Massive car prang in front of my house late last night.

Watching tv with the wife in the front room and heard a WRX screaming up our street, then an explosion.

Ran out to find a young guy in a silver 2000 WRX had hit a new Lexus parked outside my neighbours.

WRX written off, left airbag shattered windscreen...Lexus looked fine and still driveable.

Cops came and arrested him for blowing over....turns out he borrowed the car from his girlfriend in Cumberland Pk and had come to Pasadena to visit his other girlfriend.

This clown was giving the cops a hard time and being a hero so I think they may have had fun with him back at Sturt.......unfortunately the girlfriend only has 3rd party ins.

Cops were good though, they came over and had a look at my bike, gave me a card and invited me and the bike to a BBQ at Sturt that they have on some Sundays.

Avatar are apparently getting tougher with outlaw bikers (as I found out last week near Flinders) so they said it would be a good opportunity for some of the Sturt guys to meet me and the bike so as to avoid the dramas of last week again (long story).

Can you tell Sturt police that not all skyline drivers are hoons while you're down there? :D
Absolutely.....they saw mine so I think that may help abit.

My bro in law is a cop for Sturt, they know skylines arent the problem but so many of them have been stolen lately that they pull most of them over to see if the run or if their the owners.

      @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.
