What happens if you went the other way... ie... put a 180sx front on an S15... well the clever guys at masa motorsports (who brought you the R34 on the W34 conversion and the wider strawberry face conversion kit) have released the s15 onevia kit.

yeah 1 = ichi 5 = go, and ichigo = strawberry, so S15 face = strawberry face :D

cept this is a one-S15-via of sorts, just an updated onevia I guess.

JAMESW Dunno yet, but I can ask em for ya if ya keen on bringing one down.

Here is the other way...

Sickness care of Signal Auto.

I prefer the Signal way to be honest.

But I see the attractiveness of the sleepy eyed drift 180 faced S15.

T0ny, i used to own a strawberry face 180 back in 2000 :P and no it wasn't signal that made it, it was bomex that made the original conversion kit (limited run which they don't do any more). Now west Yokohama and Masa Motorsports and many others do it too.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
