theres the kit for the GTS 4door, always wanted one of those if i was keeping the r31. try powerplay (i dont know any contact details) as they can get kits from japan for the r31..

saw a drift style bonnett from japan that was $1000 that i would have killed for...by the way do you have a 2 or 4door r31?

HOW & WHERE do you get these bits.

The links often don't work and I have been trying to get a Passage GT rear wing for my R30 for months.

I get told all these stories about everyone takes them off, but I can't find one for sale.

An R31 GTS-X rear spoiler would be cool as well or in lieu.

The side skirts would also fit the R30's.

I've been chasing a Passage rear spoiler for almost 2 years now.

I even drove all the way to Bendigo because i was assured that the seller had the one i was after, and when i got there it turned out to be a gts-x wing.

Talk about pissed off.

I got on to one in Melbourne about 12 months ago, as per attachment. It turned out the person selling was a kid of 16 and we agreed on a deal of $220.00 delivered to me in Sydney, but he procrastinated for about 8 weeks and eventually said he had someone in Melbourne to buy it for the full amount $220.00 and he didn't have to wear the postage.

And then I was pissed off, and have been looking ever since again.

I know how you feel.

That place is in USA, the freight would be a killer. Probably better trying to get from R31 House in Japan.

Go have a look at Fibremaster at Arndell Park, they have all the old GS Motorbodies moulds. www.fibremaster.com.au

      Shoota's R33 GT-R RB30/26

      @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.

      R33 fuel setup

      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.
