I'm getting a skyline gts-t front to put on my 97 240sx. The gtr is quite a bit larger than the 240, so thats out of the question. I've got a deal on a gts-t front (free, yay!) and was debating whether to keep it and put it on my car, or sell it. I'd like to know the differences between the front of the gtr and gts25t, mainly the front fenders. Whats the width of the front of both cars? for comparison. Thanks for any help! :)

Get rid of it, and buy a S15 front! 240 with skyline front looks ugly!!

I think the silvia front is stupid looking on 240s, its too plaid out. This is free (i have a ****ed up front anyway) and will raise the value of my car, since I'm selling it. The s15 front costs 3500 bucks, this is free and would sell for $1k if I'm lucky.

to convert S13 to 15 front isn't that hard, what u need is a pair of S15 gaurd. after market front bar(u can choose standard, but would u?) and a bonnet, even the bonnet is carbon fibre, they won't even cost close to a$3500!! sell yr R33 front at $us1000 and source the gaurd,bonnet, front bar, i GUESS would be about us$1500?

I would personally dump the price even further down if you have GTS-t fronts from on your 240s... that's a tell tale sign that your car may have been trashed or accident damaged in the past and you ended up have to use fronts from other cars cause you can't find the genuine replacement...

If you want to increase the sales value, stick with a genuine 240s front, with hi quality repairs, you can cover any signs of car was trashed or in the accident.

im in america, this front end swap sells for ALOT of money. a car with it done sells for quite a bit more. people swap front parts all the time. it wont drop the price of my car.

Ok then, fair enuf.

Gee, you americans are funny... :-)

Maybe that explains why honda civics and camrys are very popular there with flashy body kits and different tail lights, head lights and everything....

thats not cuz we're funny, thats cuz our population of stupid people is high. i despise the majority of honda owners, because most of them are stupid and make their cars into freaks of nature. the only reason im interested in using the r33 front is because its free so it saves me money, and it will raise the value of my car, since i might be selling it really soon.

the gtr front-made of aluminium, has a wider guard, wheel arches are slightly flared, grilloe is different and it looks more agressive. In my opinion if u put a r33 gts25t nose on ur 240SX it will look crap(no offense if u thought it would look good) ur better off putting a strawberry face kit on it.

      DeAgostini 1/8 scale BNR32 Nissan Skyline GT-R Nismo

      By Rezz · Posted

      Starting with issues 1 - 5, we have already run into a problem...!  Issue #4 contained 2x front brake calipers, instead of 1 caliper and 1x steering knuckle. Will have to call DeAgostini on Monday to sort it out. Anyway here's some photos.  Issue #1 is the front bumper, headlights and number plate. Issue #2 is the front wheel (with "We produced with spartan air." text on the centre cap!) and tyre, the front lip spoiler and cylinder head cover with ignition coils under the centre cover... which will never be seen again. Issue #3 is the bonnet and cylinder head. Issue #4 is the front strut, brake disc (with laser etched metal discs) and brake caliper. I stopped here because of the issue with the missing steering knuckle.  Next update will be #5 - #10 in a few weeks.

      DeAgostini 1/8 scale BNR32 Nissan Skyline GT-R Nismo

      DeAgostini is one of a few companies that release quite large (the largest commonly available size actually) 1/8 scale models in a series of weekly issues over 100 - 110 instalments.  They release different models for different markets and DeAgostini Japan have release the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo last month. I've made two of these 1/8 scale sized cars (one an R35 GT-R from 2012 - 2014, the other I'm just about halfway through, a BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the 2Fast 2Furious movie) so when this R32 was announced there was no way I could ignore it as it's my favourite out of all Nissans.  Each issue costs around $20 so it costs about $2.2K when completed. I suppose it is very expensive for what it is, but the quality and details are really very good, and there are many "gimmicks" like fully functioning exterior and interior lights operated with a remote control, working steering, all doors/bonnet/boot/fuel lid open and close, the side mirrors fold in and it even has a speaker for the engine revving sounds when you turn the lights on.  Each issue comes with a magazine that tells the story of the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo from the first design stages of the BNR32 to Group A homologation and the various racing version that were run in the Japanese Group A and JGTC, and Australian Group A.  So I plan to update the build in this thread 5 issues at a time.  https://deagostini.jp/r32/?srsltid=AfmBOooKjxDc4EUK2rmXqMBPgyHfFJ24s4oEPJBNpnF-lFlsRoW0PE6P

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      This would be a new pump with new gears. I'm just unclear on whether it's a good idea to run more oil pump flow if you don't actually need said flow. Oil level is set a minute or so after shutting off a warm engine so wouldn't the high RPM oil level in the sump end up lower all things equal? Plan is OEM clearances, main concern in my mind is whether the OEM pump can keep up with the flow requirements of any additional oil coolers.
