All this talk..

oh wait...

no action :P

j/k

:bonk: ... i take back all those nice things i was saying about your car. All i have is talk, i dont even own a car, dont you think its funny that noone in Victoria has ever seen my car:(

I shoudl be good to go for Phillip Island on 13/14th November. Waiting to hear back re-vacant positions.

Yeh it was a great day, it was great to get some sun:)

LOL, highlight of the day was the last few laps with Gareth giving the R33s some curry drifting onto the straight each time. I was handling not being out there until i saw his R32 tearing it up:thumbsup:

I'm spewing, i helped him bleed his brakes (for the third time) then headed home before the final session and missed it. I'd already turned a lovely shade of pink so hadda piss off before i went completely lobster!

Good day though, and great turnout, on the non-Skyline front I'd have to say the Ferrari 355 going down main straight and sounding for all the world like a F1 was a big highlight.

Yep - semi's are cheater tyres. Also - several of those guys were running cheater turbo's.

Look at the biggest cheater of them all however - he also has cheater brakes, cheater bonnet, cheater wing, even cheater fuel!

But god dammit - I hope one day I can cheat as good as he does. :D

Just off the topic (a bit) but incidentally, was on my way to work this morning, loud, low, no front plate.

Police drive by slowly in traffic, look at the car, look at the front and no plate, look at me, keep going :confused: see what happens when they see a guy wearing a suit?

If I'd been wearing my weekend get abouts, I bet the sirens would be on and I'd been taken down

How do you figure:confused:

:D Your just making excuses beacause it pulled away after you :cough: let him pass:)

I waved him past me on first corner when i was half on the grass and trying to get back into 3rd gear while doing 60km/h. You can ask him if ya dont believe me :(

He was in the 1.35's also most of the day like me.

Where do we find the offical times on the net?

Apparently he put down a 1.31 in the final session.

Hey Marcus,

Do you live around Richmond?  I see your car up and down Vic St a fair bit

I live in Camberwell, and drive down Vic street to work every morning (work in the city :D) where's the wave / honk? what are you driving?

followed you down on the SE Arterial on Sunday morning

Umm... was I behaving myself or being an ass? I have an explanation for that if I was an ass - some clown was tailgating my mate who was following in a red 206, so we played with them all the way to the springvale rd exit... poor bugger... didn't know what was going on!

That, my friend, is the quote of the day.

It's good to see you in good spirits mate.

Look im not fussed anymore, stressing about it aint going to change what happened. There is always tomorrow.

BUT you my friend, you take the champion of the week award, driving down the pits with the ciggie hanging out your mouth like the champion athlete you are:thumbsup:

Then when the cookie crumbed you seemed to be in pretty good spirits considering. Hope it all comes together for you.:D

    • @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.
