FAQ: Silvia, 180SX, GTi-R, and Bluebird Clips
 

Front Clips NOT currently available from HT. 

Many customers want a clip so they can have the 'complete' package with nothing missing. This is not really necessary since our complete engine packages guarantee you no missing components. 

A clip includes the radiator, fan shroud, side mount intercooler and piping, and does provide a great visual reference for the swap. Aside from that, there are no big benefits to the clip over a complete engine setup. If a front mount intercooler and radiator upgrade with electric fans are in your future, save some money and don't get a clip.

 

However, there are several downsides to a clip.   You have to remove 2 engines instead of one, delivery is significantly more expensive than an engine setup, and disposal of the remains can be a hassle.

Most front clips come with fenders and hood, usually the front bumper and front suspension.   Brakes and lights are sometimes included.

 

Any body panels, bumpers, dash parts, lights and suspension included are a bonus and are not usually in good condition.   As of 2005, most Silvia clips have already had their lights removed and sold.

Clips can be delivered to a business with a full height loading dock, or to a location where a forklift is available. Clips can be picked up at the nearest freight terminal, they will load it onto a full size pickup truck, flatbed tow truck or rental truck for you. 4 guys can barely lift a clip, so be prepared.
