Hey well a few of us were talking about stickers last time I attended a meet, and was told to PM Gary1, I did but replies are few and far between, so I did some searching and it looks like we can order them for the same price from a SAU banner sponsor, detailed in this thread:

Yeah I only ordered the small ones too, just be carefull putting them on, stupid me did not know they are not directional, but I made them :D after a bit of fiddling :)

The big one does not look too bad, I got one too so I stuck it on, might replace it with one that has slightly bigger writing, but they all look awesome on a black car, white on black really stands out!

Maybe we need a short picture tutorial to show people how to apply them.

I've got the stickers just haven't put them on yet, cause I am waiting until I clean my car and I am extremely lazy :D

Might do it on Thursday night while we are waiting for everyone to show up and then we can take photos at the same time.

Yeah I didnt think it was too hard, just got to have a steady hand and start off where the letters meet the circles and then go out in both directions from there, problem was that I wanted both side of my car to look the same, so I stuck the passengers side circles on upside down, which meant the little bit in the middle had to go because then none of the lettering fit, also had to move the skyline top lettering across and try to line up the bottom fron red circle, lots of fart-assing around, but got the look I was after :D

I think the generally accepted rule is to use a spray bottle (garden variety) with a small amount of detergent. Spray the area where the sticker is going to gi with a light film and then apply sticker. the liquid and detergent allows you to move the sticker around and push out any air pockets before its sets in its final position

That's the method I have been told when applying vinyl stuff anyway....give it a go...works a treat

    • @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.
