Hey guys an gals,

Thought i would throw up some pics of the order of carbon fibre bits and pieces i just received from Matt from Newera imports (Legend).

So i am in the process of revamping my R32 Gtr, both engine wise and externally. Whilst im stock piling all the parts for my new tune i thought i would also look at the cosmetics of the car.

So i bought wheels (Rota), steering wheel (OMP), shifter (Nismo duracon), changed recaro drivers back to stock for a clean interiror look but was looking for a bit more outside the car.

Got speaking to Matt from Newera IMports and he sent through photos of all the carbon bits for my car and we got talking.

Rear Spat: Same as N1 rear skirt/spat but in carbon fibre.

I love carbon fibre on cars but i def know that you can over do carbon fibre.

So my car is Gun metal grey and the carbon is noticeable but it isnt 'balls out' or way out there.

This goes on the car along with a N1 rear lip, front carbon lip as original one has been damaged (coming) and some window deflectors.

All in all the craftsmanship and overall quality is impecable, better than what i had expected.

SO a BIG BIG thank you to Matt and the team from NEWERA IMPORTS. great great service and impecable shipping, care and product knowledge.

Thanks!

stay tuned: will be posting pics of the parts fitted real soon!

    • @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.
