So I thought I would update, we gave been here for 3 days and I love it. The people are very friendly and the cars are awesome. I can't believe how nice and clean the city is (we are staying in harajuku) and I feel very safe. Unlike Perth where I'm worried I'm going to get stabbed. Here are some pictures I have got so far post-103613-1413196896158_thumb.jpgpost-103613-14131969233881_thumb.jpgpost-103613-14131969610541_thumb.jpgpost-103613-14131969913694_thumb.jpgpost-103613-14131970266782_thumb.jpg We also went to nissan headquarters and say some awesome cars, GTR's are so comfortable.post-103613-14131971288432_thumb.jpgpost-103613-14131971552755_thumb.jpgpost-103613-14131971885408_thumb.jpgpost-103613-1413197208671_thumb.jpgpost-103613-14131972288809_thumb.jpgpost-103613-14131972476707_thumb.jpgpost-103613-14131972811384_thumb.jpgpost-103613-14131973137314_thumb.jpgpost-103613-14131973347371_thumb.jpg

More pics, we walked for like 8 hours yesterday I wish I was recording because the black GTR sounded amazing. post-103613-14133426730754_thumb.jpgpost-103613-14133426911357_thumb.jpgpost-103613-14133427056573_thumb.jpgpost-103613-14133427155173_thumb.jpg.

Then we went to a repco like shop which was huge and had everything you will ever need. Like if you crash you gt86 you can go there and buy a whole new front end.

You can buy that NISMO rb26 edition for $34 000. I reckon it would look great in my r32 post-103613-14151246808624_thumb.jpg

You will love it, yeah we went buy train it's on the way to Yokohama. You will need to get on the keikyu line and get off at namamugi station and walk for about 10 minutes. But you can find it on the internet. And when you look it up. Nismo moved to Yokohama so make sure your not looking at where they used to be. We made that mistake and it's a long treck to get to Yokohama from where we were

I miss Japan so much lol. I visited August last year. I went to that exact same Super Autobacs lol.. I also went to the Nismo Omori Factory, they had completely different cars on show. Did you check out the bathrooms in there? And also take note of the camshafts used for door handles? So mad lol.

    • 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.
    • 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
