Looks ok i guess. the headlights look huge on the car

I think it looks pretty wicked......Just my opinion kinda cool. I wanna do it to my coupe. Well I dunno about conversions because its like shouldn't you be proud to own the car you do...I mean a jdm conversion is cool but like a s13 with a 15 front end is kinda like saying you aren't proud you own a 13 in my opinion.

it doesn't look good to me. think it would look better on a coupe. but wouldn't spend money to do it. props for being able to pull it off tho... i guess.

Props to the work involved...

But I don't feel it... The Skyline front is too boxy for the 180sx rear. Would look much nicer on a coupe imho.

I think the r32 front would look better on an s14.
or even put an s15 front on an r33.. that would be sweet.

its orginial ill give it that, it needs painting to get the real picture of how it will look.

11-03-2003, 01:08 PM

its a clean conversion but doesnt look good on the fastback. I would of got a s13 coupe put the conversion on and get wide body fenders in the back. Maybe an aftermarket kit, if it looks good the way it is i would leave it. :axe:

I wouldnt mess with the R33 fromt end... why? ITs the best looking skyline IMHO. Dont mess with whats already good.

As for the conversion seen here.... I dunno. Doesnt look so bad. heavier though... not necessary. Rather spend the cash on suspension work or frame stiffening.

Should have used a GTR front and a coupe body. Also add R32 taillights and rear flares. The ulimate car trickery!

11-03-2003, 05:19 PM

I think it looks alright, only if your looking at the front end of the car. If you see the whole car, the lines front to rear just don't run together. I will say that it is much better that s14 w/ the r33 headlights. I personally would never spend the money for a "conversion." I'd rather drive a twenty color beater that could break 200mph that a pimped out '69 doin 5 on the boulevard.

11-03-2003, 05:21 PM

uuugly. but the r32 gts-t is a pretty sexy car, if i were living in japan id want to trade in my fc for one. mmm :bow:
terrible choice putting the front end on the hatch.. bleh

Way to put a bland front end on an otherwise sleek 240:rolleyes:

Doesn't look too great on a coupe either

I actually think it looks kinda cool. I personally wouldnt spend the money to get it done (or the time+effort), but I applaud his efforts and I would like to see it painted.

:D

Gross.

Best conversion is kouki 180sx front on S14. Mmmmm.

After seeing it, I must agree... R32 front stays on R32. :)

I believe that it has much more class that those sky-something conversions! :)

knightrider

11-03-2003, 08:38 PM

ive seen this done before, it was alright, it doesnt fit the lines of the hatch, its mo better looking on the coupe, but still not that great.

revat619

11-04-2003, 01:26 AM

eh, its ok, but only on an s13 coupe, but if you're gonna do it, PLEASE use the gt-r front! Every r32 front "conversion" i've seen uses the fugly gts-t front. That front sucks, imo. GT-R is much nicer.

NZO: That pic you posted of the s14 with the 180 front is pure hottness! :bowdown: I've never seen that before! Very classy looking! :bowdown:

stealthj

11-04-2003, 01:32 AM

all front ends should stay on their cars...

cept for the silvia front, that belongs on everything

i like the r34 GTR, i want one in blue, do you?

jenne313

i don't like it. waste time and money on an engine conversion before you bastardize your fascia. bah!

11-04-2003, 10:04 AM

I'm just not a fan of any front end conversions. Just do what you can with what you got. just my philosophy....

There is something to be said for having a custom or rare car. That Sky-eighty definitely gets credit for being that. It still looks pretty dman funny though. I definitely would have done it to a coupe though.

It doesn't look right. To different styles mixing. The R32 front would look better on a s14 however.

skyline looks like a giant ripped monster ready to kill and the S's look more like sly cat(especially s15).

Just out of curiousity I contacted a company regarding some skyline conversion parts....they said they could get me the fenders, hood, grill, bumper, lights, and signals for $1,150 shipped........which all in all isn't bad. I was thinking of it for my coupe but I think I would rather put the $1,150 into the engine :D Well, just thought if anyone was interested about prices that this is what I have found.

Bbandit

11-05-2003, 01:04 AM

1150 shipped.. but thats not including the fabrication...
add a couple more hundreds for fabrication and painting... might total up to 2g just for conversion...
the car will look JDM tyte with huuuuge wheel gap and tiny wheels on it... kinda like doraemon

matlock

11-05-2003, 01:15 AM

I know and I think I made it clear that Fabrication wasn't included in my list of supplies and stuff included. SOrry if I was unclear and anyone misinterpreted what I wrote!

Bbandit

11-05-2003, 01:34 AM

im sorry.. i didnt mean to offend you... im just sayin
but yea.. 1150 is not bad considering and S13 silvia front end cost almost a grand too
but yea.. no pun intended
sorry :p

matlock

11-05-2003, 03:05 AM

Hey sorry if I came off as pissed, but I wasn't. I guess I was just surprised because I thought I listed what was included clearly....no offense taken, and sorry if I was being a wuss. ME->:hammer:<-YOU! Sorry I was being dumb haha.

11-05-2003, 05:58 PM

Everytime I look at the 240Z front on a 180 I always think its a chop.

Just can't picture the two together.

It doesn't look ugly, but it doesn't look right.

I just really love the looks of 240Zs, and love the looks of hatches
