I lived in Boston last year and saw those Impalas everywhere. They certainly have the R34 lights going on at the back there.

When I told people I drove a Skyline they either had no idea what it was or were totally in awe. When asked about it (by the knowledgeable ones), I'd just say it was an R33 Skyline and most of them assumed it was a GTR. Of course, I kept quiet about the fact that it wasn't :P

once i met some guys that were from the us only here for a few days, when they found out i drove a skyline they were like omg as if its a ferrari or some mythical car lol.

i took them for a drive in it, and told them to sit inside and take a pic to show their friends, the were like nah nah as if its too much of an honour! lol!!!!

Hello from Sydney now. :rofl:

I was in cali when I posted. But I've been to Florida, Chicago and also Wisconsin.

When I tell people I have a gtr they worship your every word. Strange cause I think it's just a car..... like any other... :confused:

It was an interesting trip I . I tried all this american food and it's a good change from all the regular. Eg, who had steak and eggs on the same plate? Crousant, sausage, egg and cheese in one... getting strange now.... but I notice that they called what we deem "chilli" as "pepper".

Wendy's is a restraunt, not just an ice cream shop.

But yeah, still have to explore the place a little bit more in future.

I think that's what I like about over there. Something is ALWAYS open. Denny's, IHOP just to name two. It's better than just kebabs and i your lucky, maccas.

But just to pick a bone, at Wendy's. I had something called "Chilli's". Here I am expecting this thing to be all chilli/hot/spicy, and there's absolutely NOTHING when I stuck it in my mouth. "HELLO! ANY DAY NOW!". It's just mince beef and tomato, etc.. mix. Taste good but no chilli. I was disappointed with that.

    • @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.
