defintely don't want to start with a convertible, so why is this in the vert forum?

there is already a thread about this on zilvia, it has pictures and testimonials from the dozen people or so that have done it already. most used hatches, some used coupes.

hitman will probably frown on me linking to other forums but this is probably the best thread with the most pictures on the topic:

did I read that correctly, you are swapping motors because of a leaky injector? wouldn't it be easier just to fix the injectors?

that would be cool but Z32's have such shallow hatch areas that I'm not sure what the point would be...

why not just put a silvia front clip on a hard body? Save a lot of hassle you could even go all wheel drive then get a damn Pulsar GTIR setup slammed under there.

correct me if I'm wrong but hardbody: longitudinally mounted drivetrain, pulsar GTIR: laterally mounted drivetrain.
