nice videos - looked like you pulled up short of the nuts :) Had to lol a little when you turned the wheel well after it was all locked up though! hehe

I've got to say I think you should be in the Modified Road Registered class rather than the Production Road Reg class. Car looks modified to me! Good to see more Jap turbo cars turning up out there :)

Turning the wheel You can only but try/hope.... :whistling:

Cars pretty much stock....Build to production sports car CAMs specs.... Stock ecu, turbo, inlet, outlet manifold, stock brakes, motor.... Only real mods is the camber arms and coil overs, cage so I have a fighting chance if I go over on my lid. I don't care what class I was in, just turned up for fun. It will be a once a year thing for me. Could be worse, look at the AC cobra.... Built DJR race motor, hoilenger gear box, nissan diff.... Running in MK sports....

I can see your perspective, but it isn't CAMS Production Sports Car racing, it's a class MGCCQ made to give near stock road cars a class to race in away from the stripped-out, caged-up race cars they were previously luimped in with. Cars are supposed to comply with QLD Transport rules and must have a cat. Minimal mods allowed in Prod Road Reg, basically exhaust, springs and shocks. Any more than that and it's in Modified Road Reg. At least that's the way they explained it to me before I entered. When I was getting close to the record I had officials checking if I had a pod filter or intercooler!

Was entered as Mk Sports..... people complained, It's listed under CAMs as a sports car, but not under FIA.

Then they enter me as 4 wheel drive Forced induction..... My car is 2 wheel drive

Then Mod production car.... Someone complained because I was not entered in the series and would muck up there points... Plus it's a sports car not a production car.....

All the other R33s GTST where entered in the Inv cars class, the other drivers where o.k. with it be cause my car was pretty much stock other than the cage which weights 80 plus kg.... Pretty much about the same as a interior of the car. Still got electric windows and mirrors, on road tires.....I just wanted to have a some fun....... Which I did....

But it's motor sport...Every ones got a opinion.....Whinny bottoms are going to Whinny bottom..... ;)

    • @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.
