Intrested in your 040.

How hard to put this pump into a 32 GTR, where could I get the parts and bracket required as you state that this does not come with one.

Should there be no major problems fitting it then I will take it.

Ian,

Not 100% on the 32 GTR, but here is a DIY I found for a R32 GTST.

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/In...mp;hl=bosch+040

Shouldn't be too much of a difference between the two models I believe.

I used some pipe clamps and bit of rubber hosing without too many dramas, took me about an hour all up.

You can use the current bracket in your car.

More like you agreed to sell it to me then reneged at the first opportunity you got.

We had a deal mate. At no point did I say I wasn't going to buy it, just because I missed your call is a piss-poor excuse to pull out of it.

no you missed our arranged meet time at my mate's place. i don't live in the area anymore and took the morning off and waited 4 hours only for you to stand me up. i called you and sent you a text without a reply until 3 hours later.

if you decide to wake up with a hangover and not show up at the arranged time and place, then that is your problem. you are right, at no time did you say that you weren't going to buy it - however a no show on your part without notification is clearly rude and i simply assumed that you were no longer interested.

it's my fuel pump and i'll decide whom i sell it to, you wasting my morning is enough for me not to sell it to you.

Mate, you weren't there for me. You had previously stated that you would be there by coincidence on other business so don't make out that it was me that asked you to be there and I left you standing there with nothing to do. Where you were was actually nowhere at all near where I live and I had said I was happy to meet you whenever, wherever so just because I didn't make it there on the morning didn't mean I couldn't make whatever journey necessary to meet you. I have a car with free petrol so it really wouldn't of bothered me.

What seems more likely to me is that one of your mates decided he wanted to buy it, so you decided you'd renege on the deal we had made and use this as an excuse.

you agreed to be at my mate's place prior to 12:00, i get a text from you saying that you slept in at 15:00.

i had sold the gauges to Josh (Turbo 33) whom was polite enough to send me a text that he was on his way, he had come early to buy the gauges and i could have easily gone done other things had i known you weren't going to show.

how is the fact that you failing to show, return my call and replying to my text is supposed to be an indication that you still wanted the item? get real mate, i was at his place clearing out my items and had the pump waiting for you right till 13:00, you make it out that i am the rude one by selling it out under you and i do apologise for doing so, but you are equally at fault for not notifying me that you were not coming and if an alternative arrangement could be made.

you have to come to understand that i had other buyers who were on hold because i told them you were coming to get it. if our deal fell through (which was my choice to make in this case) then they would be next in line.

regardless this no longer concerns you, your actions still show that you have not matured one bit.

    • @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.
