Had clutch put in, all seems well done. Was a little late in finishing the work that day, but at least they were willing to talk to me while they finished the job.

That was probably my fault John, the boys had issues with the injectors that I had and we had bounced a few phone calls for the better part of the day.

I'm a new member!! (my first post) the guys (John and Angelo) have been looking after my R33 Manual 4 door GTST skyline for the past year and John knows what he is talking about. I highly recommend these guys to look after your babies. Oh and I forgot, I have my skylne and now I am looking for a Black SII for my wife, I know I know, she likes the black and it has to be manual (what do you expect - I taught her to drive). Hopefully I find something soon - His and Hers.

I don't want to offend you guys but I'm looking at spending up to $15000 and yes GTST - SII not necessarily with all the performance

bits done but at least the major service if around the kilometres and very clean.

Don't worry about offending people partucually when you are just saying that is what you want to spend. I wouldnt sell mine that cheap but keep an eye on the for sale section you should be able to find some around the 15 - 16k if you keep an eye on it.

good luck to you :)

I'll be getting a clutch put in by Trojan soon, kinda using it as a toe in the water for future work. Got a good price for labour compared to other places. I knew I'd found the right place when I saw in the carpark: line, line, line, soarer, line...

Well I just got my gtr back from John and Angelo at Trojan.

They've done a terrific job on the car (had some new injectors put in, a new power steering belt and a tune on the dyno).

She's running very sweet now and have had a chat to John about some further modifications.

The guys know their 'skylines. I'd recommend them any day!

I had a new Xtreme clutch and lightened flywheel put in the other day. Car now feels ready for the kinda changes I'll throw at it ;) Good job guys.

But I can't say I'll ever get a twin/triple plate put in... my new one feels very on/off as is and it's only single plate! Just very heavy duty (very manageable though, I'm just a matter of getting the hang of it). Twins and triples must be insane.

      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

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      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.
