[Drift N Dragg]

I SWEAR i have see it somewhere.. I have been doing some searching and I want to do this is a S13.. has anyone or know anyone that has done this? Or is there a thread on here showing it? This is what I want my next project to be... I cant own one legaly so I would just like to take the time and make one.

Let me know what ya think...

[RastaS13]

are you talking about making the whole car look like the r32? cuz i have seen it done but it wasnt pulled off to clean

[AznDrftr.]

somebody on here is selling a converted s13 to r32

Way too much work. You could just as easily get a full sized sticker down the whole side of your car that says "FANBOY", and get the same desired effect.

Evidently, the guy who owns/owned it was named Mark.

Still not as sexy as the real thing.

Hmmmmm I don't like FANBOY sticker's.. :keke: ... But ya.. Hmm Not as sexy as the real thing is Right... DAMN... one day then.. when they become legit.. It's 25 years right?? the age of the car from the current date to become legal for importation? If that is so then.... a 1990 is 2015?? man .. thats awhile...

Also the Name thing is Funny tooo ... Except I am spelt with a "C" .. no "K".. :hsdance:

[HyperTek]

i think its cool... tho im sure you gotta worry even more about theft from hondatheives "woah a GTR dawg!".

if i recall that car is RHD now

Someone should do it to a vert

[Drift N Dragg]

The work on the car is awesome. But it just goes over that it's still a S13... But I mean after all its "Legal" that was my whole point. But I can only Imagion how much it costed to complete that project.

[Arby2Six]

I was just talking about this conversion to a friend haha

[soreballz]

If you do this "conversion", do it right, meaning, do the body work AND the RB26 with AWD; that'd be rad. Anything short of that would be lame.

Don't worry about converting it to RHD... RHD conversions of any sort are fucking lame. Somehow, to me, an R32 conversion seems LESS fanboi-ish than a RHD conversion. :keke:

Get R32 GTR seats, too.

[HyperTek]

its all fun til you roll up to a real car show /meet and park next to a real r32.. lol

[ALTRNTV]

Here's another picture I took of it:

[SexPanda]

thats kinda cool. I mean, if your gonna fake the funk, might as well do it good.

[DreamN]

It's not bad. I'd drive it, would never do the conversion though.

[RiversideS13]

I like it. although it is not real but close enough

[negrosx13]

if you really spend the money on tryin to make into r32 for go it.LOOK MEGA HOT
my buddy had r32 front on his coupe,thing was sick as hell.

[Xbroke_kidX]

meh leave stock s13 body and swap rb26 and awd drivetrain in it and that would be much better imo

[lolatclint]

if only it was rhd.. woulda topped it off nicely :) or u can tell ppl that u did a lhd conversion lmfao

[soreballz]

^RHD swapped cars are fucking gay. Fanboi shit. No performance gain at all, and they don't make the car any more visually appealing. Rice.

[Tom25666]

looks pretty clean to me

[BustedS13]

1.) i can't tell the difference between the real gtr and the converted s13 thatguy posted.
2.) if somebody on here is selling a "converted s13", the "conversion" involved taking the VIN off an s13 and putting it in a grey market r32.

[VQMaxFan]

the red one?

That'd easily fly in central MO.

"its a body kit officer"
"oh. Ok"

[negrosx13]

i agree 120% with you that swap is fanboi shit,no performance beside no being confused when your driving the down road.

[HyperTek]

^well then shit might as well not dress up wash your hair buy new clothes, settle with an ugly chick, thats all cosmetic as well

[soreballz]

^Oh come on, shut the fuck up. Thats VERY different. lol

[SexPanda]

^well then shit might as well not dress up wash your hair buy new clothes, settle with an ugly chick, thats all cosmetic as well

no half of that is disgusting lol. But as far as the mad tyte jdm steering conversion... its pretty useless, I will agree.

Especially at the window of a Jack in the Box or something. lol.

[4DOOR_LIFE]

i think its cool... tho im sure you gotta worry even more about theft from hondatheives "woah a GTR dawg!".

if i recall that car is RHD now

Someone should do it to a vert

if im not mistaken. someone posted up pics of their vert with an r32 front conversion. pretty recent too. shit was hella dope. i was droolin over it because i was thinking about doing the same thing a couple of months or 2 before i saw the pics. im too lazy to link the pics of it. im on my Ps3. hahaha.

on another note that full exterior converted one looks super cool. hmmmm. i wonder if thats the one i saw hella years ago in SF. althought im pretty sure it was RHD.

[revat619]

this is the only "conversion" car that i can tolerate. I would never waste the time and money to do this myself, but i can appreciate the finished product. I'd drive it.

Front wheels need to be spaced though cuz THAT shit is terrible.

EDIT: Actually, he needs actual GTR wheels. Those look like GTS-T wheels judging by the fitment and color.

[Drift N Dragg]

I can't Imagion the Fun Converting it to AWD...

That VIN thing .. LOL .. I think the Officers here would take it just to be a dick or make you pop the Hood for VIN verification on the Firewall. .. Trust me that crossed my Mind too.. But I would hate to lose the car because the Cop got it up his ass to do a complete Verification of your Ride. ..

