Any front end will go on, but it most definitely won't be a straight swap. That is only possible on S13 silvia/180sx because they have the same chassis and doors.

You will need conversion guards, but I doubt anyone makes them, so you'll need to cut up both pairs of guards and join the S15 guards to the cefiro guards. You'll need custom headlight mounting brackets. Don't know if the S15 front bumper reo fits on the cef or not, might need to cut and weld the S15 reo to the cefiro one to fit it. Bonnet, if you are lucky it will fit, otherwise you might need to do something there (like get a fibreglass one and make it longer?)

It's not like this kind of thing hasn't been done before, (think sky-firo, 180-line, s15-80, cef-line), but is going to depend alot on your patience and wallet

BAHAHAHAH sorry, but yeah not even a chance.

The parts that they share with silvias (S13) refers to things like,

front end: shocks, hubs, uprights (hub carrier), brakes, strut brace, control arms, castor arms

rear end: diff, driveshafts, suspension, hubs, uprights, camber/toe/traction arms.

Parts that are shared with skyline, engine and gearbox (slight differences), rear brakes and handbrake, seats.

When it comes to body panels, only thing that comes close to fitting is the laurel, (think laurfiro). Essentially the laurel is the same as a cefiro, except they have a different body shell. But unlike the s13 silvia/180sx, the doors are not the same so you have problems getting the laurel guards to line up with the cefiro doors (they rub and the body lines don't match).

R32 front end?

Dont the ceffie and 32 share the same chassis

Cef's don't have the same chassis as anything except for laurels. There are similarities in certain parts, but like I said before you'll need conversion guards, custom head light mounts among other things.

    • GTSboy, thank you again. i’ve been reading all the other SAU RB25 vacuum line threads and you have the utmost patience for people asking “where do my vacuum lines go”. it’s appreciated. i did also enlist a few other RB guys local to me.  i would like to run 5 to 4. turbo pressure side to wastegate actuator. i would like to run 3 to 1. power steering air valve line to intercooler outlet. (this is how it was previously). i was told 2 is the bleed port for the boost solenoid - which i’m not running - so should be capped.   anyone see any problems with that?    
    • So yes. All of them. Something like 98% of all fuel in the USA has 10% ethanol: https://afdc.energy.gov/fuels/ethanol-fuel-basics It's labelled as like, AKI, 87, 91, 93 with an E10 or E5 or E15 label on the pump. At a certain point, it's not just "E10" instead of 91. It is 91, 95, 98, and all of them have 10% Ethanol in them. You can also get E85 and E30 which is why you do see some people rolling around with E30 tunes in them.
    • Thanks for the response. This is an 04 EP3 Type R. JDM spec. Fairly certain they're just basic BC racing coils. I do plan to keep as the ride quality on stock I've been told is pretty meh given Sydney roads. If I were to go down that avenue, does NSW require them to be a certain spec (close to original) etc?
    • Should have asked what is the car?
    • I've had two super conflicting experiences with blue slips. My 30 year old E39 waltzed through with no issues but my brother in law was knocked back on 12 y/o 3 series due to wiper blades and some cracking in a control arm bush.  What kind of coil overs? Do you want to keep them after?  If it was me I'd get some dirt cheap shocks and springs from eBay or scumtree. Not ideal but will get you over the line and might even be less than $1k.
