dark red sil-80 or r32-180 in mass?

[JimLecesse]

a buddy of mine at work recently told me he saw a car like mine (92 240 hatch) with a "frontend like a skyline".. and yesterday another friend said he saw what looked like a dark red sil-80 with a 180sx rear panel. he said the front end mightve been an R32 front end (my friends all drive trucks and hondas so who knows...) anyways both of these sightings were in Raynham, MA. i was just wondering if the owner of this car was a NICO member, so here if youre here - show yourself! hehe

Yeh they saw my car...

thats sweet lookin. i wonder how it looks when its painted.

[goomba240]

Yuck! that doesnt look to good.. Maybe on a coupe but not a FB.. And all that and its still 4 lug WTH!!

[marshun]

[Onizuka]

Yuck! that doesnt look to good.. Maybe on a coupe but not a FB.. And all that and its still 4 lug WTH!!

Put the crack pipe down, it's alright, there are treatments for what you have...

"OMFG 5 Lugg = speeeed!" :rolleyes

[Cyberkreig]

dood you cant be a serious drifta without the 5lug! Get cho upgrades in order!

[goomba240]

He had an r32 front clip already!! Do you guys not understand that?? the parts were at his becking to be put on.. I just dont see why he didn't put them on if he had them laying right there.. The hubs must not have been in tact or somethin..I just dont see why he would had taken them off and used the stock hubs??But yeah 5 lug speed drifta for realza w/e you guys say I guess the "whole show car body conversion thing" aint my cup of tea.. PEACE

PS.... I wonder what brakes he is runnin up front? Perhaps he drilled the GTS rotors for 4 lug? Only thing I can think of....

[Sliding_S14]

pts for rarity but ill agree it dosent look flush with the car the corner lights look like they stick out further then the fender and the headlights are slanted. just my opinion.

[[Zero-S]]

Thats very pretty. Still prefer a sileighty to it, but its very very pretty nonetheless.

[SeVa-S13]

....I guess the "whole show car body conversion thing" aint my cup of tea.. PEACE...

Other than show, that's absolutely no reason to go 5 lug so I'm not sure what you're point is.Besides, I'm not even sure that R32 hubs will fit an S13, and even if they did...he'd kinda be missing that rear 2? (=having to spend more money, uselessly)

[gabossie]

I think it would look good on a coupe, but I'm not a big fan of it on the HB. Still cool though.

You slam the car for having a conversion and 4 lug hubs. we slam you for being a tard. you justify the car having a conversion and 4 lug hubs.

Is anyone else confused?

[Dattebayo]

OKayokay break it up guys, its just his opinion. Besides, i have to agree with goomba on this one. It just doesnt look right for some reason, although i may have to see it painted properly.

[SeVa-S13]

In my opinion, the Dodge Colt front end looks *alright* on either S13, but the R32 would look so out of place on a coupe...They're very straight-lined designs, and throwing big, rounded headlights on the front might look silly. =\

[Cyberkreig]

they do look remarkably like the dodge colt dont they?

[AkiraSkyEighty]

Actually, I didn't have a front clip, it's all sheet metal from an HCR32 Skyline GTS-t. I don't see a point to a 5 lug conversion, it's money I'm not wasting on my car. Like Sliding_S14 said, the fenders are not flush at all, those pictures were taken after a 9 hour day, the corners and headlights are all even now, and GTP International is making 240 to R32 conversion fenders, I'm trying to get first dibs. It's a project I have been dreaming of for a while, but if I can't get my hands on those fenders, I'm going back to the 180 front.

[BuLLeTdrift]

yea this car is ugly. if ne 1 was gonna do this to their car and already has the parts, just throw them in my back yard cuz people say its ugly. but don't be mad when you see me w/ all of it on my car. lol. i think it looks pretty tyte.

[AkiraSkyEighty]

Truthfully... I wouldn't reccomend anyone doing it. This is out of all seriousness, not just because I wanna have the only one on the East Coast (as far as I know) but because you have to literally butcher the front end to do this. I had to make custom brackets and everything, it's also 3-6" longer then the stock front, which I think gives the body a sleeker look, but kiss your safety goodbye. Also, without conversion fenders, you have to either shell out over $1,000 to make it flush, not even including mismatching trim, but just stick with it being wider and do a widebody. It is a cool project and all, but looking back I wish I kept the stock front. We'll just have to see where the future takes my Sky Eighty, but I just have to say it's not easy being a pioneer... and thank god GTP is stepping in and being the first company to actually produce conversion fenders, it's going to make things 10x easier for me.

[BuLLeTdrift]

i think its dope, man. but it does sound like a lot of hard work. but hard work = big pay off. good luck wit it in the future.

[JimLecesse]

so did we figure out whos car is in Raynham, MA? was it yours Vengeance?

[goomba240]

I just think 5 lug opens up a huge world of different wheel choices(OEM NISSAN) I guess im just a big fan of stock Nissan wheels.. also makes big brake kits alot easier.. My buddy drilled supra rotors to 4 lug to put on his S13 and he regrets it everyday.. And what kinda brakes are you running up front? And you dont see a point to 5 lug? I dont see a point to putting a gts-t front end on an S13.. Its just my opinion.. Props on all the work though man!!And Cyberkreig??? just shut up im not "slamming" the guy at all... I posted my opinion.. Like alot of other people did in this thread. And yes I was confused I assumed he had an r32 front clip, and was just wondering why he chose to use the 4 lug hubs over the 5(I now know that he didnt have a front clip so my previous statement should be overlooked).. There are ton's of people on this site that payed alot of money for 5 lug conversions.. So go make fun of all of them for "wasting money". And 5 lug rear hubs arent to expensive. I picked up some off a z32 at a junkyard.. I got them for free. All I had to do was climb on the crusher pile and get them off my self.. And even If the car had been sitting in the yard im sure they wouldn't have charged to much. And for the record GTS hubs do work on an s13.. It took some fabrication but I got them on my FB and they work great.. Ive been told by several people that they dont work, they do there just not a direct bolt on.

that car j spec tuner posted, i have actually seen it in real life. i live in saratoga new york, and saw it at the mall, very close to schenectady where the owner of the car lives. it looks uhm...decent. i do give credit where it is due, they did a very nice job putting all of the parts on, its not cobbed up or ratty looking. just isnt my style, i love the pop ups!! at first i wasnt sure if it was the same car, but ill never forget that liscence plate! lol. anyway, just figured i would put in my 2 cents. it feels good to finally see something cool, very hard to find other 240 enthusiasts in new york!!

No kidding, PM me sometime let's meet up, I'm looking to meet up with more 240 guys. The car's far from done and if I don't get these fenders from GTP I'm just going back to stock.

[easymmkay240sx]

I can't wait for those conversion fenders too! I just hope they make it fit with the stock R32 support, bumper and hood so I don't have to shell over more $$ for the "conversion" hood bumper and use stock 240 supports

[JimLecesse]

oh cool i found him, he works at gamestop. not that anyone cares haha im just happy cause i found a fellow 240sx'er in Raynham, MA

[easymmkay240sx]

so was it a sil-80 or a sky80?

[JimLecesse]

it was a sil-80, aero bumper. wicked clean install . i talked to the kid for a while, told him he'd better get his *** on NICO cause its the best. i might be selling him some parts and stuff. he had gotten in an accident so thats why he bought the silvia front end. we talked for a while.. basically about how jealous he was of my SR but he seemed cool and im glad i found a fellow 240 owner to shoot the stuff with.
