Went to RE Customs today with me bro to see what power his Evolution TME was making. We were hoping for shooting for 160kw but ended up with the following. Not bad i guess, considering it hasnt been tuned.

mmm TME :D

what other results were there?

There was a Mitsubishi GTO that pulled something like 204 at the wheels, a Stagea with 154kw at the wheels, another evo 6 with 152kw at the wheels and thats pretty much all i remember.

saff_cossie, what mods are you running?

what mods did the gto have? pretty stock?

That track car is rays - looks bloody mean as - wouldnt want to take on that thing on the track or drag!

The chaser was there when I went to get them to check some leakages in my engine bay - I swear that exhaust gives one of the most meanest rumbles i have ever heard - From memory - I think it has some very very big mods in the engine bay

That white r33 with the custom bar (400r bar?) - that looks soo awesome!!!

Lol - you go there any time of the week, and you are guaranteed to see atleast 1 gtr somewhere in the workshop.....

I have 2 mods on mine:

Carbon engine cover (reported to gain 10kw)

SAU Vic stickers (confirmed to add 30kw per sticker)

Nah, seriously, the above two are the only changes. Going to put some dump pipes on ultimately. My VII is supposed to be 205kw at the fly from factory.

Your brothers sounds a little low though as my mate had a VI in the UK which was knocking on 270bhp from factory.

His brothers car probably just needs a good tune....

I want a ride in that chaser now!

Yeh my bro had the his exhaust bolted on the Friday night and the dyno run confirmed that there really is'nt that much difference. Hence maybe a good tune will give better results.

Dont know if its true, but Japanese model TME's apparently had more power. I read in Wheels/Speed mags when they were doing comparo's.

Still trying to figure out who was the dood with the R34 GTT was...

You meant the BLACK GT-T with stickers, R tires and big Wing? Thats Matt, an SAU VIC member, hardcore tracker as well, the car has show and go, from memory it made 280kw@rear.

Thats him! Yeh i saw pics of his cars at track days and stuff. Big Brembo's, Suspension, Volk GTC's?, Wing, Tires... the lot.

Man for the ammount he spent, im sure he could have got a nice Vspec R34.

And then he would have spent that money all over again on a 34 V-spec... then he could have bought himself a 993 porka instead... it goes on and on :P

    • @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.
