skyline gtr front clip
 
will the front clip of a skyline gtr fit into the front end of my 89 gxl. not to mention will the tranny fit? and will the gxl rear end hold up? this isn't a for sure thing. it was just an idea that popped into my head.

Are you retarded? Please don't come here asking how you can assrape your RX-7... :rolleyes:

most likely not since the skyline front clip is RHD and your rx is not. The motor and tranny might fit. this isn't the right section for this type of thing.

Yea, it will bolt right up...:ret:

Well, theoretically anything will "fit". However, will it line up easily? Hell no. Will the tranny fit? Almost definitely not. Will the rear end hold up? No, because it won't work with the tranny of the GT-R.

I mean, really, anything will work on any car. Just be prepared to drain your bank account; your parents bank accounts; your childrens college funds; any credit cards you may already have, and the many you will soon have.

And to be in debt for a long time.

OMG, questions like this make me want to stay off this board for at least a week at a time. jeeeeeeeeez man, what are you, 16?


will it fit your rx7?
NOPE.
can you make it fit?
SURE.
will it fit a 240sx a lot easier?
YES, HELLS YES.
will the gxl rear end hold up to skyline power?
SURE... until you start modding the RB motor and cranking out 500hp.
will the tranny fit?
SURE, if my T56 from an LS1 v8 fits, the RB should fit.

And then be prepared to get flamed every time a rotorhead sees you in public... Possibly even beat up...

this may seem mean, but if you have to ask: no.

ûuuuuuummmmmmmyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaa direct bolt in.lol

snowball 01-27-06 11:53 AM

not to mention the GT-R is 4WD so you need a GT-S tranny

classicauto 01-27-06 12:20 PM

If you want a Skyline - buy one.

Don't buy a 7 and a skyline clip and some rolls of duct tape for the love of god

Why's that? If he somehow mated the entire front clip on, in theory he'd have the necessary components to drive the front wheels, and could simply attach the rear driveshaft to the rear OS on the tranny.

That said, it's all moot, I can say that all of us would be astounded if this idea ever became anything more then an idea.

Try to avoid bashing young people. I'm 15...and I don't post insanely stupid ideas that "pop" into my head.

With THAT said you must take into account the AWD 7's that exist now....

and the fact that none of them bothered to cut two cars in half and stitch them together....

Look if you want an AWD rotary powered vehicle, look around its been done, use a fully divorced tansfer case and build a tube frame chassis, use some AWD style front struts/bearings control arms and slowly piece it together...

bottom line is that makign a car like this is more work and more dollars than 90% of us could ever dream of...........and trying to mate a skyline with a 7 is just one example of these dreams

13b4me 01-27-06 04:28 PM

A dream??? That's more like a nightmare!!!

Eternal_Gamer 01-27-06 04:54 PM

F*CKIN RICER! I'm sorry that's too harsh. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings :)

Eternal_Gamer 01-27-06 04:56 PM

Did I mention that is the stupidest idea I have ever heard of, well, besides the yellow rx-7 that had a civic rear. HAHA! Funny shit.

I'm familiar with how to make an AWD RX7. ;) I'm in overall agreement with you though.

Nihilanthic 01-28-06 02:57 PM

Ok.. WHY a AWD RX7 in the first place? Whats your goal - AWD, or performance? Do you really specifically want a "AWD RX7" for some reason?

On pavement, putting AWD in a rx7 most likely wont help its performance nearly as much as just getting bigger tires, better suspension, and making more power, if at all.

Sometimes adding more is just adding more, not making it better.
