Spec S to Spec R convertion

[haz's S15R]

Hi,

Just wondering how much of an job it is to swap all bits from a spec r into a spec s. Are there any body differences(eg underbody strut braces etc.) and does the whole loom have to be changed or does it split in the engine bay like BMW. Any comments from people with experience of this convertion much appreiciated!!!

yes the spec r has a stiffer body and a LSD,

are you planning on putting a S15 DET in it, or just a DET from any of the possibilities?

S15 spec R to S15 spec S. My g/f wrote off my spec r but only body damage, just tryin to work out if it is easy enough to buy a cheap spec s shell and transfer all of my bits and bobs or better off selling bits and starting again!

prob wouldn't be much in it if it was minus the running gear

Mechanically i'm not that worried about the swap but i'm not good with electrics so it's the loom i'm worried about and how hard it would be to splice a spec r loom into a spec s!

I let you know when i get around to putting a DET into my spec s, ask albert what he did with his http://forum.s15oc.com/showthread.php?100-Albert-s-Nissan-Silvia-S15-*now-with-sr20det*
