Front End Conversion!

[subie]

hi guys,

as everyone seen so many front end conversion... like..

- R32 with R34 front

- R33 with R34 front

- 180SX with S15 front

- S14 with S15 front ect..

I'm thinking about doing my R32 front end coversion but!.. I want S15 front on my R32 ..

so, does anyone have seen this conversion before? what the dimention of the S15 front compare to R32 (gtst) front? are u reckon this is gonna be hard or impossible to do? where should i get this conversion done?

PS: just an idea, not 100% sure if i wanna do it ??

Cheers

It would be interesting and original to say the least. but I can also see it being A LOT of custom fabbing. The cars are different platforms so it will be hard I would thing.

I've seen a 32 front on a 180, so dimensionally i think you should be ok.

The only concern i can think of is bonnet to cam cover clearance at the front of the engine as the s15 looks to have a more pointed front end.

But! Personally, i think the s15 front only looks good on 180's and s15's. The r32 is very similar in styling to an s13 silvia and the boxy angular back does not match the more rounded front IMHO.

34 front works on a 32 (and s13) as they both have that angular look to them

yep, seen it before... i think it's own by mr. dai (option mag jap) .. 180SX with 350Z front and G35 rear.. look cool tho..

It would look strange, the r32 has a high bonnet line and the s15 is low and slim. nothing wrong with the r32 front end just get a gt-r front bar and clear indicator lenses.

Have you ever seen the S15 with the 180 front it is the most bad ass combo ever.... S15 conversions are lamo... and why are you cheesing something so nice up

[Yo-Yo]

Get one back on the ricers and do a civic conversion!!!

[Trent04]

hey man, yeh the s15 conversion would be sweet, but it is is decision as it is your car, just my 2 cents worth

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

just to throw it in the mix...

i know its a little "wild"

how bout a 32 with a 32 front end?

It would be interesting to see what the S15 front would look like on an R32, but I wouldn't do it. Everyone having front conversions are doing it to S15's. WAY too common. Maybe S14a front conversion? Or 180 front conversion? Everything's going to be custom anyway so might as well change it into something others usually don't.

There's a S14 with a 180 front here in Melbourne done by Vu and his shop and it doesn't look too bad.

I think you should (if you have the time, a good panel shop/mechanic etc and the money) go R34 front on a R33 GTR body.

Perhaps this will give you some inspiration:

Or go 57 chev lol

[Trent04]

or use the money u were plannin on doin the conversion and spend it on the engine

[subie]

guys,

i know it sound funny but if u dont like an idea, u are welcome to stay off the topic

cheers

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

that's no fun now is it

+1 for 57 chev btw

[Spunky Munky]

Look mate, I think it's a good idea - like I said, if you got the cash and a good mechanic/panel shop etc - I would say, "go for it."

[DNGRUS]

It would b different! Iv seen an Integra with an s15 front, I think we all have, the airbrushed [XXSHO] car

[subie]

yeah, i really wanna do it in the future

Find someone who is good at photoshopping and get them to photoshop an S15 front end onto a photo of your R32. That way, we can all see what it will look like and go from there. I think It'd look weird, but it could work. Up to you. But what about a 180SX front end? Or something outside the Nissan camp altogether?
