Has this been done before? If you know anything about this conversion I'd love some info.

Thanks!

It wouldnt look too bad on a S13 coupe, the lines are similar and the rear panels look almost the same from the side view. I saw a pic of one on a hatchback and didnt like it at all... sorry i cant find any pics as of tonight.

its been done on an s13 around moreno valley, doesnt look to bad, but the guy tried to pull it off as a real skyline which it obviously was not, things that are noticable is the r32 front end is wider so you will need something to go along with that in the rear, need a good body shop for proper alignment, other then that i've heard that it can bolt up nicely and fit well just some of the proportions are out of whack that you need to fix, other then that it looks pretty nice, but can be cheap or expensive depends how you do it.

Speaking from experience, if you're gonna just do the body panels, it will all "pretty much" bolt up, except you will have to fabricate new brackets for the headlights and bumper...

I have a few pics of the Jarco shop 240 i'll put up in a min.

I personally prefer the R33 GTR front end, that gives you the nice headlights and the GTR grill...

I actually like it. That's the Jarco Corp. car, theyre the ones who sell all the best stuff on ebay actually from japan not "jdm bride steering wheels". They always have strange stuff like turbo Paseo clips.

there was a guy at nopi nats back in september in atlanta that had a coupe and did a full r32 conversion front and rear body panels - even had RHD ( cut his firewall out and welded a new one in for the steering)

Seen it done a few times, looks good when done right.

Also, you are lame for thinking of putting a R32 front end on a 240.
