I'll probably give the RB26 conversion a miss and keep it stock. Just have to find a place with some good prices on stock internals. There's a couple of mobs around here but I've never bought off them. Just had head work done a few times. From what I've found a crate engines about $5k so I'm hoping to get the parts for it under that

Yeah I'm keeping the Silhouette now. Had a bit of a change in the current circumstances so it's back on now. If it was anything but a Silhouette I'd be happy to help but I wanna hang on to all the parts as they are pretty hard to come by. Apart from the rear bumper mine's in great condition. Only missing the factory cassette player and headphones (and a running engine)

Hey mate,

I parted ways with another car last night and so I'm pulling the pin on this sale now. Sorry to disappoint but I never expected it to happen.

I think it's worth keeping them in the system while you can. They're getting pretty dated now and they're not cheap to fix

Yeah that's right. That's my old daily, the executive. I'm selling off the Silhouette. I haven't tried the R31 club, thanks for the suggestion.

1986 R31 Silhouette parts and shell ex project

Hello all,

 

Up for sale is my 1986 R31 Silhouette ex project car in parts and with the shell. With 2 other cars and renovations, I no longer have time for this project.

The engine and transmission have been pulled from the vehicle. The block has been completely dismantled, the head is untouched. There's 473862 K's on the clock. I have a few other spares including a stock cam shaft, ECU, auto trans computer, RB26 neo head (bought for an RB30DE build, may be a 25 head but don't remember) with adjustable exhaust pulley, RB30E stock exhaust manifold. I drove the car for about 6 months up until I started dismantling it, there were no problems with the transmission, engine, diff... etc but none of it has run for 6 years now. The trans shaft, RB26 cams and RB30 cam all turn by hand.

 

The shell comes complete with the full Silhouette interior, wheels, body, LSD, driveshaft, suspension, bonnet, bumpers, A/C... etc. Slight bump on the passenger side of the rear bumper, otherwise the body is straight and the paint is good. It's been inside a garage underneath a cover, although it's got a bit of dust on it. The interior is in great condition, as far as I'm aware there aren't any tears in it, it's just a little dusty.

 

The following items are for sale:

1986 R31 Silhouette shell, no engine, no transmission - $1000

5 speed manual transmission - $200

RB30E head - $150

RB30E intake manifold - $50

RB30E block and all/any internals - $50

RB30E stock camshaft - $50

RB26 Neo head with adjustable exhaust pulley - $600

RB30E exhaust manifold x 2 -$20 each

89 executive auto ECU - $80

89 executive auto trans computer - $50

Want the whole lot? - $1700

Want something not listed? Just ask, I've probably got it.

Don't like the price? Throw an offer out there, I'm happy to negotiate on everything.

 

I'll update the list if I find any hidden gems, but I've got the whole 89 Silhouette in parts and a bunch of spares from an 89 executive.

As most items are rather large I'd prefer you come and pick it up, but I'm happy to freight it to you at your expense.

 

Everything is located in Albury NSW 2640. Give me a call or text on 0457 502 891 

 

Thanks,

James

Intro from an R31 fan

Hello all,

I've had my fair share of the R31 bug for a long time now. I started out with an 89 executive, bought another 89 and ended up with an 86 Silhouette project car.

I've had plenty of good times with the old R31's and many headaches from 365,000+ Ks on the old daily. I finally parted with my first 89 a few years ago now because I needed the time to work on my project car. I probably spent too much time and money on the 89 but it was a pretty nice car when I was done.

Times have changed a bit now and I don't have the time to spend on the Silhouette. I joined up today so that I could post my Silhouette up for sale in the forums in the hopes that someone else wants to take it on.

I hope you find some enjoyment in the photos of the old daily.

 

Thanks,

James
