Heard a heap of people mentioning they are coming to this. Make sure you are all signed up.

I'm not sure what you guys are hoping for, but a nice cool day and a 1.31 would suit me :yes:

Also a number of us a staying at the Rose City Saturday night in Benalla.

If you are interested, it's $99 for a twin bed room. Talk to Bawa at the Rose (03) 5762 2611.

They have space for a number of trailers.

I need new front tyres...what have people here used on the front that doesn't cost too much?

I was thinking of getting AD08s on the front but they are pretty pricy

AD08's will last long, thus they are more pricey. They works out cheaper in the long term.

My brother runs them daily and 8,000km later and one track day. They look new still.

Speak to Shane at Traction in Rowville and see what price, tell him your from SAU.

I am hoping to make it and there is a maybe 1/3 chance. Tune didnt go to plan on Saturday and cam gears, cams and another turbo being tried over the next few days. If its all healthy will be bringing it for a run. Otherwise PI at the end of month for me.

Apparently the AD08 are changing to an AD08R so there's a shortage of them and won't be getting them to June/July

Shane's sorting out some Yokohama tyres suited for the track for me

Just what I was told when I asked for a pair of AD08s. They weren't too sure what they were going to be called but that's what they thought its gonna be called.

More expensive/fast tyres that I cant afford. Unless they are bringing out used edition that are half the price :) $100 slicks for the win

How many exhaust manifolds, turbo's, cams, intake plenum's has the car had again?!!? :woot:

LOL, You would be surprised that its not really that many. And the mods I have done to my car in total only add up to maybe 3 sets of semis. Mods are hopefully not consumables. Over 2k for tyres is scary.

So...if anyone wants a set of 295/35/18 AO50 soft compunds that have only done two sessions at Superlap last year on an EVO then hit me up. I was going to try and squeeze them onto my car but the cost of new rims etc means I dont care to do it anymore

I know, Just having a stab :P

This is 295 on a 10.5. So I'd hate to see what they look like on a 9.5. You could get em on 10, not sure what the performance would be like.

From what I remember Traction sayings the IPRA guys run a 265 on a 9" and it bulging.

If you can get hold of some 10's, then I'd try it. 9.5, is going to be taxi spec, I'm not sure the tyre will work that well. Hell wake em on the 9.5's and prove us all wrong.

      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

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      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.
