the front themselves look good but it really doesn't flow with the rest of the car much. I like 180's/240 hatch's with the pop ups. They look like they belong.

Hmooblis, you took the words right out of my keyboard (cliche w/a twist). I was thinking about that as my next project car after I get this one done(wishful thinking, I'll never be done). I think it would probably look just like an r32.

the coupe with the skyline front would look alot better. with a r32 front it would look just like one.

Post by **hmooblis** » Sat Oct 18, 2003 9:41 am

yup, this would be a sweet project,but it's gonna take time for me because i want show and go, so i'll have to wait.

Hi everyone, sorry I didn't post earlier, I never knew my car was up on here

. I'm the owner of the 240 hatchback with the HCR32 GTS-t front end on it. I'll be happy to answer all questions about this. Let me start off by saying this conversion is a pain in the ***! It's not completed yet, but if you are thinking of doing this, be prepared to butcher your car. All the latches and such up front were gutted (the Skyline is about 6-8 inches longer then the 180 body). We had to lift the fenders to match up correctly, they do not match up body line wise, so custom door moldings will have to be made or you'll have to just mold the existing lines. The fenders stick out a bit, we're working on that problem, tucking it in a bit more but I bought 55mm wide rear fender flares, so it's going to look like a wide body. My car started out as a 1990 180SX conversion, so it has 180SX rear quarter windows and the 180SX center tail panel, thus it's title "Sky Eighty". I do want to warn you, when getting R32 Skyline headlights, beware. First of all, if the projector lights are out, you have to get H3 bulbs, only problem is, the JDM H3s are two prong, the USDM H3s are one prong, so either you have to find a way to get JDM bulbs, or you have to jerry rig USDM ones. Also, the reflectors in the headlights are prone to coming undone, my original left headlight had this problem. I ordered new ones and they both suffer the same fate. This is a project for the person who's looking for something completely unique and doesn't mind the hassle, since it's been done I've thought many times I wished I had kept it stock... but when someone compliments you or asks if it's a Skyline, it's all worth it. Any other questions, just shoot them my way.

thanks for the feedback, do you have current pictures of your car?

Post by **hmooblis** » Sat Oct 18, 2003 9:41 am

just for chat, i see that that was your first post- i smell a story?

Post by **AkiraSkyEighty** » Sat Oct 18, 2003 9:41 am

Those are just about the most up-to-date photos as of now. This weekend we're fixing some little kinks, i.e. the slightly sagging bumper, the oversized fender issue, and moving the bumper over a couple inches. After that the whole car's being primered and eventually painted black. I still need to mold the rear fender flares in, I wanted to get a Bomex GTS-t front aero spoiler and 180SX sides and rear, I eventually plan on dropping in a CA18DET(I do have my reasons for picking a CA). On an interesting side note, after I had removed all the excess frame and metal up front, my car lost some considerable weight. That same weekend, I raced an SR20DET powered 240, complete with Apex'i exhaust and FMIC, and: A) beat him in the 60 foot, B) had him till 3rd, and C) lost by 1/2 a car length. I was pretty astounded by this, so weight reduction helps a lot, haha.

Woah! AkiraSkyEighty nice job man. I've never seen your car before.

Post by **AkiraSkyEighty** » Sat Oct 18, 2003 9:41 am

Thank you very much, I appreciate it. The car has gone a long way from a 1990 180SX conversion to a Sky Eighty, haha. Actually, if anyone's interested in those Sparco rims that are on the car now, let me know. They're right from Japan, wrapped in Falken Azenis. I have to get larger rims so I have no need for those, unfortunately.

Post by **droptopsilvia** » Sat Oct 18, 2003 9:41 am

where are these pics at?how much for the rims?

Post by **AkiraSkyEighty** » Sat Oct 18, 2003 9:41 am

The link up top to APG Motorsports. I'm asking $800 for the rims and rubber. I can't put a pic on here, they're too big.
