I've already changed my destiantion to Osaka, and I'm really happy about it. I've also extended my stay to 14 nights after hearing all the things there is to do there.

Osaka seems like it suits me anyway. I'm a foodie and Osaka seems to be a great food city.

I will deffinately check out some things that Loach suggested' like the aquarium.

Plus the accomodation was alot cheaper in Osaka :thumbsup:

Great to hear you are going to make it to Osaka. It is a fantastic city especially for food, music etc. Most of the TV personalities in Japan come from there. Apart from the stuff I already mentioned there are some other places you might want to visit. If you get tired of Japanese food there are one or two Shakeys pizzas in Shinsaibashi - all you can eat, unlimited time for about 1200yen plus they have Japanese curry rice as well as all the pizzas etc. Awesome. Osaka castle is definitely worth a visit although it is not original. There is an original castle in Inuyama (Aichi) which also has a a place called Monkey Park. Monkey Park has an amusement park as well as a zoo full of hundreds of monkeys including a big male gorilla. Back in Osaka there is a Chamber Music Festival on at the time you are there, which should be pretty good if you like classical music. Also if you take a train from Namba you can go to Koyasan, I haven't been there but it is a popular tourist destination for Japanese people with old temples, shrines, buildings etc. Anyway if you have any troubles or anything while you are here drop me a PM and I should get notified by email which I usually check twice a day. Have a great trip.

      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.
