very clean conversion, but he went with the zenki... i know 100% that the headlights actually cross paths. its a crosseye conversion due to the fact he used a zenki hood, which forces the lights closer together(making it look awkward). zenki headlights with corners are the same size as r33 lights and almost fit in there perfect with little mods to the rad support. its convenient, but the left headlight will be on the right side of the road and the other way around with the other. its way cleaner than my car, but at least my headlights are pointed straight and i beat the ever living crap out of my car, so i will never care to have the conversion done any cleaner. oh well, its all about fun and having what you want.

Also, whats wrong with having a 240 that looks like a skyline. in terms of drivability, 240 > skyline. plus a s14 has like 500lbs on a real r33. with the right setup under the hood, the 240 will be right there with the r33 or smoke it, depending on models of course. i like the fact that my car looks like a skyline, cause ive loved them over 10 years now, but drives and drifts like a 240. i have no complaints, the haterz will hate but thats what you live with, as long as you are happy, who gives a f***

thanks man, here's the link to my writeup, well sort of a writeup.... it was the best i could do. I started to write a few years ago then put me 3 hours into writing and wasnt even close to finishing and gave up. to do the conversion the way i did it was not the easiest, but i wasnt gonna take the easy way just to get the lights to fit in there, i wanted it to look as close to a factory car as possible.

Yeah, it might look like an R33... until a real R33 pulls up...
