[94exa2]

i was wondering if any knew if one could use the civic front clip on a skyline r34? or any front clip that works? i cant find any r34 front clips...thanx!

Why don't you try it out if you already have the Civic front clip?

i dont have the civic front clip.....from what i can tell,(pictures on atomic) the skyline front clip and civic clip look close, but i dont have either to judge....i just need 1 for my skyline, and i cant find any(that are in stock) anywhere...

im using the Skyline front clip on my civic.. the only diffrence is that the skyline clip makes the civic sit lower in the front... other then that they will work for either car

A lot of clips work for the Skyline.

The NSX, RSX, Civic, Corvette [?], and the 350Z clip MIGHT work. I've been using mix match clips anyways for a few selected bodies. Although, it could sit a little high or lower depending on the body.

I am pretty sure it works. I purchased a gen.1 R34 and 350Z off a friend a few years ago and he had the two bodies switched around (350Z using the Skyline clip and vice versa) and had no problems.

also, i read about a "conversion rear clip" for gen1 body on evo....what exactly is this? cant i just use my evo rear clip and correct front clip?

I believe the "conversion rear clip" that you are referring to would be the clip that you use with the Evo chassis to fit a gen.1 body. This clip is transparent (clear) and comes with the Evo starter kits; here is what I am talking about: http://xmodsinternational.com/Xmods%...%20Adapter.htm. You will probably have to use this "conversion rear clip" to fit your R34 body on the Evo chassis, but I am not 100%, since I have not tried it yet. Hope that helps!

well, i read a thread on here about some1 trying to fit a gen1 skyline on an evo chasis, and his stock evo rear clip didnt work, so someone suggested that clip you linked....whats the diff between the stock evo rear clip and that one you linked?

[jabari]

The one he linked has two screw holes so the clip can adjust in two different positions.

Exactly, as opposed to the "regular" Evo clip that has only one hole and one position to move for adjustment. The clip that I linked will allow for a few more bodies to be mounted to the chassis when compared to the "regular Evo clip. The one that I linked would probably be the smarter route to go, and should definitely work.

so my stock evo rear clip wont work with the gen1 skyline body?

It might, you should try it anyway. If it doesn't work, or if you are not happy with the look, then you could get the one that I linked.

[94exa2]

could i jus drill another hole in my evo rear clip?or would the notches on them have to be sanded down as well?

[rsx racer]

The notches are different on the two different clips. You might as well just get the one from XI and save yourself some time and aggravation.

huh? are your trying correctly? you can shorten and lengthen these just like any other evo or street chassis. not sure why your having problems, all you have to do is remove some screws.........
