it pretty clean and it kept the same trunk style, something that often gets hack up on most r34 conversions. still rice but at least its all one color and kept somewhat of the factory lines

i think if it had better fitting wheels, it would look 10 times better. maybe the 34 rear is too bulky/squared off for this type of conversion to look good.

it looks like a corvette and a grand prix double teamed a hatch.

Hehe,the best front and rear for the nissans of that era,cool

Looks like a crackhead that got a boob and ass job. The rear looks good... by itself, and the front looks good... by itself. It just doesn't flow with the skinneyness of the hatch doors. Some more aggressive skirts may help, but still EHHH.
To each his own... Cool find.

the rear is too big for the car, but I think with a little work, It could be awesome. Still dig it. why? cause someone took the time and effort to try and make it work, and actually got pretty damn close.

its clean but keep the tail lights on a real skyline.

Very well done, but the square rear end doesnt flow with the rest of the car.

The craftmanship that went into the car looks good. However I agree with everyone else, it just doesnt flow too well, too sharp of angles in the back for a hatch.
I think maybe if it had a different front end it might look better, the S15 front has too many curves compared to the rear of the car.

Agreed on craftsman ship. However the the end product looks like utter asshole.

+1. this is one of the better conversions ive seen. In my opinion, if the 180sx had wider doors and a beefier body then it would look better. The s15 body lines dont conform to the r34 ones, and 180sx is just way off. It goes from round and smooth, to thin and sharp, to bulky and squared off. And the r34 tail lights seem to be rather large, however i never liked them to start off so i might be biased.
Good work though, not my cup of tea but definitely something that will turn heads at a show. Fuck haters man, be yourself!

I think it looks great. reminds me of an oldschool bradley gt how the rear is wide and front narrow. Theres a lot of haters on here, but get some better fitment and not many could compare.

noted the comments.....
ride height and better set of wheels (thinking of bronze lmgt4) are needed

I would have never even thought of anything like this.
Props to having something no one has probably seen before, and at the same time, not hacked up. :D

I dont think the R34 back looks good on the hatch, but the front is sexy.

BN blister front fenders with masa fender extension pieces, wheels and a slight drop would MAKE this car.

i think the car has an identity crisis... it needs a shrink and some meds... love the blue though...

Think about what the car started out life looking like. Honestly I think this looks significantly better. It was obviously done by a really skilled fabricator as well which you dont see too often on these conversions. I personally like it. Good job.

other than the fact that this car looks like ass.....it was well done....
now all you need are some nos bottles.....a laptop......and an mitsubishi emblem and you've covered all the fast and the furious's.
on a side not....the s13 hatch with kouki tails....looks surprisingly good....wonder what it would look like with a kouki front too.

to be honest yea its kinda ricey but looking at the bodywork done they did a great job on the conversion though everything is soooo straight.

forget the haters:wtf:... looks killer, a little awkward but total props on a motherload of a hard work, just go rhd and your set! nice color too... dewfinately different, but i do agree on better wheels and slam that sucker! maybe a "TASTEFUL" spoiler, not a aluminum bench or even a r34 wing, somethin subtle...
