It doesnt take a genius to figure out r33 tails wont fit without gaping holes or fabricating.

Yes its been done and no, there aren't any kits for it so it will be custom and expensive.

What makes you think taillights of this car,

will fit on this car?

Lights are cool on a skyline but ultra ghey on a 240. Seriously go put some accord light on your honda. It would make the silvia headlight accord owner happy.

well I'm doing R33 lights on my 91 hatch, but I have the Jacquemond wide body kit so it's not going to take much fab for it, just making the hole alittle bigger, here's a pic of the panel and lights the kit came with and my R33 lights I'm going to put in instead.....oh yeh, I'm using just the round lights of the R33, not the whole thing....................................and since I have a rb in my car, I think that gives me the right to use the lights and it not being gay!

Just my opinion. The 180SX Type X tails are WAY better on an S13 than any molded crap, but then again, you've barely got an S13.

Jaquemond

rather get a used 91-92 nsx or so 25-30k with decent miles.. instead of the rb26 with all that stuff... but whatever floats your boat. put my money down a "race inspired car is a lot better than a sporty car with an rb" also with sharper and more exotic lines than the weird looking rear fender vent and the "round body... not curvy"

if all that custom body work done to that jacqasdf looks like something like this then i have nothing to say. notice how wide the fenders are... how the taillights aren't just flat, and a lot of other details. the only thing from the jackljssaddsa body kit that resembles an exotic car is really the wide fenders and side scoop... other than that it's just round. sorry for flaming but you brought up the "my 240 looks better than any saldjasj you could ever build" subject.

If you want the car to be one of a kind then don't look at any other car or talk to anyone. Draw the car and start playing with ideas. If you come up with something totally from your imagination with no outside influence it is certain to be unique. You cannot do the following things though cuz I already did em.paint the car pinkcover the inside with Winnie the Pooh fabricorvent the wastegate through your hood. (vids to come )

Everyone is entitled to opinions. I gave mine. Don't be a whiny b1tch. I said that the R33 tails look like pewpew on S13s. You disagree? Fine, I don't care.

That bug was a joke. If you had read the thread, I got it for free. It's in the middle of a dune buggy conversion right now. Some would say that, like you, I'm ruining a perfectly good car by making it something it's not. But then again, I started with a pile of crap.

Why don't you wait for someone to say that before getting defensive? All I said was that aethetically, you barely have an S13 going. That Jaquemond kit CHANGES, instead of COMPLIMENTS, all the lines on the S13. You want to build an Enzo wannabe? Go for it! It's just sad to see the S13 being relegated to a little more than a kit car all of a sudden.

anyway Guys, it's cool if you don't like my car, I was just playing around when I was getting defensive. I knew from the start when I was planning everything that 25-35% of NICO members would like it and the rest would hate on it. The fact is, is I know a bigger majority of people(outside of the NICO community) are going to love it when it's done.The reason I picked the Jacquemond kit was cause my car will be putting out anywhere from 600-700whp and I can put extremely wide tire and rims without it looking weird.

yeah but do you see where the fender meets the front bumper on my kit, well the Masa front bumper is different(well diff then mine) so yeah, I'll have to do some custom work to get them to fit together.
