few other cars too, like the FPV. I also decided this was the perfect opportunity to ditch the Silvia's ridiculous rear brakes and that awful handbrake (some of you were definitely right about that!). I picked up some R33 calipers and all the necessary bits – rear drums, backing plates, and new hardware to refurbish the calipers. Of course, it wouldn't be a project without a few hiccups. Turns out the brake master cylinder was playing up and basically (to put it simply) keeping the brakes engaged. I had it overhauled, and after some adjustments, everything was working again. The whole process took a while, as you can imagine. To top it off, the front right wheel bearings were shot and needed replacing too. This is a rare occasion where I'm posting an update while it's all still fresh! These pictures were taken just this afternoon.
