hey guys,

Im just saying hello and would like to introduce myself.

My name is ivan and i have just recently purchased the car i have been dreaming about since high school! My 1996 skyline r33 GTR V-spec. although only a few days old now, i think the car is absolutly fantastic and i think alot of people who think they r just jap crap dont no wot the r missing out on!

Ne way, ive wanted to join a car club, but i wanted it have people who would understand my car as well and help me with it. although i dont understand so well the technical side of cars, im slowly learning and begining to understand.

Hope we can one day all meet and exchange ideas/experiances.

reguards,

Ivan

Depends on where you guys live - bewst option is to look in your relevant state and keep an eye out for upcoming cruises etc.

i think the next major cruise is the Great Ocean Road cruise which i think is in feb next year....dont quote me on it...but early next year i beleive.

Just a note - the SAU Vic Great Ocean Road Cruise will be open to members ONLY.

Welcome aboard Ivan. Sounds like u are living the dream of half the people on here owning what sounds to be a schmik 33 GTR!! Congrats!

P.S. Man not that i really care (being in NSW) but whats is the deal with that last post regarding the Ocean Rd cruise being MEMBERS ONLY...... :D:)

I'm sorry but is that a kind of image you want to set for SAU.....start differentiating bewteen fello members....PFFT i say to that. It's a public road and we should embrace members as equals....who in gods name gives someone the right to determine who can & CANNOT participate in an event. Crusies are about fellow skyline owners getting together and enjoying the experience, NOT be- littling / excluding Non Members!!!!

Understandably Financial members can be looked upon differently when certain ' benefits' are available, but not for a goddamn F&*King cruise!!!!!

Im sorry but this is a joke!!!

Way to go to embrace the SAU 'Community' :)

Dezz mentioned earlier the Great Ocean Road Cruise to be held in Feb.

The above mentioned cruise is an official club cruise organised by SAU Vic Committee - and as such will be only open to financial members of Skylines Australia Victoria.

Plus, CAMS Insurance will only cover the club (public liability) if all drivers are members.

lol seems fair to me. drastically reduces the chances of dick heads tagging along and ruining the cruise by being absolute wankers, and showing us what their car can do, which is no more than the slowest of cars on the cruise can do anyway.

      Shoota's R33 GT-R RB30/26

      @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! 🤣

      S15 Spec R

      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.

      R33 fuel setup

      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.
