Sure am getting some fittings made when hes not too busy.

Just waiting on him mate.

Nope never run it down the q/m mate but id suspect it would be around the mid to late 11s maybe better if i can get it off the line correctly.

Nice write up Keiron and with that polished catch can it will look even better(If that's possible). Next year we'll have another awesome time although park further away from my car so people will actually look at mine you fu(ker hahahaha.

Talk soon brother....

yep alot of fun bill for sure.

Powercruise is a yearly thing for us now.

The highlight was when some obice chick in a 32gtr started to talk shit at me on the track,Calling my car a ebay job and what not lol,Ignorant people are so funny,At the end of the day her car was a bucket of unsorted crap getting passed by about every car on the track but she still talks rubbish to others about cars hahah,She has it forsale on this forum for 25 grand im pretty sure,Id neck my self befor paying 7 grand for her gtr it really was not very well looked after and the suspenion on oneside of the car would need replacing.

No Q/M times yet id say it would run around 11-12 mid 11s with a decent 60ft time.I live 4 hours from willowbank and last years test and tune had 250 cars lined up so i did not bother.

HAve not done any thing on the car as yet due to having a knee reco a few weeks ago,Basicaly after power cruise it came come sat in the shed.\

Thinking about selling to be honest and doinbg a new project theres not much more i can do wtih this car at this point in time,I had a goal for the gtr and i surpassed my goal.

I have never driven such a agressive street car even my gtir with 310 ATWs hp was a monster on the street and made alot of powerfull cars look extreamly slow,At power cruise this year i beat alot of high horsepower cars due to the gtrs setup and awsome response.

Theres a big diffrence between 470 hp atw and some massive lag monster that dont make boost till 5-6 grand.High hp cars are just not practical on the street, and to be honest im already 3 gears down the road befor they have made boost good luck catching that on a street car.

I think if i made any more hp id not enjoy the car at all.

Also picked up some carbon aero clips for the hood but im undecided if im to install them or not.

Any thoughts people.

yea i did find out what they were.The gear box it self did not suffer from not having them,I did however replace the gear box but only because of the 4th gear syncro,It was hardly noticeable and many friends who own gtrs said i was crazy for bothering but im anal about my cars and they have to be on the money and in good order or im unhappy with the car.

I like every thing to be spot on.

:)

Looking forward to powercruise this year,I hope more people from sau turn up.

i dunno if i like the black as much as the shadow chrome!

aaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

its staying like that for power cruise tho.

ill post some pictures after the rain goes away.

Getting the windows tinted at some other things tinted ill post up pictures befor i goto power cruise i think it will be phat as when its done.

Its going to change the whole apearence of the car to be honest and the black wheels are growing on me.

    • @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.
