1989 Silhouette

I'll update the thread in the coming days with current photos and more detail but with sadness the silo has to be sold to make way for another '31.

Sale price for $6500 with a set of GTS1 wheels, other details are below:

Projector headlights - HID 5000k low beam

Jap 'GTS' grille

Autospoiler running on limit switches

Resprayed front/rear end and boot

Remote central locking with immobiliser

Remote trunk opener

Pedders lowered suspension

Custom front strut/tower bar

Whiteline front/rear sway bars

Whiteline adjustable panhard rod

New steering rack / front control arms (2006)

Stock engine/driveline

Extractors/sports exhaust

Dark window tint

50mm shortened shifter

Original immaculate interior

LED lights in front bar, license plate lights, footwell lights, door step lights and in boot area

Stereo:

Pioneer CD head unit

16cm 2way pioneer front speakers

17cm 3way pioneer rear speakers

5mm MDF rear parcel shelf with original insulation to underside and black carpet topside

I have reciepts from when I bought it and it's in excellent condition overall. For the last few years it's been a second car and sits in the garage for weeks on end. The front end (steering/suspension) was rebuilt prior to the '06 nationals and the diff was changed prior to the '08 nationals. The only visual mark on it is a scratch down the passengers side but it's been there since I've had it and would be an easy touch-up

Rego is current till about August and I'll need to keep the rego plates off it.

When attending one of Skylines Australia NSW events please try to: • Be aware of surrounding environment and act accordingly. • Drive courteously on the state’s roads as a true enthusiast should. • Understand how important it is to maintain the good name of SAU NSW and thus, treat others accordingly. • Any misbehavior will not be tolerated and you will be asked to leave.
    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
    • Also wanted to say, my new spark plugs are blackened looks like it's very rich. I have splitfire coilpacks but stock coilpack loom and ignitor. I tried directly grounding the ignitor ground to body as well.
