yeah but how much do you wanna spend. when the strawberry face kit first came out it cost 12 grand to buy, fitment was extra. now the fibreglass copies go for 5 grand.

I reckon the z32 front on a 180sx would go well, since they've both got similar styling.

why an RB20det for such a bigg and heavy car ?

Thats what was in the car when he bought it... I don't think the R32 GTS-T is a big heavy car.

So, i guess no-one knows if i can just bolt the panels on then?

My guess is you can't... unless you want to just get all the parts yourself and make them fit. Hey, I just realized! Thats what the Japs do!:D

Rezz: wht you say "make them fit" man, you mean cut, mould, bend and stuff?

I was thinking (in my own dreamy little world :D) that i could unbolt the skyline panels, bolt on the S15 panels and go "YAY ... S15 front!!!!!!!!!" - no??

If it was that easy, more people would be doing it. Seriously.

First up, you're gonna need some custom fabricated front fenders... like the car that this thread is about. Then you have to modify the S15 lights, front bumper and bonnet to fit the, dare I say, slightly longer R32 nose section. And you've got to make it fit properly! Big hassle, but possibly worth it.

Now you know where that 10G goes for the Strawberry face kit for the 180SX/S13 and 14...

    • Hi all   what short shifter do you use on your skykine r34?   my synchronous does have a problem and i was getting huge delay and grinding sound between 2nd and 3rd, did put shockproof red heavy stuff and it is great now/ no issues   would in your view short shifter screw this up?   people seems to suggest/ use cube short shifter and there is standard and premium. Seen review of premium as much better and less play. Thoughts?
    • Yeah, there's a bit of a density and friability difference between pebbles and any of those other things. Silicone will definitely float in oil and so will be mobile enough to move around. Although, again, if it is upstream of the filter it really shouldn't go any further. I would only ever worry about silicone when it is in places downstream of the filter. Upstream of the pickup is a whole 'nother matter. We've all seen what that does. I have seen the most abominable crap settled out in industrial gearboxes, trunnion lube systems and the like, without any sign that any of it has touched anything in the machine. Just chilling in the bottom, waiting for the inevitable operator error that causes the whole machine to need to be dismantled for repairs.
    • I have seen enough fire and brimstone from TSBs about roloc disks causing spun bearings that foreign object contamination is top of mind for me. For sufficiently large particles you might be right but usually it’s a distribution of debris and some of the larger particles can also break down and shed bits. If local shops report RTV contamination in a turbo is enough to wreck them I’m taking zero chances if I can help it.
