Must be willing to ship to the United States. Will do my best to make it worth the trouble. Cash and anything from the US you can't get in Australia...if there is anything. :P

May also consider RB25DET, SR20DET, and RB20DET clips/motors if you want to get rid of them.

What about a 180sx, stripped and fully prepped with full suspension setup, rolling with no engine

Both of you guys throw up some pics or e-mail them to me at

with a price and a shipping estimate. I've gotten shipping estimates from GCT autos in Japan and they quoted me $2,100 to any port in the US. Seemed a little high...hopefully you guys could do better. :D

would it be worth ur while. what do skylines for for in the US? lets say r33 gts-t full car low k's stock. how much in the US (without compliencing)? This could be turn into a profitable business?? maybe playin the exchange rate at the same time :)

I'm importing for myself and to help my future business.

But, I would think it would be easy to sell them in the US....there is definitely a market depending on how much it will be to obtain them. I'm definitely interested if you think you can supply them for a reasonable cost.

I would think that a rolling chassis over here might bring $8,000-$10,000 US dollars. With engine installed and registered....maybe $20,000 for an R32, $25,000-$30,000 for an R33. US Dollars. Those are educated guesses...no guarantee.

whoa! OMG. now thats profitable. If i was u and had the capital. Fly to Japan with lets say US$50k, bring back about 20 cars or so and BAM! u'll have about half a million in ur pocket if u can sell the cars at the price u just stated. ANywayz before u do that, u want to buy my r33 gts-t?

Probably a little steep for me right now, but I believe my cousin (who is my business parntner) may want to.

Since he is in the US as well, you will have to remove the motor. Of course, he really wants a GT-R. I'll ask him though.

    • @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.
