should be the offical sauwa mascot car, ahahah i love it, i got 50m 100mm pin striping, im sure we could wack some gt stripes on it hahaha, chrome paint the dubs, a shopping list, and a drift wing up on the roof ahahha should make it pull high 10's :D

bunkys are the shizle though, i had a performance bunky i had one of those really old toyota celicas ages ago, and while i was inside watching tele at a mates house they drcuded to sneak out and have some fun, they gave it 2 crooked as fudg racing stripes, painted the rims and wall of the tyre red and white, wrote 05 over it everywere, including my name on the boot ahah i walked outside after about 30mins to find my car totaly bombed up, not with tape, all spraycans, ahahah was a good laugh, ahhh how i miss her now :)

now thats a beast hahaha

gotta love bunkys and being able to go to the shops and dont bother winding up windows or locking it or bugger all haha

the joys, go over speed humps at 100kmh, over large curbs, drifting into curbs and laughing when ya hit it haha, bent plenty of axles in my old bunkys :) cost like $50 for a complete engine, and f**kin other parts people give away, and u can park it in some dodgy train station carpark or whatever and dont give a shit about whether its there when u get back :)

those where the days :)

Haha yeah the main reason I bought a N/A 33, at least 400kms per tank. Also got an R31 Pintara, must be 550ks per tank.

EDIT: Which reminds me, Pintara is for sale. Slow but looks fully sick uleh! PM for pics if anyone wants to know more.

just picked up my new car, bit of an upgrade from the R33

it pulls a scary 51 flywheel kilowatts @ 5000rpm.

today i changed the oil and spark plugs, removed the rear louver, and dumped it on some new 13" hubcaps.

pimpin.

man.. bunkys are where its at, when they work that is. Mine is going at the moment but its using just as much petrol as my GTST, which kinda defeats the purpose of buying it... but i do get to fit an arcade machine in the back of the van

I get 420kms to a R33 GTST tank.. but its only pulling 226.9rwhp at the moment :rolleyes:

I'm doing about the same with 225 rwhp! 48 lits for 420km. Which is not too bad, considering the fact that i'm stayin on campus in uni, and i only take her out on the weekends. A take lasts me 2 weeks? :rolleyes: But that will all go down the drain when the avc-r and pfc + new turbo. :D Oh wells, hopin for 300hp in the not so near future. Just can't afford it for now. :mellow:

Dude, these vans are the ultimate machine.. I got a work van, (suzuki carry, holden Scurry) same thing, and the are the hardest thing to kill.. I just beat it every day, started it up, rev the shit out of it, drill it when it's cold, go through the gear box up and DOWN without using the clutch. And it just keeps going.. it's insane

done 350 000 since new, on it's 2 block and 3rd head.. when I got the thing, the head gasket was on it's way, boss told me to keep going till it died in the arse.. well.. when I drove around with the seat up and the radiator cap off, and jsut poored water in it every time I stopped I new it was time to get it fixed. That and you poored the water in the radiator and it came straight out the exhaust. :(

but yeah.. new headgasket and shes on her way again.. damn things are unable to die..

Yeh man it is cool, but i have a problem when I try and start it sometimes. If i put fresh petrol in it from nearly empty, it doesnt start. If i park it on a hill, it doesnt start. I figured out if i leave it for about 2 hours it will start up fine. Im guessing that theres water in the fuel tank and it gets sucked in when it gets swished around the tank. Also its bad on fuel at the moment.

Any ideas?

I know I had to put a new fuel pump on both of the ones we have, the stock one sits just next to the tank, ditch it off and get one from coventries or something, but new fuel pump is defenetly the way to go.. Also a common problem with them is they have trouble starting when it's really hot.. like 32c +

    • @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.
