R32 Conversion On 240SX Coupe

[phatjo911]

What I'm talking about is a R32 conversion ( front and rear ) for a 240SX coupe.

I am sure I saw another thread like this here on Zilvia, but I searched and I could not find it. I DID search.... but couldn't find it. If someone has a link to it, please provide it by posting on this thread or PM me. Or if another member on here did the conversion, could you provide their screenname?

Also, is the conversion as straightforward ( kind of ) as the S15 conversion? Basically buy S15 conversion fenders, S15 hood, S15 bumper and headlights and rad support?


Thanks!

Oh and here's a video of one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IVpNALq5aeU

Looks super clean.

[steve_o1989]

As far as I know, you can't get an off the shelf conversion for an R32 front end. There is probably a reason for this *cough*looks stupid*cough*

I personally have never been a fan of conversions unless it was something that was made for that particular model, but never offered in certain areas ie. Silvia front on coupes, JDM Integra..

If you like it and think that you could manage it then all the power to you. It is all preference, but no, it isn't as straight forward as an s15 conversion.

It's the truth.

that says it all in my opinion but shit man what ever floats your boat.

[JeremyR]

buy the time you finish paying for all the parts and body work, you could of just bought an r32.

my thoughts exactly...if u already own an r32, might be easier to convert that to a vert...then do all this fabbing but


again

wat ever foats ur boat

[svensko]

I'd be down for a R34 front end kit. :coolugh:

[KADRIFTER]

Last time I posted up about this I got major flamage because other people's OPINIONS did not coincide with mine (typical Zylvia) which is what is already beginning here of course... Anyhow, check out this link for probably the best write up / DIY on the front end install:
http://www.ultimatecarforum.com/s14-r32-headlights.html (http://www.ultimatecarforum.com/s14-r32-headlights.html)

Or, if you want check out my first post about the wiring. (which by the way, the set I bought off ebay for less than $110 shipped from Japan in GREAT condition was already wired perfectly to just plug and play - my post about the wiring was total NOOB and I didn't realize a plug had been left on prior to shipping it to me):
http://www.ultimatecarforum.com/s14-r32-headlights.html (http://www.ultimatecarforum.com/s14-r32-headlights.html)

Have fun man, I think it looks freakin awesome but that gap does need to be taken care of for it to look good up close. GL

** Nevermind - realize now you gotta s13... my reply was based on s14. sorry.

[wangan_cruiser]

why does it sound like that?

[ThatGuy]

Please, at least spell our name correctly. It's Zilvia. There has never been, nor will there ever be a "Y" in it.

[top_mount]

there are bolt on conversion fenders for the s13/32. they also have a conversion hood. i highyl recommend sourcing a core suppost because that is the key to fittment. my brothers vert has the r32 front on it.

check raceonusa.com

the car they show is my brothers.

[C. Anderson]

You can get r32 conversion fenders from raceonusa.com and they tell you in the description all the things you have to modify. They also mention they fit like junk :keke: . Here is some pics from Origin and Touge Factory's site.
Edit: They say on the website to use oem peices (hood, etc.). You have to modify your chassis pretty much.
Quote:"These fenders are for the Skyline R32 front end conversion. The fenders are very wide, we think they are approximately 25-40mm wide but are unsure of the exact width. This is one of the hardest conversions to do to the 240SX because of the difference in length between the R32 Skyline and the 240SX. These fenders are not a perfect fit and will need some modification, but they are the only conversion fenders that are available. These fenders allow you to use genuine skyline body parts on your 240SX, you will need the following R32 parts: Headlights, Corner Lights, GTR Hood and latch, GTS front bumper, GTR Grill. You will have to weld metal extensions to hold the hood latch and front bumper in place."

[svensko]

The best part is that unlike kouki and S15 swaps, the R32 swap won't even be noticed by 95% of the people tha tlook at it. :hsdance:

Maybe it's just me, but it looks like a Zenki frontend that is just squinting a little more.

[Jonnyblaze]

if the one in the vid was a coupe it would have been 10x better.. anyone got pics of a coupe with both front/rear conversions?

[DrifterPaw]

Go to this place they make a conversion kit to do the r32 front end.
Heres 2 hoods to do it

No rear light conversion or bumper that your going to have to find on your own, hope this helps you out.
They are having a group buy for a body kit on here on zilvia and you can ask for the r32 bumper with it I'm already on the list for the kit and an s15 front bumper.
Heres the thread for the group buy on zilvia

save your money for more weed.

[gameeffect]

the r32 front end should bolt up fine, jsut the fenders will stick out. but if your a gangsta than you would run it like that. or just buy some r32 to s13 fenders and your good to go. i personally like the idea of r32 front on a s13. for the rear you will need to do some cut and bondo.

[LA_phantom_240]

I like the r33 front on s14 zenki. They're so similar, yet different.

Lemme see if I can dig em up.

[SexPanda]

Go to canadaland, pick up an r32 for 7 grand.

Put every swappable part on it into an s13. Call it a day. Bam. Instant "legal" street beast.

WEll, its kinda legal...

