[xtypical360aznx]

If I had a S13 Coupe is their anyway to convert the car to look like the Skyline R32? Is their a kit? I know everything is possible and i know if i had enough money or had the good luck West Coast Customs and Xibit could pimp my ride but yeah. And make it look actually realistic. Willing to do SOME cutting. So any ideas? Front and rear end conversion.

If you want that much rice its a lot quicker to buy a steamer and a 4lb sack of Uncle Ben's. I have only seen one skyline conversion that ever looked good and the guy did it all himself with a lot of trial and error. If you ever tried to get your ride "pimped" I am warning you no one here would ever help you with that crap. I don't know if I should be blaming FnF or NeedForSpeed for this crap.

Come on, you already posted this on NwN and the thread got locked.

NO YOU CAN'T!!!!!!! No matter how much you spend, no matter how much time you spend, and no matter what you do. Ya know why? Simple. You own a 240sx. You could put the skyline bumpers, lights, badges, motor, complete drivetrain, RHD, and wheels on your 240sx but you will still own a 240sx. thats what it will say on you insurance (if you could find a company to insure you), registration, and title. 240SX 240SX 240SX. leave it be, drive it like a 240sx, and don't think of it EVER AGAIN!!!!!!!! Besides, all the extra weight you will have to put on the car just to do the "conversion" will make it so you couldn't take it anywhere.

[daconkiftador]

Yeah this thread sucks.

Wanna-be Skyline = Wanna-be.

[wa-chiss]

how many people do we have to flame for others to realize that some things should be left alone.

I said this about Silvia posing once...

A car is what it is recognized as by the government. No matter what you do to your car, you're still going to have to register it, and if you choose to sell it, list and sell it as a 240sx. That is unless of course you want to have a federal offense on your record when you get caught commiting motor vehicle fraud. This issue has been discussed countless times on here and each time it ended with a decisive edict that they are not, and never will be the same car no matter what you do to it. Unless you get a new legal vin establishing it as a different car, its whatever the vin says it is.

[wa-chiss]

wow. I never saw that. But hey, Great minds think alike.

[nismo 03]

yes it can be done and no it wouldnt look bad am a car lover and love seeing people try new things. start with the tail lights and a body kit take it to a shop that knows what they r doing and hope for the best.

[nismo_power]

ive seen one it looked pretty clean, he painted it and everything i mean this looked like a skyline r32...it was from a guy on this forum too...i went to his house to buy parts and i saw it man i was suprised for a second until i looked closer and saw that it was a s13... ...then i thought to myself this guy put alot of money into his car...if u can do it then and it comes out to be clean then good but if u do a sh**y job then that alot of money and time u have wasted....GL though....

[dickie]

there was a black widebody coupe that used r32 tails but the silvia front posted in general chat a few months back. i believe it was a shop's car, but i can't remember and haven't been able to pull up the thread. it was really nice-looking.

[itsXclassic]

Kinda like this?

[sil8tdrftr]

yeah... like everybody is telling you... it would be a lot of money... but then again i do like to see new things being done ... if you really REALLY want to do this

this is what i would do go and buy the rear end stuff ... bumper, lights, trunk, and rear garnish... there goes at least 800 dollars if not more

then the front end stuff... lights, hood, fenders, bumper, and lights.thats another 1000 already if not more

now it will look just like a 240 with r32 tails and front end... UGLY

BUT IF YOU LOOK CLOSELY YOU WILL NOTICE THAT THE REAR QUARTER PANNELS OF AN R32 IS WIDER AND MUCH BROADER

now go and buy a JDM tyte YO! wide body kit for the r32 and match the rear quarter pannels ... off the top of my head i think that the rear quarter pannels are like close to 500 dollars each

now for the real REAL good stuff NO ONE should be talking crap about is the chassis ... this is where all the money will go... ABOUT $14,000 -$16,000 to be exact FULL RACE in AZ will take your vert and remove the "S CHASSIS" in place for one of their r32 skyline chassis modded to fit 240 sx coupes and s14's thats everything including the RB26dett and double wishbone all wheel drive system with a torque converter handle that looks like another hand brake ... this will help you decide to go awd or rwd

IT COULD BE DONE... just need the money... that right there is already more than 20,000 dollars if not more:oy: ... and thats not including paint and other random stuff that you will be needing

it really just depends on how different you really want to be and how bad you really want it

now if you are serious call them up full race @ (602)437-2101or e-mail them ... [email protected]

[adrianfromthecastle]

imo, i'm sure it can be done. the chassis are completely different, so if you do the conversion, it might look funny, just like that s13 fastback that did the whole s15 conversion (front and back ). but i'm sure it can be done. theres a member here that did the r33 conversion with his s14, and it didnt look half bad. as far as companys go, i have no clue, but you might wanna look up BeeR racing, they fuk around with skyline conversions, but i dont know if they touch the s-chassis.

