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?

might post on the photochop section

we'll see ...

S15 front on an R32 looks like arse, the S15 face demands a smooth back with curves, ie a S15 or a 180sx. An S15 front on an R32 looks like a S15 front on a S13 silvia with round taillights. The R32 demands a chunky front, to match the chunky butt. Even the S15 front on an S14 is kinda borderline for me, it works only because the s14's kinda rounded at the back.

There's a yellow S13 silvia in the US with an S15 front and Skyline tail lights grafted onto it. Looks like a steaming pile of shit.

For an R32 you want something butch... why not try a DTM style mercedes, audi or BMW front? Panels are readily available locally, they'll fit the lines of the R32 and it'll be quite different. If you wanna be REAL cheeky, grab a VE commodore frontend and graft it on. VE's look tough as fron the front.

it'll be even more sweeter if you do an LS1 swap which is getting more and more common in nissans these days... lighter than an RB25DET and makes more power with a LOT of potential for big numbers... plus it sits further back in the car further between the wheelbase, so it won't be as nose heavy.

this is the most bad ass conversion imo...... 180sx front on an s15 such a smooth transition in body lines.... unlike the s15 front on a skyline which is a pointy front end to a beefy rear which make it look hurtinnnnnnn it doesn't flow what soever

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
