any thing is possible if you got the $$ :D hehebut seriously, they do look kind of similar. the best you could do would probably be a good look-a-like. Probably wouldn't look half bad. It would be a mini-skyline of sorts. :)

Its possible, and it will look nice, but keep the 240sx badging, pretty please.

You could get the R32 lights from Night 7 racing and probaly the tailights too.

You could have some custom fascia front made made.

and some sideskirts possibly.

and be sure to come back when your done, I wanna see the pictures.

As John said, dont advertise your car as being a skyline if you do all of this work on it. It isnt a skyline and never will be, so please keep the 240 badging. But yea, good luck with your car. Sounds like a good plan

1. Anything is possible with money. But that's no excuse to waste it.2. Yes it has been done. Ive seen a black S13 coupe converted to a R32 Skyline, and trust me, it doesnt look right other than the headlights that dont fit too well. Cars should not be morphed to look like somethin theyre not. Sileighty is an exception.

and to someone else it prolly looked beautiful. the point is, if he wants to get crazy and try it, it's his money, his car. I wouldn't do it, and I wouldn't reccomend it, but I wouldn't try to stop him either. But then again, he said he wanted advice, so I guess we can advise him not to do it.It would never be a fully converted r32 skyline, just a s13 240sx with a r32 headlight/taillight conversion and a motor swap. My advice would be to take a look at the silvia. the headlight conversion always looks awesome on an s13 and it is easy to do as well.
