why do you want to do a s14 front with the r32 rear IMO i dont think it flows very whell. the r32's are so round while the s14's are sharp and edgey.

The work looks good! But it looks like your going to need some new wheels or some big spacers to sit flush.

why dont your do the r32 front? i know it's been done before but i just think it will flow better IMO.

R32 vert

please dont put that wing way off the ricer scale!! On my car i have a wingless trunk and and origin wing.

The r32 conversion is looking really good. I just dont know about that kouki front end, i guess ill have to wait and see...Im not feeling the front bumper on that kouki you posted either. And as for the wing, i think you should go with the trunk lip that madcowvert posted, or like a wangan type wing might look alright. Keep us posted, its looking good.

Here's my input:

That R32 vert posted in that video looks really good. I'd go with the R32 front as I don't think the lines will flow well from the kouki s14 front into an r32 rear.

Regarding the wing, I say if you really want a large spoiler, stick with the r32 one that Nemo posted in the body kit thread:But I think the lip spoiler would probably keep the lines looking smoother when you have the top down.

Keep up the good work and keep the pictures coming!

Too early to tell. It might look really good if it's done perfectly. I hope Icky does a flawless job.

I think it's going to turn out awesome!I think the widebody overfenders will work really well with the R32 rear end. Plus lines of the S14 front with that kit will look really clean with the whole package.

As for the spoiler.. i'd keep it low if possible. Can you wait until the front end is on and the back end is done to choose the spoiler? It would help to see the top down and the rest of the car put together to see what would work well.. But in the end.. it's your taste that matters.. so do what you like.

Now here's the big question... what are you going to put under the hood to make that thing go as fast as it will look?

Jarco has a nice R33 front on ebay at the moment. They had an R32 front on a few weeks ago too. I'm sure if all is done correctly, it'll look good. Keep us posted!

If you are asking for feedback, i'll give it to you.

Lambo Doors are way too ricey!!! It would be a crime to do that to a 'vert.

In my own personal opinion, that would be a very poor decision. You'll end up hating them about the 5th time you have to repair your fender from some jerk opening it too far.

Ekion i have to say that on 99% of the stuff I agree with you but not on this one . I dont know why maybe it's the ricer trying to get out of me lol. But I myself thought of doing the lambo door thing i don't know why but i happen to think it looks cool . But don't worry I have told my brother to kick my *** if i was to order them.

the r32 rear conversion on the 240 HAS to be done with rear widebody. or else it doesnt look right, which is why I'm lovin how yours is turning out. I say you shove and rb in there, ditch the kouki front for an r32 front, and drive the first R32 vert ever:biggrin ! Keep it up man, good stuff

Yea, and don't forget that he has a neighbor to the north that has a skyline conversion in the making. Its taking me much longer, but trust me, it will be worth it...

I am very jealous of that man's ***, but hopefully my patience is going to pay off. Anyone looking to sponsor what will be (and I promise this) a cover car!?!?!? hahahaha
