Was pretty good

I dig the decor too

Honestly knew nothing of him running a new one until he came up and said hi

This is because you're not on facebook and don't come to any events or track days...

Stock specs will be fine, if it's lower you'll have more camber but you only get half a degree of adjustment in the rear and none in the front so not like you can do anything about it. Getting toe right is the main thing so you're not chewing through tyres.

if you can would run a little more camber in the front just for handling.

but if stock you don't have much adjust ability

so camber front -1 rear -.5

maybe 1-2 mm tow in front just to have it turn a bit better.

rear fairly neutral

Big difference in drivetrain loss, if the article is unbiased (they are technically sponsored by holden) and lets assume the claimed flywheel figures weren't bs from the beginning.

So where's the loss coming from, do they have similar style drivetrains and transmissions?

At the end of the day, its a heap of power anyway... you're going to have a ball either way... But what happens when you swap an exhaust / intake and do a simple flash tune... Is one going to pick up 20kw and the other one going to pick up 100kw? If so, my choice is made right there...

I think bs flywheel figures is the crux of the article brah

    • 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.
    • I was just going to say that it's good to see you picking up the pace again. Hope the surgery goes well. More downtime just means more time to come up with new ways of digging a deeper rabbithole  
    • How do they compare in size? I have the Yaris coil packs in mine and they work fine. But they are either bigger or sit differently so the engine cover doesn't fit anymore. Not the end of the world but not great either. Do the R35 ones sit flush?
