Which sick twisted mother fu**er would let it be raining???????

Just got up, heard a noise outside....rain!

I've just checked the forecast www.bom.com.au and it should be ok, Sydney will be fine just with the chance of a late shower.

I'm not to keen to ride in the rain but the chances are minimal so I'll see you there.

Great, Rach has cancelled which means Cassi can't go and that was a main reason for me going (not that it's Cassi's fault) I've just checked and my bike is 2 days out of rego.

I'm not to worried about the rego but I'm pissed off now so f**k it I'm not going.

Overall was a good day except for the sandblasting we got! Was really awesome to see the drifting live instead of on TV.

Also a massive thanks to Sinista for the coolant on the way home. No one knows how long i would have been stuck on the side of the hume hwy if he didn't have that! :)

Yeah that wind was ridicules, sweet drifting tho and them autosalon cars were crazy. Glad i had the video camera.

Drifting was great, Autosalon cars looked shmik! Dirt cyclones I can live without. Met some good peeps and the turnout was good for the cruise up.

One detractor was the front bar to rear clash I heard about from our guys approaching the entry gates. I feel for you guys. I'd like offer help if any one knows em.

Saw the S14 that copped the damage to the front when Psymon, Myself and some other bloke got there since we parked a row up from it. Doesn't look real good. Certainly feel for the owner, I used to see that car every day when I worked in belco and it was pretty nice.

All up a pretty good cruise, though things kinda fell apart after maccas when we all ended up split up :nuke: The drift was pretty sweet, too. Did any of you stick around till the end? I didn't see many of the cars there when I left at the end, though I stuck around for a bit to talk to a mate who was doing the judging. Half the time the judges couldn't see shit thanks to the dust and the wind was nearly tipping their little platform over XD Will post up the photos we got when I get them from my mates camera. Got some pretty awesome shots of the action.

i was there until the end, but god damn that wind/dust was giving me the shits. nothing like ruining a perfect day with crappy weather. i saw a few people, but mostly just watched the racing. saw heaps of skylines in the carpark and around, but couldn't remember who owned which...

Yeah that crash sucked! He is going to need a new bonnet (or at least some heavy pannel beating on it), front bar (which apparently he has one at home [YAY for him]), intercooler seemed fine, right hand side indicator was crack (but not broken), and the mounts for the front bar will need to be bent/fixed up. I'm asking around for parts and stuff.....I may not know him but you know SAU'ers and Nissan and lovers we have to stick up for one another! :D ... Well the day was awesome and final battle was pretty sweet....but one thing annoyed the hell out of me....the DAMN gail force propelled dirt. MEH! Just when I got home and had a shower, the water coming out of my hair was black! :(

Some of the Autosalon cars were just drewlable. Did anyone catch that JDM 350z? Or the two very sexual 32GT-R's?

How is the indicator sitch Richard? Shouldn't be too hard to get another...should it?

I have a few pics I took of the cruise up and when we were at Maccas on my phone (alright cam') and I'll post them up here in the next few days. I may have only been in a little BMW but did anyone catch the looks we were getting from kids and families on the highway....? :wave: <<< In a good way! :happy:

D-speed clear indicator, scarce and expensive :pirate: , I'm led to believe.

Maybe a good plastic welder type person. Any Ideas?

A decent plastic welder could fix them provided there is a marking on the case to say what sort of plastic was used when they were moulded so the plastic welder can use the right plastic. If the wrong type of plastic is used it won't hold up for very long at all. :O

    • @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.
    • 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.
