Rear end swap? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Fractur3 · 11-29-2007, 08:05 AM

just picked up a 95 s14 shell and i want to know what the rear end is swapable with. I just watched drift society and in there it looks like there are 2 silvia's with like an r33/r32 rear end on them. I like the look of an r33 or 32 over the stock 240 look so im wondering how hard of a swap it is, because i know anythings possible through fabrication.

i think youre going too far with the whole being different from everyone else deal.. but what ever floats your boat..

Fractur3 · 11-29-2007, 08:11 AM

haha i take it that the swap is gonna be a bitch? Im not worried about making everything fit im just worried about the wiring

punxva · 11-29-2007, 08:12 AM

how is that being different, ok so check it, since your new, try searcing, it's been done before, and i'm sure you can find plenty of information if you just searched. or else you'll just be ignored or flamed here...

and btw what wiring, it's a diff and subframe, there's no wires at all

murda-c · 11-29-2007, 08:16 AM

i think he means bumper/taillights.

wiring is easy, the only things there are tail and brake lights, and tag lights.

if you can do all the fab yourself, go for it.

Fractur3 · 11-29-2007, 08:18 AM

dude trust me i did search it was the first thing i did but all it came up with were classified ads.. Ive belong to a couple subaru forums and when i cant find what im looking for searching, i make a thread.. maybe im not searching for the right thing??

ya rear end not the front.. i know the front is swappable, id be an idiot if i made a thread asking a question about that but apparently im idiot for making this thread...

*ManoNegra* · 11-29-2007, 12:22 PM

No, you're an idiot for being a noobie and thinking this is a good idea... jp

Arghh, don't do it - lot of work and $$$ not to mention 99% or conversions don't look right.

Drive the car for a while, take care of the suspension and brakes and then ret-think this idea.

pbcstylez · 11-29-2007, 12:28 PM

you need to first ask yourself how deep are your pockets? there will be a good deal of cutting and welding involved and paying lots of fab$

hey, all i have to say to you, is

lol sry i had to, this forums has the sweetest smilies hah

but this is my project car so why wouldnt it be a good idea? i just wanna go crazy with it and do something thats rarely seen.. hell my friend came up with the idea to put a moto bike exhaust on it. But the car is just a rolling shell so theres no driving anytime soon..

i dd an 04 sti making about 400whp and i want a project car because the sti is expensive

Fair enough, wish you look with it. Make sure to keep us updated.

Both of those have been done MANY times. If you want an R33 rear end, save up and get an R33, everyone hates those anyway

ms!3 · 11-29-2007, 01:56 PM

haha, i thought we were talking about diffs, those kinda rear ends. please dont put an r33 r/e on a 240.

eastcoastS14 · 11-29-2007, 02:08 PM

^^ lol same here, honestly like other ppl said you gotta ask yourself how much $$ you have....if you were to do it it should be done correctly with oem parts and skilled body work....a hack job tail light conversion will look like total ass, a skilled job will only somewhat look like ass. If you have the cash at 16 to do this then more power to you but know that it will be expensive....IMHO if you have the cash put it into some other aspect of the car....it is ur money tho so do what you like

Landers · 11-29-2007, 02:18 PM

I suggest you just check out some of the cars on this page and spend your money on other things maybe a kouki front??? i know its been done and all but it will make you feel like a master fabber yo!....r33 rear end on a 240 is a bit much...dont ruin a good s14. Waste of money in my opinion

*DALAZ_68* · 11-29-2007, 02:52 PM

u wanna do something rare as fuck to see...

240z front on a s13 H/B

talk about unique...

ive only seen one in the devil z blue...fucken sick

kinda reminds me of the new mustangs that take it back to the fastback days but a modern style...

search that ... just my .02

*fliprayzin240sx* · 11-29-2007, 03:11 PM

Lemme get this straight, you wanna put the R33 read end on it as in cosmetic?!?! Can you imagine how much fabrication that is? S14s have a flat rear end. Skylines have a wide, tall and boxy rear end. How good are you and your friend in fabrication? Im not talking about welding fucking exhausts. Sheetmetal? Bondo? Engineering degree?

In Subaru terms, imagine turning a wrx sedan rear end into a wagon...thats about how complicated it would be. If you wanted to put a skyline rear end on a car, you should have bought a 95 prelude, shape of the rear end is pretty close and it wouldnt be as complicated as on a S-chassis.

Also, you've been misinformed, Skyline front end wont bolt up to an S-chassis without making it look like a complete utter shit.

There I fixed it, but how often do you see 16 yr olds with decent jobs, able to afford $400-500 car payments with expensive ass insurance on top?

Here in Cali I saw a early 80's trailer park z front end on a s13 coupe. That was terrible!!! The 240z lines may look like it would flow better tho'. I have a rusted 73' in my back yard so the gears are turning in my head.

different taste i guess...

Fractur3 · 11-30-2007, 08:18 AM

damn i didnt think that it would be completely different.. i never thought it would be THAT hard to do, but i guess ill just keep it the way it is lol

and i work 25hrs a week and go to school to afford the sti and i pay for all my shit.. but i must say i couldnt get the sti without my parents because the car is in my moms name so insurance is WAY cheaper.. but i still have to pay for that too.. payments arent even 400 a month on it, i saved up a ton of money to put down and i have car payments through college but its worth every penny

Koopa Troopa · 11-30-2007, 08:35 AM

25hrs a week? I was working 40+ at a car wash when I was your age and I was going to school.

In order to swap the rear end you'll need a cutting torch and a welder...

Fractur3 · 11-30-2007, 09:57 AM

well if i could work more i would lol, but i cant physically keep good grades and work a shitload so it works

alex_s817 · 11-30-2007, 10:19 AM

eastcoastS14 · 11-30-2007, 10:23 AM

^^ nice first post

alex_s817 · 11-30-2007, 10:28 AM

yea i know, i didnt even know it was my first post. i have accounts on too many forums lol

Flipzide · 11-30-2007, 10:29 AM

i feel like an idiot. when i first read the topic title, i thought he wanted to swap the whole rear suspension, differential, etc... but it turned out to be just cosmetic bs. awwwwww...

on topic, don't do it.
