That, my friend, is a Nissan Stagea. It is available with the RB26DETT that the R34 comes with. I think it also comes with the ATESSA AWD system too.

When it comes down to it, I'd rock the hell outta this. Especially since I have a family to haul around.

Here it is in its stock form...

Also agree with Ian on the statement "buy a car that you like..without needing to change it!!!"
Then uh whats the point of this forum?? Close it down shows over! Isn't this forums mostly modified cars? OP Search, NICO chicks and dudes you overreact too much. The OP did ask 'bash me for a ugly idea' he asked 'bash me for a question that have been asked almost weekly'

There's a vert clip floating around on youtube that looks good, but that's the only one I've seen, as over done as they may be the s13.5 and brick conversion are the way to go.

Although driving the FC now I'm starting to like my pop-ups!

Line up looks good to me...and if you notice we cut the 240 fender and skyline fender to retain the 240 body line on the rear of the fender,we also pie sectioned and shortened the arch to make it smaller to FIT the 240.This was probaly one of the first 240s to have a skyline front on it in america,also the front end is not the only thing from a skyline

wow how about no r32 conversion to your 240! jesus drop that money into a swap atleast! a ca is around a grand, a t kit for your ka is round the same range, how about you dont focus on looks n build a fast clean car instead of a ni..er rigged front ended 240 that looks like as$!

Wanna race??

Also , A CA?? seriously??a CA ..i wouldnt put a ca in any of my cars... arb20 is around a grand and is alot more sexy sounding

BTW my car does not look like that anymore ,it looked like that back in 2001..it also has a RB20 (i would say what it made but nobody would believe me without a graph) .....then boom.

and i was not the one who put the r32 front end on it,im just stickin up for the guy who did because he did a great job and it is not a jalopy

I wouldn't say its a jalopy. I would just say if you want an R32 buy an R32, if you want a 240sx buy a 240sx........I would stick with what you got IMO just keep it clean

well if you think it looks cool more power to you

personally i think it looks like hell

call me crazy but id rather see a 4x4 status than the r32 front on a 240 fastback

is it even a GTR? looks more like a GT-S front

maybe you can make it look alright on an s14- if you spend the money to make it right

not bad. hopefully mines looks better when im finished



im not feelin this. it just doesnt look right. at least post a fully painted car, a half painted car is just a bad example imo. it is clean but why go from pop ups (dope transformer spirited) or projectors (silvia) to plain headlights?

but how much did it make? what mods? im working on an rb20 as we speak?
