P.O.P = proof of purchase ie. receipts to show its wholesale your getting

but yeah 500 sounds good just have to organise conversion kit unless you can find a full r33 kit that does not need to be fixed ie new clutch and stuff :P

i doubt that you will find a "kit" as such, but if you source a half decent quality twin plate, that will do the job nicely...

you will need at least:

pedalbox

clutch slave/line/master

gearbox

xmember

gearstick

consol section that is from a manual.

flywheel

dust cover(behind the sump...bolts to belhousing.

that should do it.

im not aware that the computer needs mod/changing...i'd have to check up on that one.

i cant source it any cheaper or easier than you can...sadly i dont have any contacts in that area... but buy all means get a quote for the parts and ill check whether i can get it cheaper up here...

dont quote me but im pretty sure your computer may need to be changed....as it wont understand your gear changes or something, i may well be wrong. Besides ppl run na computers in turbo cars, its all about the dodgyness Aaron, you should know this :P

Unless you plan on running some more modifications eg: performance gear. You won’t need to change the auto ECU, yet.

You should be fine with the auto ECU if you’re only planning on doing turbo back exhaust, FMIC ect. I'm lead to believe (well with S13's anyway) when using the auto ecu in a manual it'll still be injecting X amount of fuel even though the clutch is in, and your changing gears, where as in the auto obviously your foot is still on the gas when the auto changes. If you can follow what I mean?

I used the auto ECU with my auto>manual S13 and didn’t have any problems if that helps.

that doesn t sound right the way i understand it, this is only true when flat changing......cos if you foot is on the clutch then your right foot is off the throttle, hence computer stops pouring fuel in...throttle position sensor takes care of that

i just checked up and computer doesnt need changing/modding....

and you need to change the instrument cluster as well.

also i can get the complete list of parts for the job, for 2800.....

look around tho im sure someone can beat that.

Ah yes, Ns.com did my wrong agian. :cheers:

Hey V8

How much do you charge to fit a oil catch tank???I live in Heritage Pak which is somewhere near you.

your talking about an oil catch can???? They are extremely easy to install if thats what your talking about. Btw I was about to pm you asking where you got the JUN front bar from and who painted and fitted it?

    • @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.
