SR20 Front CLip Installation - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Somebody said that the frontclip is welded on and the other front is cut off.  Is this true?  Or do you just take all the pieces out and put them in the existing chassis.  I'm asking so i know what is going on when i put the sr clip inmy 90 240sx.  Thanx a lot guys.

a front clip is just the front half of a car.
most people just take parts out of the front clip and put it into their existing car.. welding it onto ur existing car is sorta pointless and waste of time imo unless you REALLY want a RHD car.

not all front clips come w/ the panels and headlights and all that rite?

Most kits won't come with the panels.  The reason a front clip is convenient is:
It comes with EVERYTHING that was in the engine bay before...all piping, all of the nuts and bolts...everything!
Also, it acts as a protective casing for the parts.  An oil pan easily gets dented in, in fact, most do in shipping w/o a front clip.  This makes it so you have to take off the oil pan and pond out the dents before running the engine, otherwise you won't get enough oil pressure, sometimes, none at all.  Front clips get  <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/thumbs-up.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':thumbsup:'>  <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/thumbs-up.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':thumbsup:'> from me, still too expensive though. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='
