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.

      The SS button head cap screw on the back? If so, good to know. I presumed it was there for basic assembly and nothing more.

      R32 GTR Lost All Interior Power to IGN Accessories

      By Kirby7887 · Posted

      Hello, everyone. I'm new to the forum. I have a 1989 Nissan Skyline R32 GTR. I have lost all power to the interior, including AC controls, the gauge cluster, turn signals, and windows. Stuff that still works includes the horn, brake lights, radio, and headlights. All fuses, in the interior and exterior boxes, tested good.  It starts and runs fine, just with no gauge power or anything stated above. No warning lights either. Things that I have tested: - Fusable link tested fine - No other fuses blown - Alternator good - IGN switch tested fine - With my power probe, I can backfeed power through the IGN pin to the plug on the back of the gauge cluster, and everything comes back on.    So my theory is something on the control side that sends the ignition power through the system isn't doing its job, or a wire is broken. (I would think that it is the ignition switch that would do that, but who knows?). The ignition relays don't fire (all relays tested good). So what tells them to fire other than the IGN switch?  I would really appreciate it if someone had some insight on this. I have tons of hours into this; I don't want to give up in defeat! I have the HD wiring diagram, but having all those wires laid out like that on one sheet of paper makes things pretty hard to follow.  Thanks for reading, and thanks for the replies.  Where should I look next? Thanks.

      Install a MAP sensor pre and post throttle. Best data you could have for NA, then play with the bends and/or air box and see how much of inflection is created at WOT on the plot.

      The car remains in paint jail. I am now pretty convinced that the whole "RB25 Airboxes are kinda limiting to ~300kw" could be a thing. Also saw a good video from Engine Masters: (Sorry for FB link) (https://www.facebook.com/watch/?ref=search&v=761771519471924&external_log_id=c10bcbb6-2c39-4ff3-9240-287e9921fde6&q=Cold Air Considerations) Where they tested Pod Filter sizes and kept adding bends to a LS3 on an Engine Dyno to find if bends caused power loss. It's a good video worth watching - They did lose ~25hp from making an intake which had 3x90's and a 120 degree. They only lost maybe 1hp with a basic 90. I feel that by sealing up my airbox I have: 1) Created the same restriction a stock airbox would have. 2) Created a very convoluted set of intake 'pipes' by forcing all the air through the ducts. So I am pretty confident I'll be going full circle and have a huge hot air intake pod and actually see a benefit. The air does *not* stay hot once it gets flowing, aided by the ducts, and the pod can then pull air from anywhere. All the posts of yore talk about the stock airbox costing 10-15kw at 300kw+ but you know what? I f**king would very much like that 10-15kw and I remember my own pod filter in engine bay experiences. Turns out the GTT Reo and Headlight brackets really don't allow you to mount GTR items, no matter what the internet says. Various brackets have had to be made up to actually make it fit right for the front bar. Also some idiot mounted a 3L Accusump right where the bumper wants to go, so that has had to be 'relocated' To where, I am still not sure, but it's supposedly mounted in the pictures and I can't see it.
