I've always had some ballsy plans, but the project I've got going takes the cake, by far. Not to jump the gun or jinx myself at all, but for now ill plant a couple seeds...

19s + BN + full wide body skyline conversion for the short term (hopefully for HIN Miami in Dec) But that isn't even the most ambitious part of it...

But i don't want to thread jack, this man deserves his cred!

yea dude, if I start makin bread im totally down. i wont have troubles w/ the wheels and kit, but the rear conversion will be the hardest part getting done on time...

I already have a lil club / crew here in Tampa that I've started, so either I show solo, or with them.

But definately either secured car inside the convention center or not taking it (less I have a garage to put it in...) i do NOT trust Miami valets...

I say ditch those over fenders and get the Origin Type 2 wide fenders. They are styled after the R32, and look tits.

if the body shop guy and fit the r32 conv. he can fit the front.

The kouki front is pure sex on wheels, no doubt about that. I'm not feeling the R32 tails though. I always felt that the R32 style was the weakest of the three and never ever looked right on anything except an actual Skyline. It's looking really well done though, so more power to ya!!

Have you seen 110octane's vert? Makes me wish Nissan had made a drop top version of the S14. Then again, if they had my car would be worth considerably less.

Looks great so far to me. I think you can put whatever front end you want to on i, but I think the ADM S13 front looks great with that rear you put on it. If it were mine, I would leave it like that, put a sleepy eye mod on it and drive. That's me though. I think the Skyline rear and the 240 front combination is a little reminiscent of a C4 Vette. That is unique........ I can't picture it with the kouki front though. I'll just have to wait and see.

not on a hatch....i think the kouki front on a hatch looks ugly. imo.

stock koukis with no lip or anything looks wierd to me. Don't get me wrong..i love kouki s14's they just look wierd unmodifed....like a lot of cars.

jdm verts look ballin.

and yea you gotta be a vert owner to find out.!!
