Hi the names Rod,For those who are interested the Pittsworth Sprints are on in September 6th and 7th.

I am unsure of the how one goes about entering the competition but I do believe it is open to everyone.

Addmission to the track is $5 and all the proceeds go to the local hospital,so it is going to a good cause.

For those who don't know where Pittsworth is it is approximately 40km South West of Toowoomba.

The town has plenty of pubs and motels as well as a caravan park so accomodation should be plentifull ,I would suggest you pre book accomodation just to be on the safe side.

I have never been to the event myself but from what I have heard it is a real buzz.

Maybe we could get a few interested in going and make it a cruise to Pittsworth and a cruise back.

Your thoughts on the idea.

Hi Slip if you ring the local council in Pittsworth and speak to someone in regards to the track,or they may be able to put you on to someone who can tell you a bit about it.

I actually went up there for a drive yesterday but was not to sure what constituted the track,but the road we thought might be track wasn't to bad.

I have been told they are timed events so you are actually racing against the clock.

The number is 0746932455

Hi guys pittsworth is just down the road from me and i attended the sprints last year. That track is basically, what you would expect from local street and cordoned off. There were quite a few imports last year and a 33GTR holds the lap record.

I will be spectating this year, hope to see some of you there.

      Shoota's R33 GT-R RB30/26

      @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.
