take your fenders off, then take an s15 fenders off... then look at the chassis underneath and see if they look even remotely the same... you'll very swiftly come to the realisation that... NO! OF COURSE NOT! *does option dvd style smack across the head... oo there's a smiley for that :slap:*

the silvia and the 180sx are the same chassis, hence why onvias n sileighty's are common as chips. Bomex made a strawberry face adapter kit, so now many people around the world can change the 180's front into an s15.

If you're a pro welder and a keen panelbeater, then go nuts, if not, stop yourself before you squander your money away.

From the rear photo is has a huge spoiler that extends to the furthest extents of the body. from the front photo, the spoiler can hardly be seen and is definately smaller

someone got something really wrong with the perspective on that pic.. Mini Me is right..

front and rear views are not correct

are you guys sure that is the real deal?

it could be an excellent photoshop.. but.. then again.. who knows.. maybe its 2 different cars.. because the side view has a carbon or black bonnet on it..

maybe the 300zx front is really fat compared to the 32 rear

i know ur saying that as a joke..

but its still not possible.. look at the rear guards, the spoiler sticks well out further than them, and from the rear, you can see that the front guards are not "fatter" than the rears ALSO the rear window...

but when you look at the front its shrunk..

WTF

Ooooh, sounds like an X-file...

Look you ninkumpoops:D, obviously it's yet another *3-D object presented in a 2-D medium*... hence the magical wing thats long-when-viewed-from-the-back, short-when-viewed-from-the-front.

just had another look at the pic. even if the perspective thing did make the spoiler look so much smaller, then why can't the rear tyres be seen underneath the car on the front view. They are almost the same viewing distance behind the viewing point as the spoiler, and are not set as far apart, yet they line up directly behind the front tyres.............

here's another look zr32.jpg

Whos to say they haven't haphazardly cut around the image of the car to add it to the magazine page, and in the process cut off the protruding parts of the rear wing (in the front on pic) and then realized their mistake, then haphazardly "added" the protruding parts again, not taking into account the "3D object on 2D medium" conundrum, thereby creating this bollocks conversation...

...I mean, look at the wing on the drivers side in the front on view,(it has an end-plate) and then look at the pssenger side (it doesn't have an end-plate) OMG! :looney:

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.

      I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
