Thats a good number mate Congrats

two questions though

is the car registered and are u running full trim in it or just the two front seats

dude I checked your ride out at wsid a few weeks back on the trailer, your car is mega stripped no dash cluster or trim looks tough man

two question though

do you always run no exhaust on the street

how do you register a car with 6 pont cage and massive cams(emissions)

I know emmissions is first thing on my mind. I not only want to love the environment, I want to couple with it.

thats the way it should be bro with a street car

Jas/slo32 doesn't pretend his is a street car he walks the talk....shame others only talk the talk :)

I agree totally. Anyone whose car would fail an emmissions test should have their rego papers torn up in perpetuity. Then you'd see some real excitement at street meets, unparalleled in it's entertianment value, perhaps with the exception of V8 supercars.

MrBlonde please explain how you call your car a street car but over on your XXXX boy forum you make statements like

Dude, I've got the Nissan boys covered ;-)

You should see the look on the GTR boys face when they do their first runs and realise their "monsters" only run mid 13s :-)

Don't get me wrong, there are some mighty quick GTRs once they are modified, but I am currently sitting in number 3 on the Skyline timeslip database, and the two quicker than me are not really street cars any more:

aaaah bro I get it they're not street cars if they're faster then you....only cars slower then you are street cars

Whoever you are you seem to have a lot of unresolved hostilities; I think someone needs a hug!

You've taken part of a post I made a long time ago and out of it's context to try to progress your agenda.

If I understand your agenda correctly you've made more than a couple of swipes at me regarding my BMWs status as a street car rather than a race car. Is that the bee in your bonnet?

My car has engineer's papers and RTA registration showing modified status. Isn't that street legal? No, I don't think it would pass emmissions testing in the same trim it races in.

Apart from that, I don't understand what your point is.

Out of context ... No

Part of a post ... No thats the complete post I can link you if you like

Agenda ... None I'm not the one that replied to your post with a smartarse reply

While we're asking questions why would you say "the two quicker than me are not really street cars any more" is that because they ran times on radial tyres and Leewahs was driven to the strip?

I'm flattered you spend your free time googling for posts I make on other car forums years ago but I still don't understand your point.

My car is Engineered and isnt stripped the standard Cluster was removed due to the fact that Nismo Dashes ETC are to much and i can run Autometer guages with a custom cluster cheaper and looks 100 times better

the Cage is engineered and the car has passed an emissions test im only running 870 cc injectors.

To be honest on the road i use an 4 " exhaust with a high flow cat.But when removing the exhaust the car comes on boost quicker.Its not power related.The reason the exhaust is off at the drags is i didnt wanna sit there for 30 seconds to reach full boost.My car is 100% street legal and once i run the best number the car can run over the 6 month race season i will put the exhaust back on and drive it round. WHY I DONT DO IT NOW IS PURELY BEING LAZY and that i just wanna race and make big power.

Nitrous setup is legal if the bottle is removed/disconnected.

Sorry WRONG

As of 1st Feb 2006 it is illegal to have any part of the Nitrous set up connected ie nozzle, solenoids lines etc etc

http://www.dotars.gov.au/transport/safety/...n/vsb_ncop.aspx

the info is all there, same goes with a 6 point cage installed after the 1st of Feb

Re: 6 point rollcage - Is that installed and certified before February 2006, or just installed before then and can be certified post Feb 2006??

but why do threads about a great acheivement in this section always turn to shit fights?

Because one man's "legal road car" is another mans "all out race car".

When someone says it's a legal road car because the mods are "engineered"

50% of the people go "OK then, it's allright to call it a road car".

The other 50% say "engineered" means it is full of illegal mods that have been approved to drive around the street, even though they are illegal for their car (because their car hasn't been engineered). Same mods though.

Where do you draw the line? In some states you could just about get a funny car "engineered", does that make it a "road car"?

;) cheers :D

It's not a nitrous oxide injection system if some of the components aren't there - then it's just nitrous oxide components and doesn't constitute a system at all.

Did the chicken or the egg come first?

Anyone can pick parts of the rules and change them to suit themselves but really it all comes down to how much the polieman knows thats defecting you ;)

    • @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.
