Hi all!

Just thought I would let everyone know that the car club I am involved in (Nepean Valley Car Club) is running 3 events on Easter Saturday.

There will be a Lap Dash on the North Circuit, you will get 1 full flying lap with a warm up & cool down into-out of the pits, we want everyone to get at least 6 runs, but will just keep sending you out till you cant take it any more(or 4.30pm, which ever comes first!)

There will also be a proper CAMS (timed) Motorkhana on the Skid Pan, minimum 6 events, 2 runs at each test.

AND.... to top it off we will be running a Khanacross on the Figure 8 dirt track too! It's relativley smooth & we will be running road tyres only (on the driven wheels, so no rally tread type tyres)

Prices are:

LAP DASH: $99

MOTORKHANA:$45

DIRT CIRCUIT:$50

These events will be run with CAMS permits, by a CAMS affiliated club (NVCC)

The normal CAMS requirements will apply for helmets, clothing, fire extinguishers, blue battery triangle etc.

PLEASE go to the link

and fill in the registration form asap if you would like to enter & put a note on it that you are from SAU too.

If you have any quastions, feel free to pm me or just reply on here.

For the Lap Dash, 6 runs consisting of a 3/4 of a lap warm up, 1 full flying lap & a 1/2 a lap cool down back into the pit lane.

Once everyone has done their 6, we will just keep on sending you out till you cant take it any more, or until 4.30pm, which ever comes first.

For the Skid Pan Motorkhana(dry, & no reversing tests), Minimum 6 tests

For the Dirt Circuit, 6 runs + till 4.30pm

Some entries will be accepted on the day, but, to confirm your spot & to keep(time consuming) paperwork to a minimum on the day we really would appreciate it if you can send in the registration form & payment at least a week before the event.

We can now do FREE 1 day membership to the organising CAMS club (Nepean Valley Car Club)

CAMS licences will be available to buy on the day if you don't already have one.

L2S licences $95

L2NS for the pan & dirt are $50.

Scruitineereing (is also free), & can be done by ANY 'S3' CAMS Scruitineer & needs to be done in the week prior to the event. Best to phone the CAMS office on (02) 6935 1366 for your nearest scruitineer, usually the local motorsport type workshop, or somoene might live in your area so you can just work out a time to go to them at their home or where ever.

Basically, scruitineering covers safety, such as

- front end/steering no wobbles etc,

- seat firmly mounted,

- battery firmly mounted,

-condition of seat belt, (a standard seat belt in a road car is fine)

- if you have a roll cage, you must use a harness type belt

-an approved helmet (for the speed /dirt events. 99% of helmets sold in Aus are legal)

- a fire extinguisher within reach that is secureley mounted(you can use strong/wide cable ties to mount the bracket if you dont want to drill holes, but DONT cable tie the extinguisher in!)

- & a secondry bonnet latch (an occy strap or a belt through the handle is fine)

-also a blue triangle 150mm sides to show battery location(blue elictrical tape will be fine) for the lap dash.

-you will need long clothing too

Scruitineering will also be available on the day of the event in the morning, but you might have to wait in a que for a little while... please put a note on the registration form if you will need to be scruitineered on the day, & that you are from SAU

If you have any other questions about anything feel free to PM me or post them on here

      @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.
