It fits, but you probably could not get them to seal. I have an instructional video of a guy who did a 180 conversion and he got 180 windows off ebay, but the problem was the sealant is applied at the factory when they are installed and it is really hard to get them to adhere if you replace them.

It's actually not too bad if done professionally from what the installer is telling me. If you're doing the 180sx window install, more likely than not, you'll need to get the window seal kit from Nissan. I've been quoted $105 a side. So looking for both sides you'll need $210 to get the rubber seal and sealant. What you'd need to get the window off is alot of elbow grease if you do it the way it's done on raretrick, or pay a professional to do it. I'm paying $70 a window to have a professional to come out to my house, cut out the old windows and install the new windows given that I supply the seal that goes around the window.
