Evidence of a former leak on a rear strut.

It came off my R32 GT-R as it arrived in Aust.

4) R32 Interior Trim that goes around the B and C Pillars.

The story with these is that I've had new ones from Nissan installed; but the Motor Trimmer says that my former ones can be salvaged.

I don't have pics but they'll be finished by Saturday 25th April. $160 for the pair.

5) GReddy Gracer Side Skirts - one piece type. $400

I only dropped them off today for the skin to be heated, stretched and reapplied. I'll take pics on pickup on 25th April or so. If they look good they'll be less than half new price. I guess the skin wasn't brittle because the car had only done 50,000 Km

Those Nismo S-Tune's are tempting me.

My GTS4 sedan would sit like a boss w/ them, hmmm...

You'll be hearing from me.

Edit: are they rebuildable; if they require it? If leak isn't too bad (you mentioned 'former'), I'm reading they're quite streetable.

Also, these are non-HA right?

S-Tune suspension can be rebuilt. That single strut just needs to be checked before going down that path. I'd get a quote from Heasman. Meanwhile they are stored in the vertical and no leaks are currently visible.

Thanks for your gentleman gentlemanly response deongster. It looks as if those trims are reserved depend depending on the success of the trimming job. No news is good news.

    • @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.
