...of turning an S14 into a truck? I've seen the S13 trucks, FC trucks, hell I think I can recall an S12 200sx truck... But I've never seen an S14 truck. I wanna do it with my other S14 I have laying around, just for shits and giggles.

And for a very crude, 30 second hack-n-slash of what I think it would look like, pixelcar style.

It would be neat.

there is a reason that s14 are not turned into trucks. if you think really hard about what Fc's and s13's have in common, you will know why.

**edit. and why waste a shell by destroying it?

I remember seeing a shop on here doing the conversion on coupes also. So i don't think having a hatch is needed. (if a hatch is what u were talking about)

Truck conversions are fucking gay.

You want a truck? Cool, buy a fucking truck.
You want a car thats like a truck? Buy an El Camino or a Ranchero.

Hardbodies don't have independant rear suspension.
El Caminos and Rancheros are ancient and overpriced.

This project would just be for sheer uniqueness. I even worked a way to make a tailgate lol.

If you have ever seen a S14 without the back glass in person you will see how this will never work without major hacking.

I do not know about the frame on the sun roof models. But on a hardtop I would take the headliner off and use the B-pillar bar and the windshield frame as a guide to make some cuts.

I would reinforce the b-pillar if you do this.

Psh... B-pillar, she-pillar.

lol.

In any case, I'm gonna make a fiberglass sunroof delete panel to get rid of that dumb ass sunroof. Worst invention ever.

Sil-trucks aren't JDM by my standards. They're works of art, and sheer coolness. No two are alike.

And the Subie is a fuckin beast.

Also, they all whistle/leak. Fuck a sunroof.

Holy fuck that is ugly. The M5 isn't bad, but an S14 is just fucking hideous. Go buy a hatch or an S12 if you wanna do this. Don't bastardize an S14...

Also my sunroof doesn't leak or whistle. I have no problems with mine. And no I haven't done anything to it, its still all original.

what the hell are you talking about "the lack of research amazes even me" the OP was talking about an s14. everyone and their mother knows what a fucking s13 truck looks like.

I normally don't fuck up like that, just been a long azz day.
Did get my hood hinge spacers in and got my tower bar in.
Got something accomplished at least this morning :p

An s14 zenki and kouki are more streamline and less boxy than the s13 and I don't think it can be pulled of quite as easily.
My idea would require the agressive look of the Kouki and a m60 mount.
Imagine this guy manning the m60 AND standing in the "bed" of a Kouki-Kamino.

omgdude!!! your on a FAIL role today. read through the ENTIRE thread and someone already came up with a real picture of an s14 truck.

and i wont phlame you anymore cuz i understand long azz days. lol

unless im failing here by not comprehending, and you are just commenting on that same s14 truck picture i stated about above.

SirSilvia
04-18-2009, 02:55 AM
i saw it and it just looks fugly, the kouki MIGHT look a little better if converted.
and I just thought mounting a gun to it would help with the badassery of it.

even if it still made me wanna barf a lil, it at least has a machine gun attached to it, might help the look of it lol

well any one who didnt like the look would be mowed down by the m60 so the owner wouldnt have to care. lol
