Hi all,

just wondering if anyone was interested in this,

i film and edit for a living, got a cold at the moment and been stuck in the house all week editing, need to get away from the computer, i found a bit of excerise gets fid of the cold faster :(

Been dying to film some skylines, looking at a 2 - 3 min edit of some1s car, just pointless driving around shots, inside and out, things like that. mostly just make up some shots.

As it's a long weekend, any1 want to do this tomorrow (monday 2/6) should take about an hour or so to film (nice to meet some other skyline drivers), mostly finding different locations. Would be good if there were a few lines. gives me more footage to play with :( would b better if could do in the afternoon. north or south of the river. i don't mind going for a drive :(

just an idea :blink:

i was thinking along the coast, it's been done a million times, but might b a good place to start. between hilarys and trigg, lots of hills, trying to find somewhere with little traffic. also thinking abt city (st georges tce) or any industrial areas.

not looking for any burnouts, racing, or anything like that, just some clean footage of your car, also want some engine sounds :D

might b a bit late in the afternoon, but how abt 4pm start, the light will be disappearing, which is what i'm after, should make the cars stand out better :D

no probs, if any1 wants to come, meet at the new car parks @ hillarys at 4pm, the ones on the coast side, if ur leaving hillarys, heading towards trigg (north), the 1st ones on the right, might have to do a uturn depending on which way ur coming.

this is not a cruise, no maps, nothing like that, just in case any1 was thinking :D

pretty much just use the coast, then if anybody wants, head back to the city (or there abouts), looking to get more driving shots, means i have to go ahead, set up camera, then film away, thats why coast might b good, can find a few good spots, people can do uies and we can film some more :D

haha, this should b fun :teehee:

can't stay to long at the car park as the light will b fading, if any1 is gonna b late, just head north on the coast from hillarys. u'll either c some skylines or me filming ;) will b hanging around the hillarys 2 trigg area 4 a while

or contact me on 041 904 5943

thanks

steve

    • @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.
