looks like i might be selling the skyline. in order for a v8 commodore ute.

im tired of always being pulled over.

and im jsut getting my licence back tomorow.

the skylines great, its fast and handels really well, but it dosent scare me anymore, and i cant afford to make it have huge power due to the fact i use it as a everyday car.

so, im goin to get a new fornt bar and some other stuff, sell my front mount. and then sell the line :D .

but ill still have it for a few months, got indy and everythigns too busy at work.

my plans are get a nice commodore ute with a 304 v8, loud exhaust and pretty stock engine. yes it will be slow.

then AIR BAGS. going to make the lay on its guts.

my mates jsut finished baging his impala and im quite impresed in the setup. its so much fun jsut to push the buttons on the remote control.

and another reason to sell the skyline is, i dont have insurance. and before u give me shit, i have to pay for insurance on 2 houses pay the morgage for both. so im kinda pov atm.

o and im buying a yz125 also.

i had 2 dr250 91' and a dr350 93' suski and they are ok, unless you end up under one :D

thers no way i would get a 2 stroke, its just oo light and they got no guts really. I was going to buy a road bike instead of my line, but I realise i would be dead now, so I'm lucky i didnt get it, wouldnt mined one though, i love riding bikes.

well I dont know, the only 2 stroke i been on was a rm 125( or 250 some rm), and i thought it was pretty so, compared to my dr 250.

i bought the lot for $700 so i didnt really care, it was fun till i ended up underneath it one day and snapped a tendon :D

350 and 14yr old , not a good mix in the wet.

yeah last weekend i spent 500 on alcohol, and still went to work saturday morning, i got a taxi home and had time for a piss and took shirt off and my lift to work turned up and asked if that was my taxi out front :D

operating a 35 tonne $1,000,000 forklift while drunk isnt the smartest thing, you just gotta slow down.

anyway I'm looking at upping my boost to 10 psi, but going to do it through a boost controller, I was wondering do they have turbo timers and boost controllers in one?

one of my friends said i should get a sequenal boost something, i have no idea what it is :D im still learning.

i also did a 18hr shift on monday to get some extra cash to pay the rest of my fines off, so I hope I can start saving again :D

    • @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.
