Would a nissan RB20DET front clip fit in a 2wd Toyota Pickup truck? Does anyone have the dimensions on said front clip? I'm asking Venus Auto as well.

i highly doubt it, the R32 skyline GT-R is 70 inches wide so its still probably 65-68 inches wide.

I got the same truck...It won't fit. You'll need a trailor.

the trucks kindof a beater but still. Is it going to be too wide for the bed? We could fashon a plywood platform for it to ride on maybe.

Or is finding a trailer going to be the least painful way?

And does anybody know what an RB20DET clip usually weighs? I'd guess around 1000 pounds.

Put it in slanted over leaning on one side of the bed, then tie strap it down really well and try to ignore the truck leaning to one side :)

LOL yeah sounds like a plan! We'll have to counterweight with two LSD units. We'll play the Low Rider song all the way back to Utah as we scrape.
