No need to go thru the hassle of welding. Just use some industrial strength duct tape to hold the two peices together. You gotta line it up perfectly on the first try, cause this stuff wont come off.

Be careful though. The R34 has 18's wheels and the S14 only comes with 16's. It'll look kinda funny...

there are so many ways to flame ... but ima just hold my typing fingers from hurting your feelings and be the one to actually help you out and say... that is a bad idea because 1. the welds arnt gonna be good enough 2. the chassis is not the same3. double wishbone...(if you know anything about skylines)4. all wheel drive is not an option5. are you serious??? you cant find a show that will do that for you??? a show?

and search ... welcome to nico buddytry not to ask such "ricer" ?'s youll get flamed for it

so whatthey're gonna put GT-R headlights, taillights, engine, look alike bodypanels, suspension rims tires, interior, wing, etc.etc.etc. on an S14? or something more hideous?ummmmmmmmmmmm can't wait to see it?

and to the OP. I'd like to see that skyline front and 240 rear line up perfectly because [sarcasm] they are soooo the same size[/sarcasm]

Sooooooooo this IS a joke right?........right??? No? Ok then here are in no particular order the reasons why this is a horrible idea

1) R34 and S14 are not the same width, it would look like utter S***.2) No ammount of welding will ever make the car even close to solid.3) Assuming this somehow happened, getting the car inspeted,smogged (if needed), insured, and registered would be intresting to say the least4) Differences in suspension types for the R34 and S14 are very different, whick would result in horrible handling.

please stick around nico you'll see there are much better uses for an s14 than trying to make it something its not.

he wanted to do what

yeah all that and a bag of chips

a man we just playing but they told me that if u buy a 1998 honda civic it might fit the R34's frame then all u would need is some stickers, loud a$$ muffler and a huge wing TTT

STFU everyone except for Adrian and those who have more posts than me . I went back and looked at quite a few of your threads and they were fvcking stupid. To the original poster: I would say that this idea is not necessarily bad, just impractical. The amount of money that it would take to make the car safe and reliable outweigh the benefits. It will be cheaper and look better to do custom body work to mimic the skyline or buy one of the hybrids from Full-Race.

you'd be spending a crazy amount of money to do this. better to see if you can buy a rear clip off a r34 and patch those together

you guys are looking at this in the wrong way. As this is extremely dangerous and the frame will most likely have the rigidity of a wet noodle, This might be the last car this ricer ever drives? one last ricer in the world is always a plus.

okay I have the end all be all solution.

give me the R34 front end, including motor and tranny.

and your 240. you don't deserve it

and afterwards i'll slap you, or at least chuckle as i drive away in the rb26 powered s14 i recently acquired. RWD that is.

I'll even let you keep the extra pieces like the R34 headlights and what not to sell on e-bay!
