Custom S13 Rear End? Possible?

[madskidz]

hey guys,

im looking at building an s13 silvia drift car....im thinking rb25det, 180sx front & r32 rear end.

now im not concerned about the 180 front or rb25....only about the r32 rear end...here are my questions.

1) can it be done?

2) if it can be done, how difficult is it & what needs to be done?

if you have attempted this or know someone who has plz get in contact with me.

would of posted on ns.com, but thought i'd try here first.....aslo tried search but nothing came up.

cheers

Andrew

Never heard of anyone attempting to put a 32 end on a s13/silvia before. If you've got the money, anything can be done. Wouldn't have a clue how easy/hard it would be, but I've never seen it done so I'm going to say it'll cost quite a lot, or it's a hard job.

I've seen R32 rear lights crammed into a 180sx, complete custom fabrication which shouldn't be too hard if you're handy and have nothing better to do.

There's also been at least 1 fairly good attempt chucking an R32 front end on an S13 chassis which worked alright, so that can be done.

As for the rear, theres nothing off the shelf which I can think of to make this easy, about the only thing that 'may' work is an R32 widebody kit with a fairly humongous amount of fiddling put into the anchor points where it bolts on. Bumper would be much the same case, modified bit of aftermarket kit.

I sort of shudder to think of the amount of bog and glass it'll require to hide the gaps... then, being a drift car, it's gunna get f**ken smashed into something sideways and yep, well, kinda rich to fix.

well i actually seen an s13 silvia wif an r32 rear end on a D1 dvd & yer im hooked but yer, i was hoping things would bolt on but owell

It would be far easier and cheaper to stick a 180 front on an R32. Plus the engine swap would be a bit less hassle too.

Are you sure it wasn't a r32 with a silvia front that you saw? that would be alot easier.

engine swap + rear end... like everyoen said just get an R32 and slap the s13 front on it..... i dont think that would look good because the s13 front is narrower .... i just cant see it as a good mix.

well if it wasn't a silvia, im from pluto nar, i compared an r32 & an s13 on my comp to verify it was an s13....guess i was hoping i could do it, but luck doesn't seem to be on my side

not going for looks, as it will be a drift car....so yer dunno yet **edit: just realised why am i going for 32 rear end if not for looks? well guess i want it to be unique**

Ryan "Jilted" from SilviaWa made one here in perth about two years ago. First one in Australia we believe.

It is easier to put R32 lights into a 180sx as the shapes are the same and it requires extensive modification to the low garnish under the lighs ie a custom made one of garnish.

But it has been done...

Pretty sure funkymonkey had a 32 GTR front on his 180. It looks 'different'.
