1998 skyline/ 240 convert conversion

[bondo]

I recently bought a 1993 240 convertable, and a 1998 rb20 front clip. I did the motor swap already, and it runs great. now i want to swap the skyline front end to the 240 , has anyone done this,please help newbie

[sean8564]

the RB20DET were stopped in 1993 1998cc is the displacemnt And yes the the skyline front has been done.

sweet ,did you weld the radiator support on ,then it bolted up.or was it harder then that. How clean is it?

[sean8564]

no it was not welded you just need to make specal bracket to make ti fit nothing too hard and it sticks out about a inch it would look pimp witha widebody rear

Bondo, i have an r32 front end on my vert. Let me get some pics up to give you an idea of what it looks like.

[nab911]

Ill get the pics up sunday because im having a friend from a body shop to cut and weld my skyline fenders to the old 240 fenders and ill take pics the whole time.

[bondo]

yo where are the pics? gotta see them

[jrsink]

word

[nab911]

Lol i gotta find time. Ill try to do it tonight but i havnt been not busy in the last week. Ill get them asap, then again after i install my roll bar

[jrsink]

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[nab911]

Alright ladies... i said i was gonna do this and it took me forever but here are the warmup pics:



I gotta get my photoshop working and then ill resize the rest.

[jrsink]

wow

[nab911]

Now its a given that it needs work. I need to actual mount the headlights straight and get my friend to redo the fenders. I have more but let me get them resized.

[bondo]

yo that looks cool.

Interesting, very interesting. It'll be interesting to see some additional pics from other angles.

[slownslurious]

what did you do to the fenders? all the other ones I've seen look like the 180sx at the top of the page but yours seem to match up better. Is it just the angle of the pic? anyway bump for being different.

[nab911]

Lol just trick photography. I actualy hear from a lot of people that it looks the better than most but there is still ~1" gap. Ill get those pics up soon.

[driftjunke]

The 180 with the 32 up top is Jeremy's and we did weld brackets up for the whole front end, I have seen people makeshift brackets without welding, and I personally don't reccomend it, ever have a headlight fall off while your do 100+mph? I haven't and don't want to. We can get r32-s13 conversion fenders for the better fit.

How do you like your RB20 vert, I love mine, it's not coming back out of the shop until Spring, got lots of stuff going on with it.

[nab911]

If your talkign about me... its not rb20. Im getting a vg30de in a couple of weeks to put in it .

[driftjunke]

I know you like yours Nick, I was asking the guy who started the thread. A NA VG30? Why waste the time and effort, for 200hp? The price that you'd drop on a swap like that you can do a bad *** KA-T setup and be well past 200hp, and it still be easy to work on.

Call me Nick.

[nab911]

I have a couple of reasons for this swap and ill talk to you about it. I tried calling but you wernt there so ill hit you up later.

[slownslurious]

vg30dett man.. come on! the DE is all the headaches without the main advantage.

[nab911]

Lol the turbo gives you headaches. I just want the pull of the vg like my buddies old z32 had without having to worry about breakdowns all the time. Ill figure it out soon and give Eric a call and see what we can work out.

[driftjunke]

The RB20's coming out of the Vert for the built KA-T next week.

E

[nab911]

Well if you can get me a deal on a rebuild... ill think about the ka-t.

[nab911]

Ok guys, i need a quick honest opinion... Do you think it would be worth $200 to get teh r32 rear setup from Jarco? Do yall think it would look good/ worth the time and effort to get it all put on?

[driftjunke]

Hey Nick, look whats going in the vert,

E

[nab911]

We have already discussed this... thats going in MY vert . Eric seriously i just canceled the r32 rear end idea so i need to decide on a motor... Send me an email at [email protected] with what it would cost to have either a rebuilt ka and then turboed or an rb25.

[jrsink]

whoah...Yall have twin turbo manifolds for the ka???

[nab911]

Lol give up bud. He has to custom make it and then try to tune it... Thesauraus... way to much money for less performance .
