when i first bought it (in 2006) it had a rb20 in it, that motor lasted about a year, then bought a stock series2 r33 half cut and got the motor out of it and droped it in, with in the first week of getting it running again with new motor , i copped a yellow sticker (defect notice) and smashed my diff as well, then depression started kicking in and just didnt want to deal with the car no more. untill now.

brodie7- Cheers man, was gonna get a sr22det which made 600hp in jap land but the guy wouldnt want to part with it lol, but the rb25 is still good.

matt77- ok im gonna try to make this sound simple, keep in mines these are perth prices and this was about 2 years ago, so will vary if your not from here

R33 manual series 2 half cut- $2800

labour to do conversion-$1500

custom tailshaft-$700

suspension- came with car but go for around $800 second hand for tein's

diff-$650-700 for a second hand 2way

bosch 040 fuel pump $200 ish (new)

you would also need a cefiro crossmember, there probably around $200-$250 (only guessing), dont know what previous owner did to mine to make the rb20 fit

my car made (on stock turbo) 229.7rwhp (sumthing like that) on 10psi, catback exhaust,front mount cooler,pod, stock front/dump pipe with major hole (very bad leak), and had a flat spot from 3500rmp to 4500rmp (round there), but still went hard

abit pricey conversion but worth it, but you gotta remember you have to get your cluster (both km/h and rpm) recalibrated due to the the big gear box, and goin 6cylinder, also would need to run thermo fans too, hope that help, if you want more info let me know

cheers chris

    • @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.
