Hey guys,
its not a silvia, but I got somthing from your good website which will hopefully get fitted to my car soon, heres the trail fit, it was a very old for sale thread on here, which was closed by the moderator when I posted to buy it trying my luck & it paid off in the end. I've just copyied & pasted details from my forum below so somthings may not make sense or be relavant:
Like I said on my previous thread Future Mods brembo brakes, & Skyline bumber Trail Fit.
he
I just trial fitted the alloys by putting them side by side the after I'd fitted the Brembos, let me know which 1's you guys would prefer (Millie Miglia, DGT Chromes or LMGT4's or standard haha, Pics Below-grouped them 4 u guys 2 make it easier), I wana settlie for the Skyline LMGT4's Nismo rims cuz that was my dream lol. Hmm which 18's Should I put on..?
Runnig em on 225/35 's, my tyre prefrence is 225/35/18 at the rear, and 215/35/18 at front, with a 1 inch Spacer Adaptor at the back and approx 1cm shim spacer at front just to get some clearance. Let us know what you guys would do. (If any 1 is intrested in purchasing any alloys/tires, let us no ;)
The bumber:
Its abit of a long story, sorry to bore you guys
I've never really been happy with any n16 bumper avalible to order, then I saw on the N16 Malaysian forums a member put a s15 Trail bumper next to the n16 the fitting looked quite similiar.

I then began a s15 bumper search & came across this.
Rasty R-Spec Front Bumper S13 S14 S15 (http://www.rhdjapan.com/rasty-r-spec-front-bumper-s13-s14-s15-51370)
In total it was costing £950+ then customs risk. I thought I could arrange my own delivery to save some what £300 as they were charging £500+ delivery. I would have been an idiot & prob ended up buying it, but I didn't want to give up so soon & except that, luckily I continued with my searching & found a member on the silvia website who hadnt been on for years I took my chances, but the moderator closed the thread, after my post & thought I was crazy.
Lo & behold 2-3 months later, I get a pm that it was still avalible. Whilst I was on the gtr forums speaking with an importer, who said he would charge me £300 for delivery which would have made it £600ish deliverd.

The member was in the army so he wasn't so active, & he sold his Silvia so the bumper was just sat in the garage for 4 years, I tried to get some quotes for delivery it was lucking good around £240 for but I expected better as it was coming from the States a common country.
I found a website called intercargo, & got a quote for around £100 only & booked it right away, only to realise later I had not changed the units to cms. So the parcel seemed smaller then what it actually was but item was already dispatched on express delivery from DHL.
I did get an email from intercargo that the size was incorrect pay £515 more otherwise it would be sent back, I didnt check my mail for a few days. But in the background DHL was so quick it was in the uk within 24hrs & on my doorstep in under 48 from the USA. I would have said sent it back as I wouldn't have been happy to pay that much, not heard from them been a month.
Sorry for the essay but her it is
The fittings not great but is workable
