Hi Guys,

Sorry, I've decided to stay with the HKS dumps and front pipe, that I already have.

On another note, there is a new set of Trust pipes here in Brisbane for the same price....they cost him $1400 to have imported. The $1100 group buy price is here is a very good deal. The pipes in Bris. here would suit a local buyer...no freight.

regards Phillip

Ok guys, with GTR STI and Beer Baron out we only have 2 definates so unless we can get 3 more people in asap it looks like the buy won't be able to go ahead so if you know anyone that would be interested get them on here.

MSRB26: can we set a cutoff date for this because I would rather not wait multiple weeks in the hope someone appears only for it to fizzle and then loose the benefit of the strong AUD-JPY exchange rate.

Lucien.

I will give it one more week to get interest, if we do not have 5 people by Monday the 11th July the buy will not go ahead. For those who genuinely want to purchase if the group buy does not go ahead i can get you a price on the pipes individually if you want.

Thanks

This group buy is now closed due to lack of numbers.

If anyone would like to purchase a set of these pipes individually please contact me for details.

We may be able to offer this group buy again in the future if we can get the numbers.

Thanks to all who showed interest this time around :rofl:

    • @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.
