I'd rather having insurance and searching forever for 'perfect' car than not having insurance at all...

That way I'm able to sleep at night knowing I'm covered.

That's just me, you can put security system to shame Fort Knox and someone will find a way to steal it, unfortunately it's the way it is nowdays.

u wot m8? I never said you shouldn't have insurance, i just said that your comment of insure it and who gives a f**k if it gets stolen is wrong and you should still be paranoid about your car getting stolen, because it will take you forever to find a car like the one you had (unless you had a piece of shit before hand)

As for finding 'perfect' car differs to everybody.

One might want to go OCD, other would go with reasonable condition.

Each to their own, I'm just saying anyone's car can get stolen anywhere, in any way (carjacking, flat bed, good 'ol break and Hotwire etc).

Like I said, if people want to steal your car, they will. But that's for another topic.

*sighs*

It's up to you whether you want to be paranoid or not about your car.

That is what insurance is for amongst other things such as being covered should idiots out on the road hits you etc... Which I'm sure you know this.

It's a attitude I chose with my car. If it happen to me, well, shit happens.

Your whole attitude towards it is wrong. Might aswell never lock my car and leave my keys in the ignition because i have insurance right? Who gives a f**k if it gets stolen.

Of course i know of this, my last gtr got stolen, my new one i bought had someone try break into it 2nd day i had it and i got rear ended 3rd time driving it. I have been without my gtr for about 3 and a bit weeks now because some top bloke fell asleep at the wheel. Don't worry about the inconvenience on missing out on drives with my mates and other shit though because i have insurance................. -_-

With the shit that has happened to me with my cars and the area i live in i will ALWAYS be paranoid as f**k, as everyone should be.

wait till the vilella brothers get to his joint. his views on getting his car stolen will change. Theres a guy in my street that chains his gtr at night by chains i mean he loops it on both the rear tyres. the only way to get through it is to grind it cause conventional bolt cutters wont work.

Simple solution move or stop buying nice cars !

Also leaving you car unlocked and leaving keys in the ignition voids your insurance

insurance doesnt have to know your car was unlocked and keys were in the ignition.

Hahaha i know right? You need to do that these days to keep the car from those speds. My cars stay in the garage these days and the dog sleeps in there too now, just in case they get in and he gets a bit hungry lol

Need to set one up with a GPS tracker and leave it on the street in a semi industrial area of the north west. Would just be a matter of time before it's taken, then call the rozzers and track it, would probably end up at the same place as half the other stolen skylines.

The same rozzers that caught the guy that stole my car who is still out and about stealing cars? -_-

Haha ain't that the way. But do 4km/h over the speed limit and they'll fight tooth and nail to make you pay the fine :)

      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.