[SinisterSntra91]

If your going to do it do it right buy a real r32 front end find someone who can weld, and someone who can do body work, grow some balls and do work son. I hate these half ass conversions with people using shitty fiberglass conversion fenders that dont fit right and crack and fall apart. Do it right or dont do it at all. Oh and get use to catching shit for being different rudolph did so why shouldnt anyone else who is. People dont typically like different, but f the haters do what you like, not what everyone else wants you to do.

heres a r34 front on a s14

jacked from the sexy jdm car pic thread

[Silverbullet]

my thought on the subject: if you want an R32 that bad, i say go out and buy one. Non-GTRs r not that expensive. Using the car might be a little tricky...

They were not that great looking cars. They just look like a normal car from the 90s IMO. I dont think its worth doing a body conversion to pretend to be an R32 Skyline. An S13 with some sweet aero will rock an R32 GTR or not anyday.

[origin_s135]

everyone has their own taste in shit like this. i like it. imagine this shit all black on chrome vskf's. i don't think it will look stupid anymore. *COUGH*haters*COUGH*

But who am I to judge? it's your car.

[atom]

Doesn anyone still have pics of that one gunmetal gray S13 coupe that had the R32 gt-r conversion? I think it was a SoCal car. That was the only R32 conversion I ever saw that looked clean.

[jspec240]

Thats what the fuck Im talkin about!!

Agreed, but at what price? :tweak:

[s14kouki_]

just get oem silvia ks front bumper, brick headlights, SE wing, and a gtr grill, with a unique color paint.

or be like everybody on here still into body kits and slap some on your car hanging on by zipties...

[s14kouki44]

there's gonna be alot, ALOT!!! of fab work, u got the skills to pay the bills? i wouldn't do the rear cuz thats where the most headaches are gonna come from cuz it requires cutting of the 1/4panels...the front, go for it

:eek: Holy balls, that IS a clean conversion. Would drive that thing any day of the week.

[5t341tH]

yea if u can pull it off and finish it, go for it. if not, dont even waste the time and money

[ZForce]

I've seen a front end and rear end conversion. Both were Formula D cars. I'm sure it's doable, but all you'd have are the looks. You could turn it into a GTS-T no doubt, but if you have a GT-R swap in mind, it's pretty much out of the question. To transfer all the wires and sensors for the awd system would be...painful, even if you were just to think about doing it.

Full body swap and RB25 would be sweet though.

[mikeyyy]

i think this looks horrible....

[silnismo]

For all you people thinking r33 front would look good on an s14 chasis.

Not many people try it because they suck at bodywork or just dont know how..
It can be done.

Id do a vert with teh rear conversion and RHD swap.. but keep it stock motor = california legal street pimpage. Sure it might lack in motor but you should be able to enjoy daily driving with no worries, could still pimp out the suspension/rims. and a drop top R32 would be crazy.

[Mr.James]

i think the R32 front looks good on the s13 chassis. iv been wondering why soo many importers bring soo many R32 nose cuts over tho( not clips w/ motors, nose cuts) is it that popular as to fill up the space on the containers? id think that a few more motors squeezed on the container would make more money quicker than havin R32 cuts sittin on the shelf!

molded body kit uh oh!

i kinda like that one above with the GTC, the front end proportions look correct.. just needs some sort of blister fenders, different sideskirts and slammage

[Pank]

That white one looks horrible, plus it still has a zenki s14 front on it

[!Zar!]

Please excuse me as I go stab my fucking eyes out.

[LA_phantom_240]

It was obviously unfinished in the grand scheme of things.

[!Zar!]

It's hard to tell now a days when most 240 owners leave their shit janky and primered for the cars whole life time.

[Abstrak0ne]

If you want to save a little money on your swap, the R32 and 95 Maxima headlights are interchangeable. The corner lights are different though.

[essforteen]

yea it was unfinished but still we had no choice we had to finish the rear end because the previous owner had it hacked up and over 100 pounds of bondo cardboard and fiberglass on it ask swayray how it looked before..... we fixed all that with a wide body kit and some molding

[LA_phantom_240]

Cardboard....?

[essforteen]

Cardboard....?
yea when we took it apart we were like wtf? cardboard i guess thats why we got it for so cheap

I dunno man, if it completely LOOKS like a R32, sounds like a R32, and has the motor of a R32 (not sure if that one does), thats pretty damn close to being a R32 dont you think? I mean at least its a nissan with a nissan conversion, could be worse, could be a fiat or something.

[mekaw]

heres a guy on vancouver240.. its pretty ugly.. theres m assive gap on where fender meets the door lol. still work in progress.

[SinisterSntra91]

if he shortened up the front end MAYBE it would look good, its like a pretty girl with a really long nose

[ThatGuy]

I think if he ran it head first into a brick wall at around 60mph, that would be the best choice.

[ZX88]

oh my ga a lhd r32 no way. oh wait its just a 240.

whatever if you want to do it, do it. stop caring what other people think and do what you want. It might come out great.

yes you have. i'm sure we all have in magazines, movies, pimp my ride, etc. haha

[mRclARK1]

To each their own but IMHO R32 front on a coupe it looks... meh. Not bad.

Any other combo on a fastback or anything else? :barf:

That green car looks like ass... and I don't think any amount of work will change that.

[S13_Nightkid]

the fact that its on a hatch makes it FAIL beyond question. The grey coupe is alright just pricey as hell.

[miklos]

The Tail lights look good though
