same, upgraded from a silvia as well because i just wanted a nice daily driver rather than a car that would just be either sedate or completely insane, but never anything in between.

Just out of curiosity do you guys enjoy driving the FTO more than the Silvia? How different is it?

I had a Silvia S13 during 98-2000, no one knew what they were then, especially when it was a limited edtions, it came with factory nismo front, LSD, Super-HiCas (same as S15), Digital head up display, different interior, & a slightly faster engine. I know the new owner had turn it into a 2.2L monster.

It was a donuts king, thats where i learn to do donuts & drift the crap out of every corner, & all my passenger understand the important of a sit belts ahahahaha

Compare to the FTO, the brakes aren't as good, in Jap & HK, all Silvia have a nickname of "All go but no stop". Since my one got all the extra goodie from factory, it was a good little mover, i have to say, it corner just as well as the stock FTO. The limited edition certainly spoon up faster then stock spec too. It pull away from any other Silvia & 180sx easily, so it is faster then the FTO on straight.

The interior in the Silvia looks old & dated, & the styling is nothing special either, its like a noodle box on the move.

While the FTO will always maintain the slick look & the interior still look "fresh" even its 10yrs old now

I tried to buy stuff from Kempy's and sent them an email the other week and they never got back to me. How much would you think it'd cost to send a car wreck from NZ to AUS Schumi?

It's good to know there are people out in NZ who can help. The other dude went to the UK! (Sorry afterburner) hehehe! Maybe you can hook up with the parts I need that you just can't get here.
