Sneeza Posted February 24, 2003 Author Share Posted February 24, 2003 So an S15 is the new 200sx type front then? And an S14 is the silvia front? Adam - that pic looks awesome! But wouldn't it be harder to find that front end?

memphis Posted February 24, 2003 Share Posted February 24, 2003 Yeh do it! s15 front would be rarish, but not impossible to source. well worth doing if you can do without ya car for a few weeks. s14 silvia is still a newer model, i *think* the front still looks similar to the s15?. the s13 is the older kind (1992 etc) at least it would be unique hey Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/10979-sileighty-conversion/page/2/#findComment-180226 Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTS-t VSPEC Posted February 24, 2003 Share Posted February 24, 2003 Won't be much harder, but possible a bit more expensive. S15's are the latest incarnation of the Silvia. They have a much nicer appearance in my opinion. C-red will be able to help you there aswell.

GTS-t VSPEC Posted February 24, 2003 Share Posted February 24, 2003 Sneeza, better to walk than go in a Commodore:p I'll also speak to Simon at Works Auto, who I think is doing Aidwin's car, and see what price they can do one for.

ix9 Posted February 25, 2003 Share Posted February 25, 2003 How about going to an RAC repairer, but convincing them a silvia front will be cheaper to fit and repair (not impossible) You can get a sileighty conversion that way ? I wouldn't push it for S15 parts tho' Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/10979-sileighty-conversion/page/2/#findComment-181923 Share on other sites More sharing options...

NO_RSPECT Posted February 25, 2003 Share Posted February 25, 2003 okay well if you want to contact RAC speak to your claims officer and ask them if you are able to get another quote to fix your car. because you want to take it to a friend who you know does good work. Then if you can afford, pay a towie $60 or so and tow it elsewhere SAY C-RED for example and get them to do it all. Try to squeeze how much rac is paying for your repairs or what the quote is from your repairer. You can most times call your repairer who RAC authorised and talk to the reception chick and ask her for a copy of the quote for your memorabilia of your car cos you keep records of everything. Suss out with c-red against the cost from the RAC repairer and walla ask C-red to make it cheaper. They can claim up to the RAC repairer cost if it goes over and you pay c-red the difference. phew there ya go. I did this with my lancer GSR, got a full bodykit fitted for the cost that Lombardi brothers quoted just to fix some damage on my driver door and interior console etc and then i sourced the console stuff for $50 out of my pocket, bargain mate hehe its all good fun tihs insurance crap. They are gonna pay out that amount regardless so why not work it in your favour. anyways jeff or glen or greg will know what i am talking about and you might be able to convince them you can also try ground FX in malaga they are an insurance repairer and can prolly do this, speak to tony. oh yeah and you gotta act fast and take RAC by storm ...baby yeah!!