NO YOU CAN'T!!!!!!! No matter how much you spend, no matter how much time you spend, and no matter what you do. Ya know why? Simple. You own a 240sx.

you have no fuking clue wtf your talking about, so please dont reply useless posts in this thread, its pointless. if you read the origional post, he didnt ask for such useless sh*t. he didnt ask for your opinion how it go with the legalities or what nots. a conversion is a replacement of parts, not add ons to the ones you have, so how can you not be able to take it anywhere?

and Alfador, your looking for a fuking silvia front end conversion, heres the truth, it aint any different.

to the original poster, i'm not too sure if theres a specific company that makes this conversion because there isnt enough support in the market, so your better off fabricating your own sh*t, like everyone else that does that kinda thing.

[dickie]

still cant find the car i was looking for.

[xtypical360aznx]

Thanks adrians_s13, some of theses people, theses days. All i did ask for is their a conversion kit well well mckinneymotorsports.com makes a front conversion kit for it. I e-mailed them and they told me i needed to do some metal work with steel or pay a metal shop to do the wielding. Since i don't live anywhere near them, they suggested that but if i was willing to drive down their they would do it for them for a fraction of the price because i told them about how big of d!cks you guys have been to me.

... Yeah it's possible...gonna require custom work and some money though. It's your car do what you want if you have the money but I was never sure as to why people would convert their whole car into something else of a different chassis. It usually doesn't look good in the end. Front end conversions usually aren't bad, but when you transform your whole car into entirely something else...chances are it will look bad.

But yea it should be possible...there's that 240sx with a G35 rear and 350z...a lot of Accords running around with R34 widebody kits...and that one guy on cardomain who's murdering the $h!t out of his coupe with all that fiberglass.

Check here for the various conversions to see how they turned out:zerothread/183490

And look at this zer...k.jpg

Off topic: Is it me or do the S13 coupes get riced out the most? That might explain the rare factor...

its a funny thing, i mostly agree, but there are some exceptions. what fullrace did was stick a USDM s-body onto a GTR bottom basically.... thats some grey area.

and I will continue to call my s13 a silvia, as i am doing a vin-swap, the legal way (USDM unibody shell plus entire silvia = still a silvia) as i do have a title, VIN, and tags from the JDM car before i stripped it (even still have my japanese insurance papers)... not that the tags, or any of it makes a difference in the grand scheme of things

but alot of people get really bent out of shape on a name. go try a pumpkin-pie flavored milkshake, theyre pretty good.

Calm down dude. He didnt ask you for your opinion on what you "think" is rice or not.

[CleanSfourteen]

I LOVE R32's.... but i dont understand why you would want to spend the money on converting your S-body into something it is not....

If i could have a sleeper 240sx with a crazy setup under the hood, i could care less about looking like a skyline. Yes it is possible, apparently there is a kit.

But personally, i would just move overseas if I wanted one that bad... R32's are common over there and they sell for nothing (usually less than 7000 USD), US Dolla' goes a long way over there

[xtypical360aznx]

I dunno my whole life i've taken offense to people call stuff ricer and etc. Being asian and all and no offense but them being umm causasian. I feel alittle discriminated against specially when the "ricer" belong to another causasian or to a hispanic or to african american. Why dont you call it Rice and beans!?!? or Fried Rice :-D? or McDonalds Style Rice

[xtypical360aznx]

I dunno im just not a big fan of the coupe tail lights nor am i to the S14. I dunno Skyline ones are little more unique. and they would fit. So if i threw a tails lights i'd have to the rest of the back to make it look right but then i couldnt run around with just rear looking skyline and S13 looking front so i'd have to do the front too. Cause I'm buying a coupe thats got the RB in it already so the engine can match the body :-D. I favor hatches better but this was such a good deal I couldnt pass on it so i'm going to put my fedish and get the coupe :-D

My cousins in Japan always call my 240sx a Silvia, my Japanese homies call it a Silvia and so does my GF..Anyways I call it a 240 when im up here in NIco or to anyone else but Japanese folks are so used to calling it a Silvia that when i talk to them i just call it a Silvia too.When in Rome eh????

7k? for an older GTR maybe ... but if you jsut want to drive a skyline 2-door, you can get an R32 GTST for under $2k in awesome shape easily, at least from the marine lemon lots (i knew 3 guys with r32 gtst s , 2 were even the same maroon color.... one of them filled his ashtray and door handles.... anywhere cup-like with little beads.... he was a wierd guy tho
