haha thats so crazy... I Left my car at a mates place one night while out at civic and asked him for a car cover to protect my car (Kambah) He told me not to worry because theres a guy with an R33 GTR on his street and it hasnt been raped yet, turns out thats you :D

Works out so perfectly aswell, was going to be playing poker at his place that night aswell so can go to the club discussion for a bit then drive down the street a few houses and lose some money. Good times, should definitely be there

Hi all,

The last pizza night organised by Veilside was great and I unfortunately missed it. However since you guys seem like such a great bunch of guys I'm addressing the situation but organising another one. The invite is open to anyone who wants to come. The location will be my heated entertaining room in Kambah and $5 each for those who want pizza should suffice, please bring drinks. If you want to bring your own food that's fine by me. Start time 6.30 for 7 pm. Feel free to bring DVD's to watch.

I would like to make a special request for those people who are interested in coming up with, and putting some ideas on paper, in relation to what an ACT Skyline club may look like and what we as owners want out of any club. I have spoken to many regulars and have received some very positive responses and ideas, I would love to hear from anyone who has an idea. I have spoken to Shell and am hoping she can attend.

Partners/GF's are highly encouraged to attend as my GF would love to have some conversations that don't necessarily relate to cars.

Please reply to this thread and I'll PM you exact location. If you can not attend please feel free to post constructive comments in the thread.

I hope to hear from everyone

Cheers,

Jon

Please note as a bit of house keeping I need to get up early to officiate in a martial arts tournament the next day so I expect to kick everyone out by midnight. Smoking outside (like every club) and there may also be an off duty police officer in attendance so keep it clean (Don't worry they will not be booking cars). I have room for about 10 cars in my driveway and I can use next door's off street parking for another 3 or so. The rest will be on street parking.

Thanks for the reply of where you are.I will see you on the 4th just after 6:30.

Cheers.

All members replied too.

Looks like I'll have to borrow a couple of extra chairs, it will be great.

We can bring some fold up chairs as well. Happy to bring anything else if needed.

Will be in Sydney otherwise i would have been keen to come along and help out where possible.

We don't want you there anyway, you drive a subaru, :D j/k

When are you going to bring the new car out?

hehe my wagon is still more accepted than yours :)

I am away a fair bit over the next few weeks Sydney this week and then getting back late from Tech Ed on the Gold Coast the week after... So maybe 3 weeks time or so. I just had it detailed at detail FX who did another great job. Also got a Car Bra today haha looks sweet as if you fly that way :banana:

HA HA! your car has bitch tits!!! :)

hehe leave my sexy beast alone. She needs a little lift and protection in the front this will ensure that in the next few years she will still have a nice tight front end with no chips. :(

    • @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.
