G'day Fellas,

If you are stressed about whether or not a Nissan Technician put an "Autech" sticker on a car during initial build... then this is not the car for you. In fact, a stock car is probably more your speed. In saying that, you could always spring for the extra couple of bucks to buy an Autech sticker... because we all know that Nismo and Autech stickers add kW like there's no tomorrow :laugh:

There's just not that many Autech's modified to this level, and any that are for sale asking similar prices generally have either some pretty low level mods done to fuel/boost, or have significant problems... and simply aren't even in the same performance ballpark. This has had so much more integrated than simply dropping an RB26 in it!

If you're searching for that Autech that's as complete a package as this car, you're simply gonna have to pay a lot more dollars. Sometimes expectations just need to be adjusted.

But, to show I listen to the punters, here's a price reduction for ya...

$22,000 ono

110,153km on the clock

Will be doing the 6 monthly oil & filter service in the next couple of weeks (travelled less than 450km since Jan).

If you are about badges over substance, go buy a Mercedes!

6 month Oil and Filter service done today at 110,210km. Used Penrite 10 Tenths Racing 10-40W oil the std Ryco Z56B, plus a dose of MBL-8.

$21,900 ono

put that tax return to good use!

Back from interstate, and have just renewed registration for another 6 months.

I have to sell the car now, it's costing too much in unused rego, insurance and 6 monthly maintenance.. so price reduction time:

$20,300

only 110,341km

HKS 2530's freshly reconditioned by GCG in Sept 13!

  • 4 months later...

I can't believe this is still here!
Still the best Stagea I've come across, unfortunately it was out of my price range when I was shopping, but surely SOMEONE with the funds and appreciation for this vehicle is around!!??!

Car price has been reduced to $19,000. Probably should have posted that a while back, oops.

Car is almost SOLD... just waiting for funds transfer in early June. This time is a genuine sale

Thanks for the props fellas. The fact this car hasn't been sold until now is purely a reflection of the used import turbo market over the past 12 months. Heaven if you are a buyer... demoralising if you are a seller.

    • @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.
