Badges...

We're all familiar with current badges/logos.

But does anyone here know when then these other badges/logos were operating or for what periods of time?

I'm presuming correctly aren't I, that there must be some overlapping?

BNR32 enthusiasts. I have just found out that the Omori factory BNR32 inlet pipes are for install at omori only. I tried to order them and they would not sell. Even though I had about 8 thousand dollar parts order lol, so I will have some nice pics in a month or so :). They say NO!!!!! It is because of the customization that is needed to fit them. I guess they don't want shoddy jobs all over the world mis-representing their parts. This is kind of upsetting as I believe the carbon fiber pipes will be the same way once they are released. Which is what I originally wanted. So you are either stuck with stock customized twin turbo pipe, or go aftermarket and lose factory air box. Really disappointing. I think this is a new thing because people have bought them when visiting omori factory personally. They must have changed there minds for some reason. I really do like the look of the Trust air suction kit (which im sure sounds really good to). But I like that stock, nismo, look :( It's a sad sad day......but on the bright side....I got a 2k refund LOL. Maybe i'll just get some suspension arms or something instead.

Unless you ship your car to them for work to be done. Which would be totally awesome....but super expensive lol.

Thats a shame mate, i think with some of the really limited stuff they are getting tired of foreigners cleaning out their stock and having nothing left for their own customers.

You might be able to find a second hand set in the future so keep an eye out. If i see one ill let you know :)

Yes thank you. At this point, if they release carbon intake pipes, I might just save up and ship the car over for engine overhaul and carbon intake pipes. But that would be in the future lol. If I'm going to ship a car to them, I might as well make the trip worth it.

I guess you missed the part where I said engine overhaul lol. Either S2 or just a final spec. Depends really on what it would cost and funds etc. My life style is pretty crazy lol. But there is plenty of things you can have done while its there. If the only way to get these parts, is by them only, then I'll do what I have to do. Custom Omori name plate in the engine bay would be a nice touch also. It's more than a hobby to me. But as far as intake goes, I wouldn't bother for the aluminum. If they come out with carbon pipes and the box, then I would take this idea a little more seriously.

Actually though i saying that...

You avoid the taxes on the new parts if you ship your car in. If you are looking at buying that much worth of stuff, the tax you don't pay probably pays for the shipping.

ah yes I didn't even think of that. Not to mention the shipping of actual part from Japan to USA would have to be added in individual item prices to. So it would probably come close to the same. I know you can get engine overhaul anywhere. But I want a nismo motor(if possible). I basically have all the nismo bolt ons already available to public and GCG hi flowed -7s. I'm waiting till the engine starts to show fatigue though before thinking of crate motor or just general overhaul

    • @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.
