Mmm, tough one. This is the best I could come up with: http://page4.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/d50346544 PGZ31 complete engine, the guy will strip parts off by request, but he'd rather sell the lot together.

I way too busy to help out on this one, maybe one of the other guys can?

Thanks for the link!

I doubt I would sell the sump off a motor I was selling though.

Are there any dedicated Nissan wreckers/RB motor specialists/Z wreckers about?

Hopefully somewhere between Nagoya and Tokyo?

OK, does anyone feel kind enough to contact this seller at [email protected] and see if he will part out the engine?

My nihongo is non existent.

I will pay pretty much the value of the motor for a few of the parts freighted to either Toyota or Hamamatsu cities:

200ZR Sump with oil pick up

EFI loom with all the sensors on the ends

ECU if available

200ZR Engine mounts

and any other small bits of any value like the BOV etc

It would only be fair that I will also pay some sort of finders fee to anyone who can help me out, the less the parts go for the bigger the finders fee.

Thanks guys.

UPGARAGE pretty much laughed at me when they worked out I was looking for PGZ31 parts...but I didnt manage to walk out with good condition used R32 RB20DET ECU and a MOMO Race steering wheel, two items not on my to do list. Ther seemed pretty reluctant on using their fantastic eomputer network to find me a Z32 AFM as well, although they had heaps of GTR ones for Y2990.

Anyways, can anyone suggest where I should look for PGZ31 parts, i.e cars being wrecked etc? even if I have to get them to freight it across to Toyota city. I have found quite a few whole cars for sale which under normal circumstances I would just buy and strip for the prices they sell for, but I am quickly running out of time in this visit and am unsure if I am returning after Christmas.

I did contact the seller of the engine in the above posted auction, he was willing to part out the motor but not any of the main bits I wanted being the sump and mounts.

Thanks guys

    • @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.
