OK i was given a R32 front clip (stripped) and i want to know how she died. I have made a Paintshop copy of the VIN plate. It has a few jap. writing on it so i cant put those in the BMP file. I will try scan or get a better camrea to take a picture of it for me. My camrea just sucks. I ahve all the info i could copy from the plate on there. Thanks for any help yall can provide.

well I can see it's a GTS-T but to my knowledge you can't just go get a carfax-like report on cars in Japan off the street.

If you can wait until tommorow I'll check in my Nismo catalog tonight if the clutch support is the same. The master should be the same between the R32 and S13, the R33 is a little weird but the R32 is the same.If the 240 is like the Silvia get a hole saw because the won't be one in your firewall. It's a royal pain in the butt to drill under there!:mad:

the support is a different #, the pedal will likely not work in the 240.

great. So you have the pedal and master cylinder mounted, you just need the transmission, slave cylinder, crossmember and likely the front shaft.

Bandit- there is one important line that you need for this swap. I cut it when i pulled the old motor and then realized it was a dealer item, then had to wait a week for them to order it. Its the rubber hydraulic line that connects the hardline to the slave cylinder. About 18 bucks at nissan. I just wanted to warn ya so you dont get everything together and then have to wait a damn week for a stupid hose like i did.
