lol yeah all the usual bullsh1t :) I've even managed to convert a couple of my (female) friends to skyline-lovers over the past 4 weeks, and they were keen on coming too :P grrr for work... *searches for silver lining* I guess I'm gonna have to go to the mountain sometime else...

Whats the deal?!, working on Mountain/GT cruise day. Oh well, if you feel the need to hit the mountains you know who to call, although I am pretty busy at the moment but can usually find a bit of time for a quick run.

dunno if i can be bothered coming now, after the cruise i went on last night, the amount of immature knobends gettin round in imports is disturbing. the endless stream of shit coming from the leaders in the group or people who wanted to feel like they were important. occaisonal banter is good, but geeze just cause theres a chick drivin a silvia, half the morons were tryin their hardest to get their dicks wet, i almost threw my uhf out the window on 2 occaisions, and consequently left the cruise when it returned to the m1.

something else came up on the night which left me somewhat pissed off so the above didnt help my tempriment much at all. I went home via tamborine...

so far after 3 months of not having my licence and 2 weeks of having it back, i dont think it was worth waiting to get it back.

That was because it was a boostcruising cruise (which always brings the knobs out) which is why you don't see me go to their cruises.

This a skyline cruise, completely different kettle of fish IMHO.

I believe we are leaving at 7.30am on the dot :burnout:

And yes it is the BP at the Coomera turnoff.

I will be leaving Southport around about 6.45am so you can tag along with us then if you want.

PM me if you do :P

Uhm, it's these huge cruises that bring the "knob ends" out. Just because it's "boostcruising" doesn't mean it's going to be a bad cruise. You obviously haven't crusied with the members of boost, only the ****wits that think they are associated with it.

I get really frustrated when people make comments like this. It's the "hanger ons" that do all the ****ed up things. Not "boostcruising".

Think before you speak eh?

    • @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.
