I would really love to import a two-tone Silvia, but the CA would have to go by the wayside almost immediately. Beautiful car though, what options did it come with?

ingmar F · 11-10-2014, 01:56 PM

What is the wheel and tire size on your Silvia?

many thanks

It doesn't matter what ones we like the most. its what you like the most, however I beleive that if your going to rock a 2 tone 240, paint it the original colors it came with. to me, that looks like the Platinum Blue metallic ( going by the door )

Remember, we only look at it and click away, you gotta look at it and live with it because you paid for it.

Big Zee · 11-12-2014, 06:33 PM

Deolio, what rear spoiler do you have ?

No saving this one, they will not release the car unless i want to buy it piece by piece. But even then they will not release the chassis as a whole. So that one that will be parted then crushed.

What did that cost to get state side?

I don't really like to talk numbers. I've got less than 13K in it tho. It was almost a grand to register it with the prestige tag and taxes.

I'd say you've never owned one fully intact. I've had SR's RB20's and 25's series 1's and 2's. This thing is really peppy. Just sayin' I had the same ideas while I was waiting on her to get here. Needless to say I've changed my mind.

They are 16x7.5 with 205/50 and 16x8.5 with 225/55 iirc.

Thanks. I feel the same way lol. I'm really liking the positive attention the car is getting.

jaysgottaredtop · 11-14-2014, 03:14 PM

Local guy is selling this. It originally was a Seafoam two-tone. The bay is still Seafoam, etc.

Anyway, just FYI in case one of you wants to return it to its former glory.

Z_Spool · 11-14-2014, 04:48 PM

The fact that RB's and CA's both like to run so hot and the SR has greater aftermarket support, found my opinion. I'm not saying the CA is a bad engine, I'd just rather have the SR. If I were to do it I'd probably just swap engines and enjoy flogging on the CA in my current coupe at the track. That being said, you missed my question... what options did she come with? Pics of the interior perhaps?

deolio · 11-14-2014, 06:45 PM

preserving (no two-tones were harmed)

hudsontec · 11-14-2014, 10:46 PM

My bad I did miss you question. It came with the dead man pedal, seatbelt extensions, and cupholder armrest. I'll post interior pics tomorrow.

motteramm · 11-15-2014, 09:28 AM

Finally got a high rez shot of my two tone.

Still can't decide if I like the Silvia small letter grill or the GT-R style grill on it better..

Big Zee · 11-17-2014, 09:07 AM

^ love it!

souljaseth33 · 11-17-2014, 06:34 PM

This is where I am currently at with my dohc two tone.. Just got it running yesterday!

Wake · 11-17-2014, 11:14 PM

Mine is going under a cover until i finish my other coupe. (white one was the Gf"s, she gone)

Big Zee · 11-17-2014, 11:19 PM

^ sold the car or the gf ? haha
I like those wheels on your 240, they look good

GTR grill.

Not color matched.

Black is best.

10psitx · 11-18-2014, 09:08 AM

Picked up another one about 2 months ago, Plans include All new suspension, engine swapped to Red top SR, new Wheels, Silvia front.

Also added Cusco strut tower bars front and rear to my other one

Finally clean up the Tape residue off the hood

That should be the rule for all GTR grills ever.

ksharp · 11-18-2014, 01:12 PM

Just picked this one up 2 days ago! 80,000 original miles!

acslater9 · 11-18-2014, 08:37 PM

Found this two tone in Craigslist. Looks like it needs a lot of work. Someone save it. He's looking to get 1k firm.

Yikes. That's a $500 car at best. Would probably cost around $3000 to get it to look halfway decent again. Looks rusty and I wouldn't be surprised if it had frame damage. No bueno.

His asking price. He wasnt taking any less. I thought it was fair for the condition and the amount of work and parts put into it.

They will be going up for sale shortly and replaced with regas. But like I said I am trying to finish my other coupe first. So I wont be buying parts for the 2tone for a while. I have BNIB silvia fenders waiting to go on it.

acslater9 · 11-21-2014, 06:34 PM

Found a couple of two tones in Las Vegas.
