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...

    • It was roughly 3.5 hours.    car went in around 11:00 and I was done around 2:30 He did the initial runs, install the BC and then Nistune install and tune.  The best part was sitting in the lobby and hearing the skyline on full throttle at the dyno 😂😂
    • Glad it all went smooth. How long did the tuning process take?
    • Yeah that was kind of the same feedback my tuner gave me.  the boost tee is until I can sort out my plan for the electronic boost controller and what I’d get, where I’d mount the dash etc.  I’m happy with this until I can figure it out. Not a big fan of the A-pillar gauges. I’d like to get a clean install of the boost gauge - something digital like GFB.  Something like that might fit neatly where the ashtray is and look clean. I feel like replacing the OEM triple gauge is a bit extreme for a weekender like my skyline. And it’s not making crazy power to need all the additional sensors/gauges. 
    • I'm about to swap my box to Tremec T56 Magnum F & initially thinking of re-using my DCS twin plate (can get it re centred for the bigger spline) but it's been called out the box will be noisy (rattle) as the clutch is unsprung.  So I'm doing as much research as possible. I'm not so worried about holding the power as I'll go the track version which on paper will hold the maybe 1000hp I make. It's the longevity I worry about. DCS told me they don't use a sprung centre as it's just something that can break. The uni clutch has a very complicated sprung centre. Any one had or heard about any issues with it failing? Thanks in advance.
    • Auto is at least 10% (from my real, actual experience with different torque converters and manual on the same setup) ~185rwkw at 11.6psi (peak!) is entirely what one would expect without a FMIC or anything else on the intake, it does bleed off towards the higher RPM so it's what, 9psi there? Note: There is nothing that can be done about this with a manual boost tee. If you want to hold it steady and gain more top end, well - You will need electronic boost control.....
