yeah, i'm pretty sure on this. i want to buy a 89-94 coupe. i know you guys will harrass me, but due to the fact i love the skyline, i'm going to make the coupe into a r32. it'll coast a bit... but way less than importing a real one. i know someone who can convert the tails with a matter of hours... and hes not too expensive. i beleive the front won't be that hard if i bought s13 fenders and hood. the headlights wouldn't be that hard to mold in, but getting a r32 bumper to the 240 size would be the hardest part, but i might give a shot. if worse came to worse, i would try to s13 front with r32 headlights. but after the body work... paint. i want to paint it superblack pearl. i know i can find a rb20det for an inexpensive price. i'd get a bigger turbo, and another n1 dual exhaust system. do you guys think i'm foolish to do this? i'm serious about it, so i'm searching for a coupe. can i have my fellow 240 owners back me up? give your opinion. thanks. r32 skyline is on the way! <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sneaky.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':pissed:'>

Hey, sounds like my plan. I want a S13 coupe to compliment my h/b, but I want to strip the interior, run carbs and make it a track whore.

I've got a 89 coupe sitting in my front yard, that I dream about doing this to constantly. I have a 91 but its a hatch. The Coupe looks so R32 it's not even funny. I bet if you can put up those Tail conversions for sale , I'd be in for a reasonable price. Anyway, I think your on to something , and i personal hope you can advance both your <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'> and my <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/devil.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':devil:'> Goals. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/lookaround.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':look:'>
Good luck
IMO the 95-96 look more like R32's than the S13's The body lines just seem more similar, nonetheless, an R32/S13 combo wouldn't be too bad

I dont think the s13 coupe looks nothing like the r32. The 95-96 s14 look a bit like r33's.

it might look alright but i'm not big on body modifications, i like a clean stock looking coupe but thats just me. i can see doingthe tails if you really want to cuz the red and amber tails are ugly IMHO. i dont know, i cant really picture it so maybe thats why i am so skeptical about this. it'd be awesome if you could get the rb20det . if you ever do complete this s13/skyline i'd like to see it, but i live with my stock looking s13 for now.

im confused here. are you saying that the coupe does or does not look like an r32? double negatives confuse me. thanks for clarifying that, when you do

OK in this case I can see how bringing up a dead thread is just stupid, however, what about bringing up a technical thread that has trailed off ie if you are having a headlight problem and you find a 18 month old thread that is related.
Should you:
1) Start a new thread and ignore the old thread?
2) Start a new thread and link to the old thread?
3) Bring up the dead thread and carry on smartly?

Replace "nothing" with "anything". I guess the newbies dont know that old posts shouldnt be brung back from the dead. :axe: Die post Die!!:axe:

As far as I have heard, the tails from a skyline will bolt right in.. the wiring is prolly different though...
and i have seen a few places that actually make front end skyline kits for the coupe... i think there is one on ebay right now.
just my 2c.
