S15 Front End On Cefiro ?

Any front end will go on, but it most definitely won't be a straight swap. That is only possible on S13 silvia/180sx because they have the same chassis and doors.

You will need conversion guards, but I doubt anyone makes them, so you'll need to cut up both pairs of guards and join the S15 guards to the cefiro guards. You'll need custom headlight mounting brackets. Don't know if the S15 front bumper reo fits on the cef or not, might need to cut and weld the S15 reo to the cefiro one to fit it. Bonnet, if you are lucky it will fit, otherwise you might need to do something there (like get a fibreglass one and make it longer?)

It's not like this kind of thing hasn't been done before, (think sky-firo, 180-line, s15-80, cef-line), but is going to depend alot on your patience and wallet

BAHAHAHAH sorry, but yeah not even a chance.

The parts that they share with silvias (S13) refers to things like,

front end: shocks, hubs, uprights (hub carrier), brakes, strut brace, control arms, castor arms

rear end: diff, driveshafts, suspension, hubs, uprights, camber/toe/traction arms.

Parts that are shared with skyline, engine and gearbox (slight differences), rear brakes and handbrake, seats.

When it comes to body panels, only thing that comes close to fitting is the laurel, (think laurfiro). Essentially the laurel is the same as a cefiro, except they have a different body shell. But unlike the s13 silvia/180sx, the doors are not the same so you have problems getting the laurel guards to line up with the cefiro doors (they rub and the body lines don't match).

R32 front end?

Dont the ceffie and 32 share the same chassis

Cef's don't have the same chassis as anything except for laurels. There are similarities in certain parts, but like I said before you'll need conversion guards, custom head light mounts among other things.

      Sane enough. Remove the roof liner, because the acid will go everywhere.

      Rusty roof repair

      By PranK · Posted

      Thanks guys, I really appreciate the help and experienced opinions.  I have spent a lot of my life working on boats so I'm pretty good with fibreglass. I'll take everybody's advice in here;  I'll cut a little more of the 2nd layer away as it's a bit crunchy rust and also it's sitting high now. Then I'll wire brush it all a bit to get off anything loose, then I'll soak the bejesus out of it all in rust converter. I'll make sure to get a little hose piece and feed it into all the holes and gaps between the roof layers. Then I'll fibreglass up the holes.  Then I'll get a pallet of filler and mix it with 3 buckets of hardener and hope that is enough to build up the roof corner.  Does that sound sane? Is one type of filler better than others for this?

      My goals for it atm are to get it registered, respray and some mild power gains eventually... I picked up the car from an elderly gentleman near the border of NSW and VIC, its honestly a bit rough and looks like its been driven on a farm (because there was so much dirt underneath). Last week I dropped the subframe and emptied the old fuel out + added a new fuel pump (think the old one went bad from old fuel). Now I'm onto fixing a coolant leak at the rear of the engine + adding a new radiator as the old one is corroded. After that i have a new bumper, coils (as the old were leaking) and lots more

      Love this so much! Please post a photo when you have a bike on the trailer.  I was a little bit worried about having a tow bar on the Skyline, but having it hidden behind the number plate is genius
