benny_blanco, doesn't hurt but what a pain in the arse, remove fuelpump fuse, cas plug or whatever and that's just as good. unless you want to pull kickpanel on and off and undo a 10mmbolt holding the loom in the computer and risk damaging the loom rippin it in and out..hehe...

if your car is near where u sleep at night have and alarm that makes a sound when u open the locks of the car and dont worry if your asleep your body will hear that and dont worry you WILL wake up, its a subconcious thing happens many times when my dad needs to move it while im sleeping i always wake up for a sec when i hear the sound

Don't do what Donny don't does.

hey what did donny do?

btw, add a couple more things to add to that list...

1, investigate microdotting parts off your car (you can now apply the stuff yourself and register your details online)

2, security etching on your windows (last time i remembered it was around $50 from raa)

They won't prevent your car being nicked, but a professional thief might move onto the next car if he sees your car is etched.

hahaha.. lol bad donny *smacks*

Another option.. DIY Ghetto Style GPS tracking.

If you've got a GPS enabled phone already which you don't mind stashing in your car.. then just go directly to the site http://www.mologogo.com/ - time for me to go hunting on ebay for a el cheapo phone.

If someones in my house to steal my ride they wont be leaving it either.. maybe in a body bag.. I dont care wat anyone says.. Breakin into someones house in the night while they are in the house is asking for confrontation.

Another ridiculously inexpensive tracking system.. using an old phone as a cellular tracking device.

Now this is a fkn great idea, SOOOO easy too. I'm gonna hit the local jaycar and get a box to mount it in so it looks like another computer in the car... could mount it anywhere :rofl:

It's pretty clever hey.. does anyone know where we can get non-expiring pre-paid sim cards?? you know the ones where call credits don't run out and your card doesn't get disconnected after period of non-use.

    • @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.
