It is possible to sell your 7s. Or probably give it away. Please.

It's possible to do anything if you have the time and money.

You could put an escalade front end on it, it's just the amount of work you want to do on it. Throw an 89 mx6 front on it. I got this pic off this forum like 2years ago, it's photoshopped

You can't do a silvia conversion.... you could however put a silvia front end on your car if you had the money. You could also put an SR20DET in there if you really wanted to as well... that would probably be a lot easier than swapping the front end. However, all of the above is terrible and should never be attempted. But, to each his own.

Wow the guy just asked a simple question. . . Guys don't have to be asses about it.

Going back to what vex wrote. I wouldnt do a sr20 swap because they are done too much. I would go for a RB20 or RB25

I was actually going to make the note about RB20 over SR20, but knew that everyone was going to rip on him so it didn't matter. Swapping a Nissan powerplant really isn't worth the money... you are more likely to get more power out of a 13B than an SR20 anyway. Not too mention the weight gain the front end would notice after the swap... throwing the handling right out the window. And without the handling, what's the point?

Sounds like an interesting project to undertake. After reading up on this(yahoo search), the only tranny they could use was a 4 speed auto tranny, with a Hold button that would allow the engine to reach 7000rpms redline. With that said, 0-62 could be obtained in 6secs. Sounds fun.

i don't think he was joking.

i also don't think he even knows which 'silvia' conversion he wanted to do.

s15 strawberry? s13 projectors? s14 zenki front? s14 kouki front? maybe a pimp *** s12 gazelle! wewt.

for any and all of the above, it will undoubtedly be alot of custom work, and everyone will think you're a dumbass. your car will also look pretty ridiculous, but thats just my opinion.