If this is the same mark from my town in moreno valley that car is waaaaaaaay hot. Infact that car is the tits!!!! he got some te37's on it with an cazy offset. car is just done to perfection.

yeah that's Mark's Car he's my Best friend, car is now RHD RB26 powered. yes he kept the AWD Getrag Box from the R33. he was Running a Set of Diamond Black TE37's on it but he said they looked better on the Dailty Driver, (check maximum rubber fitment thread) so the GTR Wheels are back on that car, and yes on those pics he had GTR wheels in back and GTS in front he is now running full GTR Wheels all around. :lockd:

so? door jamb, firewall, dashboard. that's all i'd need to swap. engine swaps aren't a crime here.

So your saying it "Can" be done. If done properly.. Hmm I might look into that.. I am gonna have to look into this more..

[ZX88]

damn that recaro is so dam high he must be a midget.

[MandTPhotography]

There is one here in Wilmington, and it's homo.


Don't do it.

[SexPanda]

I think I'll throw a skyline front end on my subaru. tee hee

[BustedS13]

So your saying it "Can" be done. If done properly.. Hmm I might look into that.. I am gonna have to look into this more..

they don't look for that kind of shit here, so it'd be easy to get away with.
you're in california. yours would be crushed and you'd be charged with a felony.

[Drift N Dragg]

WELL SHIT! Even if it's out of State Registered? This is becoming kind of a hassle now.. I think it would be easier to just Buy a S13 or S14 Shell and build one of them. It's not a Skyline, But its Still a Silvia...

[BustedS13]

actually it'd be a 240sx.

[Future240]

actually it'd be a 240sx.

This.

If you put jdm aero on it, convert it to RHD, put in an SR, and put Silvia badges on it, it will still be a 240SX.

[udon!]

no matter how you do it body panel, lights, stock wheels ect... will never ever ever have as good of fitment as a real skyline.

[bardabe]

damn that recaro is so dam high he must be a midget.

not legally but he's 5'4" lol

[zenki.life]

eh. different. id rock it. wouldnt spend the money or time to build it though

[HyperTek]

no matter how you do it body panel, lights, stock wheels ect... will never ever ever have as good of fitment as a real skyline.

wahh?


anyways, would be sick to see this car on some flush wheels stretch tires slammed, i bet everyone would say its awesome lol

but since it has rb and rhd now, you jus tcant drive this on the road anymore, too risky regardless. Id take it to cars & coffee tho just for kicks.

[TheWolf]

sure they're both nissans but what we're really talking about here is kit car crap... is a fake as good as the real thing? if it talks like a duck and walks like a duck and looks like a duck and is covered in duck feathers... is it a duck? sure.... One can argue that a fiero with a testarossa body kit and trick race suspension handles the same as a real ferrari.. doesn't make me want one though.. you either value your car for the #'s it puts down or for what mark it is.. if it's a fast turd... it's still a turd..

[240sxxs]

so...you guys said that the guys that build the lamborghini countach in his underground basement is turd ??? if the guys strip down his s13 to the frame then it still a frame with a 240sx name...name are just name who care what people think... if u want it go for it..if u like it..rock with it,

[HyperTek]

well now that the s13 skyline has the proper running gear and im sure hes got suspension to bat, safe to say this aint no poser car.

[Bubbles]

I'd move before I do that stuff.

[DALAZ_68]

so...its a perfect fake? awesome...


i dont see the point in this, as i dont see the point in other conversions like s13.4,5 or s15.3 etc...

if he had enough money to put that much work into that car, he had enough money he could have saved and bought the real deal...

[240sxxs]

sure he can save up and bought the real deal..but no bueno...LEGAL Issues

[RastaS13]

I think it looks clean. too much money for me but hey she looks sexy as hell. If that thing drove up on me i would think it was legit. too legit to quit

[ThatGuy]

The headlights aren't legal, they point the wrong direction.

The engine isn't legal.

I'm sure there are plenty of other aspects of that vehicle aren't LEGAL.

Your argument is moot.

[DALAZ_68]

if he bought one that was DOT prior, no issue, there were some, we all know it, illegaly done, but still they have there paper work. mined u if he would have waited he could have saved even more to modify a REAL R32...but w/e

thats the problem with the our generation, always living in the now, never wanting to wait save...

that too...

[bardabe]

All you guys, need to stop arguying geez lol i love it how every time pictures of Mark's car come up everyone starts either flaming away. the way i see it either you Love it or you Hate it.

that car wasn't built or made to impress anyone, to show off, or be bragged about. we made it when we where in High School, Much Like My S13 this car was built so we can feel good about something we made and happy oto Drive Around.

yes if He Wanted or cared enough about buying an R32 he would have bought it yes he spent more on that car than he would have on a real R32 GTR. Then again we Gained allot of knowledge and Experience building that car, and that car is part of the reason I am the Man I am now, its a very nice car, and I care dearly for it. just how everyone cares for their own car.

[/end rant]

[HyperTek]

thanks, i know it seems like he doesnt like to share this car on the forums for said reasons above, think you can sneak a current pic or with the TEs on it?

[S14_Kouki]

I saw like 2 years ago or so that this fake r32 was not turboed just had a intercooler chillin there

[bardabe]

you probably saw it post the 26 swap. allthough the 26 swap was done about 2 years ago lil longer i think. someone paid him to let Hot Import Nights Show the car right after the swap

[S14_Kouki]

Thats cool well it looks great for being a 240sx converted
