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?

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
