s13 with s30 front conversion, never done one

[lilhonda]

hey guys im putting together a pretty fun project car, i have a 240 hatch and its getting a rb25 and thinking about trying to put the rhd skyline dash insted of the s13 rhd dash, i have the s13 rhd conversion and a skyline front clip with motor and everything, done that before, but i have never put a s30 240z front end on a s13 iv seen it before but it looks pretty sexy, it seems like if u cut the s13 fenders straight down in the front i can just fab the headlight buckets and front lower valance right one it, then put the s30 front hinges so it will open 240z style. defiantly the hard parts gonna be mixing the s13 hood and s30 hood together, thats what i have in mind but curious if anywon on here as done that conversion before or seen it done and can give me some pointers

really lol, i think it looks pretty good, and what hasint been done to much to a s13, silvia fronts are old news skyline fronts boring. just want something that will make people think about it again lol

Pretty sure the general consensus you'll get on this forum is that it's hideous. If all you're trying to do is be different, you'll definitely achieve that but I don't think you'll get many positive opinions or solid fab advise for this.

[lilhonda]

lol allright, honestly im not doing it for people opinons just want to do something different, and thought i would ask the bigist nissan page to see if people have done it before, lol but i defiantly understand ur guys reservations its a touchy swap, but i belive it will turn out good and defently different

[Dolph_KYAS13]

there are a couple of examples in the conversion thread. they all do look pretty awful.

[lilhonda]

Hahaha wow everywon thinks it looks like crap. There's gotta be on person on here tha thinks it looks good lol

[corkscrew]

not my cup of tea, but i can appreciate the bodywork. came out pretty damn good

[DJ-of-E]

It'sgoing to be a lot of fabrication and customization. This is definitely not a bolt-on affair as the 240z front end is narrower wheelbase than the 240sx. The picture you've just shown has the front end sitting a good 5" higher than a stock 240z, that's why it won't look good in person. It's kinda like a car doing the "duck face."

[Steinkrunk]

Ef it, if you're trying to be different why not put a front end on that has never been done before?? Go full retard and throw a nissan leaf front end on it or something. 240z front end is so played out!

But seriously, don't do it

[cotbu]

I like it, but it better have something nasty under the hood. I mean some time travel type of shit or it'll be pee'd on even worse for being a bastardize abomination of a nissan fanboy. But people's opinions should ever matter unless you get down like that, chozen with an OZEN!:cool:

So why not just buy an S30?

[s13rhdhatch]

Looks like shit imo

If you're looking for an approval to stroke your ego, you're not gonna get it from here. It sounds like you already got your mind made up...what's the fucking point of asking us? We told you it will look like a pile of herpes but you still want to do it so fucking do it.

Hey look, nobody has done this stupid swap before...

Nissan actually offered the s30 conversion for s13 as an option.
Doesn't mean it looks good.

Why do we STILL get these "hey bro I'm gonna do _______ conversion what do you guys think" threads.

Do people really need that kind of validation from total strangers???
If YOu think the conversion or swap or whatever is worth doing, DO IT, and THEN make a thread showing us. No more of these lame ass "hey I'm thinking about doing this, but only if OTHER people think it's cool" threads.

[brndck]

And also, if you had taken the 2 seconds to search, you would have found this thread. Ya know, the one we already have. The one we don't need to make more of because we already have one and don't need two of.
