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

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

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:

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?

    • Block bump. $400. As above cyl 6 needs bore or sleeve.
    • I would think making the argument that the travel is limited by a spring flexing against a spring perch as "the same method". Later on in the document they do state that the spring can't bind on full bump travel and cannot come loose in full rebound travel as well. (which is all very sensible). The laws are actually pretty sensible and reasonable. It's just that the people who enforce and check them don't actually read them or know them accurately. "Oh, coilovers? Instant fail mate. Don't even need to look at it." - Guy who will be instantly reported by me. There is probably merit to people who do get defected for height also get defected for the suspension in that state that allows it. I did never consider the people who are complaining about coilovers being picked on are also running around at 50mm off the floor.
    • I think given SAU's knowledge of E85 we can strongly conclude that 10% ethanol in almost any situation is entirely fine. Almost all of the myths against E85 were overblown, let alone E10.
    • From your link See bold text, is this referring to damper settings, if so that may a issue for "some" inspectors, I cannot see aftermarket coilovers having the evidence that "must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original" Maybe just remove the adjustment knows and hope for the best???? Meh 5.2 Suspension travel In all instances, modifications to a vehicle’s suspension must ensure the integrity of the system and not compromise the ride quality. At least two thirds of the original suspension travel should be maintained in both directions (rebound (i.e. extension) and bump (i.e. compression)), and rebound must be limited by the same method used by the vehicle manufacturer or if this is not practicable due to the nature of the modification, an equivalent method. If an alternative method is used, evidence must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original.
    • They actually don't - They adhere to VSB14 rules just like Victoria. The rules are against CABIN adjustable height, and it quite clearly states that the height has to be within parameters. I asked the VASS engineer to confirm this when I got my car engineered and they refused to engineer the coilovers because they didn't meet the requirements for requiring engineering. (mine are height adjustable.) People "Not wanting to bother" with "Actually reading/knowing/adhering to the rules" should result in fines and immediately losing the ability to issue blue slips and/or RWC's in Vic.
