there is a silver 4 door 34 parked in the Pretoria car park in Mannum.

has been there for atleast 3 days, front number plate is hanging on by 1 screw, and there is a bit of stuff in the car, shoes etc, most noticable being a purse sitting on the back seat.

the car has got leaves on it, is pretty dirty etc, hasnt moved since thursday or friday.

has a synergy sticker on the back window, and a gtsr badge on the front grill.

does anyone know whos it is? or what its doing etc?

i just find it a bit weird because of the purse etc sitting on the back seat. its just asking for someone to come along and break into it.

ive been keeping an eye on it, for damage etc, with the only thing being the front plate, someones tried to remove it or whatever.

anyone got any info? or know of someone missing it or anything? ill watch it and see if it moves etc, and ill get it checked out tomorrow by the 5-0.

hmm pretty odd, call the police and let them know, might be stolen or foul play?

if not call , rocco at sinergy to see if he knows the owner, maybe he can call them ?

last time i reported a car like that the cops they took there sweet ass time and came the next day but some kids broke into it and torched the car. it was stolen too.. little bastards!!! good old huntfield heights

Ted , good to see someone steps up to the plate to take notice of odd things. instead of just blowing it off.

      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.
