hey guys, just moved to Sydney from Townsville, still in a motel actually. lol

Anyway, when the car removal guys took the 32 off the truck at the Townsville depot, they ripped one of the freshly painted sideskirts off, so now we are waiting for that to be fixed and sent down.

@DR 32R - Rear quarters came out fine man, rubbed them right down and reprimered and painted.

If anyone is interested in buying this 32, throw me an offer as its just sitting in my garage gathering dust, just needs camber arms, coilovers and hicas lock bar to be installed (hicas kit will be included in sale)

there is slight cracks in the paint in some parts of the joins of the rear guards.

all offers welcome.

can be sold with or without wheels

no reg or rwc

ok if nobody wants to buy, can everyone just put in your 2 bob to what you think it is worth.

after you spend so much money on a project, its hard to put a figure to it when selling.

so lost interest or had enough of trying to build a car?

to be honest take what you have put into it and write that off. you will get what you paid for it pretty much. everyone sees these cars as old drift hacks now.

in my case I do not intend to sell mine. I am at $20k in bits and still going. would I get that back IF I sold it in pristine new condition. nup.

Yeah i have written off what i put into it. ($15k)

Just trying to find out what people would pay for it.

and yeah, I dont have enough time to finish it because of my work and i've moved into a smaller house so no room for a trailer.

I'm currently in Afghanistan so nothing is happening with it at all.

thought work may have something to do with it.

I keep mine elsewhere and when I have funds and money I work on it.

My daughter has an interest in it as well as it is her first car and she knows it.

advertise it for what you paid. chalk it up as lesson learned.

Well... 10 years later its a completely different world but I'm going to look at a 180sx today.
Hopefully I do better than the R32 and finish this one.

I ended up selling the R32 for $3,500 in 2013. Ouch.

    • @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.
