As some of you know I was going to sell my car for an r32. but after some time thinking about options and talking with my parents ive decided to keep it. But i really do want to make it something different. I was wondering if anyone has a General idea of the cost of a Strawberyy face conversion (s15 front on 180 back) it will probably be out of my price range. But it would be interesting to know.

thanks !

Firbeglass parts are about $5k, plus install etc, it all ads up.

For metal guards, exprect about $8k in just parts, plus installation.

I am still chasing a strawberry 180, but without anyone wanting to buy my r33, its a bit of a dillema :)

Maybe you wanna trade me your 180sx + cash for my r33? hehe, then I can save up a bit for the conversion myself.

Skyline Imports in adelaide do strawberry face kits in fibreglass (they have been for the last 3 yrs) and are pretty cheap these days.

I used to have one, loved my ichigo to death... then my insurance went thru the roof due to run ins with the law etc. anyways, the way I got mine was off a wreck in japan, cost me 4k all up and it was genuine bomex parts (metal fenders baby yaaaay).

you can bring the kit for it in from queensland, i will find the link

its a good 5k and will still require piss farting around, like jeff said the radiator support panel is always important and instead of trying to go around it, you might as well incorporate it into the price.

I was wanting to do that, the pic of the blue one on the bomex site is excellent. also cardomain.com has a nice one there.

i got a adapter plate (which supports radiator n intercooler n all) with my kit... thought that would be part of the replica fibreglass kit too? You did have to cop 2 chunks off the front which goes under the standard 180sx front bumper. we used a angle grinder and some waterproof sealant to patch it up, then put an s15 front bumper on.

    • Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.
    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
