Here's a video DIY for brake fluid change that my boo and I did on my R33. Just click the link, download, and enjoy!

If no one downloads it for 30 days the file will be removed from the servers (it's on a free webhosting server), so keep my baby alive. If it does get wiped then let me know and I'll re-upload it!

Now, go change your brake fluid!

Negative terminal came off because the service manual said so. I think it was to disable the ABS unit as the other option is to pull out the fuse for the ABS unit instead of removing negative terminal. I just assumed my car has ABS. If yours doesn't then no need to remove any electrical thing.

Would you believe me if I said vid was taken with camera phone?

Didn't think so! My boo has a Panasonic NV-GS200. Nice little camera, 3-CCD as well, but these days you can get the NV-GS400 for about $1500 (and that's paying retail) which has 12x optical zoom and optical image stabilizer. Just as an aside, my boo recently had to get the prism in the camera replaced as there was a known fault. It was covered under warranty even though the camera is about 3 years old and the problem only recently occurred.

Vid editting was done using Sony Vegas Movie Studio and Sound Forge Audio Studio.

That's right, ferni. It's encoded with xvid codec and lamemp3 for audio. I use K-Lite Codec Pack which installs pretty much all the necessary codecs to play just about every sort of format you'll come across on the net. Just do a google search for "k-lite codec".

      @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.
