Was browsing around on ebay and found this..

What do you guys think? Will there be intense fabrication? Will it look nice or what? I was orginally deciding either doing an S15 conversion or JDM kouki front end conversion conversion but since this came up i might consider it.

Why do you want to "convert" the front end of your beautiful Zenki anyway??

Such a waste if you do. And yes extensive fab will have to take place in order to realize this swap.

hey, another washingtonian. Don't do it. Your car looks hella fine the way it is. Spend the money on performance.

not worth it, fenders are shorter and wider. i posted some pics on here before, u can search for it. i sold mine because i didnt feel like messing with it and didnt have time. if u know how to fabricate things and have time, go for it. IMO not worth the money. i sold mine for half that price.

the r33 is the worst make of the skyline.

yea i thought about it today and ruled out r33 conversion, it looks kind of awkard like doesnt flow well lol.. but anyways im converting it because my friend crashed my car and its 3200 estimated in damage, so I told him to just give me 2800 and i'll do an s15 conversion or something since its cheaper than the estimate. Plus I can probably sell my car for more after the conversion since I'm planning to move onto a G35 coupe or something in the future.

An R33 conversion on an S14 is a big NO IMO...

IMO the zenki front looks a lot like an R33 already - especially with glass headlights. Not worth it.

in order for it to be done correctly and look decent, a huge amount of fabrication would need to take place. with that said, even afterwards i still think that conversion looks ugly, and also very costly. not worth the effort unless it's a show car and want to do something a little differently. but you zenki in your sig looks sick why would you want to change that?

I actually love them, check out our member Starkos.

he has a R33 s14.

Only reason i said to stick to s chassie is because the R33 front will run you a lot.

Is this his car? Somebody posted some pics of this same car a while back. I do like the front, but the sides and rear look ugly. I said no because his car looks great the way it is already...he can put that money into the engine...assuming that it could use some more power.

To me it still looks the same (almost)...but that's just my opinion. I mean look at the headlights. The Zenki's headlights just look longer than the R33's.

yea I recently looked at the jdm kouki bumper thread and fell in love with it, it would be more practical and cheaper to do than the s15 although I already have the s15 headlights laying in my bedroom floor right now lol..

Heres an Idea

Insted of converting to a TYTE SKYLINE OR S15

Why not leave it what it is, you didnt buy a skyline, or an s15 you bought a zenki s14, so why not leave it that way, anywho the zenki is beautiful plus everyone who has/gets one automatically wants to convert to kouki/s15/r33/camaro/rustang

Join the few who actually keep the beautiful zenki front end

With that being said

this one looks really nice, but i still wouldnt do it
