Thanks man, do you know which photo it was on specifically? or the Dealers name?

Here is the comment i saw this morning

'Michael Coleman ‎@ Kyle Icely It definitely has not sold out. Media is misinformed. There is still a few available. [email protected]

It's the most recent picture detailing the pricing with the red 86 picture

Yeah found it, thanks mang

In other news, got 26 days to buy all the shit I need for work (tools etc) so I can claim em in this years return lol

Lol Dezzmang with his billion receipts gonna cause me my first ATO in over 800 clients.

(not srs)

(semi-srs)

really diggin this type of canopy, looks pricey though

I found those pointless for a canopy though, you lose about half the space of a box canopy for a little bit of fuel economy, which would be sfa anyway. Even more pointless if your running muddies on the car too

looks good rimon, arb good quality just claim it on tax? (can you?)

Sure if its used for work. It will be claimed over its effective life rather than outright.

win

Saw a Navara at work with a similar setup, looked good

only ever seen it once on a white hilux outside ARB on mahoneys rd. stands out

more so for the styling than practicality. less space than box canopy but more space than just hard cover so good compromise imo

only downside is the glass top. hail storm = byebye canopy

This Navara looked alright...Had like a Hummer style grill too, didn't know what car it was at first lol

It had a Derrimut gym sticker on the back, so it's from around my area I'm guessing...If I see it at work again or at gym I'll get a photo

yeah see in that case it's making me prefer the box canopies even more because they are fiberglass too

at a guess I would say those glass ones are heaps more expensive too, just doesn't seem worth it

get price too kthx

i'm seeing a rediculous amount of mini "moster truck" spec'ed pick ups on the road these days. must be the new thing. only a matter of time before they start putting flutterz in em lol

i'll see if they make em with a hard top instead of the glass. box canopy just makes it look like a landcruiser :/

I think it's he kind of car you'd use as a daily and on the weekends through the twisties - all the journalists who have driven it seem to rave about the handling and how the power is sufficient, so maybe it's not that bad to drive. I've driven slow cars before with tough little engines and they are very fun despite being slow. It'd be no traffic light hero, but the thing will keep pace in the corners. Still, crossing fingers they put that turbo FA20 from the Legacy GT into it...

    • @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.
