Quote by adrians_s13you have no fuking clue wtf your talking about, so please dont reply useless posts in this thread, its pointless. if you read the origional post, he didnt ask for such useless sh*t. he didnt ask for your opinion how it go with the legalities or what nots. a conversion is a replacement of parts, not add ons to the ones you have, so how can you not be able to take it anywhere?

ok, the thing about not being able to take it anywhere was an overstatement but the rest is not. Just like the guy earlier said, if you don't have 1) legal paperwork 2)correct vins and 3) the accual car you can call it what you want but it will still be a 240. No matter how you look at it. So in all accuality you can convert a 240 into a skyline but you will still have a 240. My post was not an opinion but true facts. The only reason people are doing "conversions" is because it costs too much money (for the average persons income) to fully legalize a skyline to drive in the states. And I do admit, making other people ask "what kind of car is that?" is rewarding.So what do they do? Buy/ make kits to make their cars look like a skyline. Keyword, LOOK. Definition: Apear to be. So making a car look (apear to be) like a skyline doesn't mean it is. Do you get my point.

this is what an opinion looks like. NOt just my opinion but a majiority of people on this forum have the same opinion as I. But opinions are like toilet paper. You use it for a short while then flush it. If he does the "conversion" the whoopie Just another 240 trying to look like skyline. Seen it. And it's not original anymore.

i see what your saying, but honestly, i wouldnt mind seeing a conversion that looks good (dont get me wrong, ive seen horrible conversions, i.e. civics w/ r34 conversions ). and if your talking about originality, nothing nowadays is original, what do you consider original, your average s13 w/ sr and kouki tail lights and/ or coupe with silvia front? i see more of those than r32 converions, i can tell you thats for sure. imo, conversions (when done right at least) are the most different you can get. like ive seen really nice looking trucks w/ escalade and navigator front ends... cool stuff. but to tell you the truth, if i had a coupe and were to do a conversion... i'd do the s14 one that yuri did... wow

oh and about the stuff you said about legalities n stuff... no i dont see your point on that.

s13 coupe + rb20det (or even rb26) + hazw8st > r32 illegally on the road.

yeah, bottom line, if you did all that, sure it sucks to know you dont really have an r32, but at least you can drive it.

This is NOT an opinion. you are DICTATING to him what he should do.

Now if you had put "I think you should" in front of that statement THEN it would be an opinion.

I never said they didn't look good. But yeah, if it's done right, it does look nice. like the black one posted previously I thought looked exactly like an r32. And yuri's conversion is the slickest 240-240 conversion I've seen. I think a conversion more than 1 person has done, or a conversion you can buy that is mass produced (like a lot of s13.5 conversions) is not original. doing one of a kind and unordinary things is original to me.

It all kind of depends on how you say it. But if it make YOU happy.I THINK HE SHOULD leave it be, drive it like a 240, and not think of it ever again. HOw's that for an opinion? Does that meet your criteria for an opinion mr. English psycology bananna up your @$$ major?

IMO I think if you want to do it go for it, as long as you don't parade the car around telling people its an R32, thats when it pisses people off. I love to see some GOOD bodywork done on cars, I mean otherwise I wouldn't enjoy silvia front end conversions. But that Black 240 coupe with the R32 front looks really good to me. I just enjoy that front end, and the rims are awesome.

He did us ask for ideas...and so he got opinions...he couldn't deal with some of the answers he got so he complained to McKinney Motorsports about big of d!ck some of the guys have been to him.

To the OP: 240sx coupes are really good looking. Why change it into something it isn't? My suggestion is for you to swap out the KA for an RB (Skyline engine if you didn't know) It's the closest you can get to it. Leave the outside alone. All that money for exterior appearances, can be used towards suspension, tires/wheels, performance, etc. Simplicity is sometimes the best way to get things done. An agressive stance, nice wheels, a simple aero or a lip will work wonders for you. I hope you will take this into consideration.

Telling you to do something is pointless because it's your car...but at least think about it.

It's funny to me that people keep calling this rice while they talk about having a sleeper with some crazy engine.

IMO there is nothing more ricer than wanting to have a sleeper!!! Why don't you haters all go rattlecan your car flat black so you can surprise somebody in a v6 mustang and feel cool for a few minutes.

You people are also all assuming that this guy only wants to slap a skyline body on it and be done. People on this forum jump to conclusions so freaking fast without asking a simple question. Maybe he want's his car to be fast and look good.

Besides, what's so ricer about wanting to have a car looks good? The black conversion already posted looks extremely good. Is that what people here call rice?

i think its a cool idea if you did motor swap and rhd conversion. Even if you didnt, it'd still be pretty tight. This is an S13 coupe w/ R32 conversion....I like it. The body on this one looks very nicely done.

The "BLAQ ICE" car has been in that same condition for half a year atleast. Hopefully they just canned it.

People were calling him a god on the fiberglass forums or whatever the hell that job is.

Thanks for sticking up for me thomasjamal. Actually the Coupe thats im getting has the RB20DET in it already it has new speakers it has a exhaust it has strut it has a dvd screen its got a extremely large intercooler. LSD. its got new interior(carpenting, not seats). its got new clutch its got new clutch master and slave cylidners. belts have been done. the oil has been changed and has records. its got shift knob its got hte steering wheel its. so i dont really need to much jsut the cosmetic stuff, its got the engine and drive train . the body is still stock tho. no body kits or wing or anytthing. im not a big fan of the coupes tho but it was just such a good deal i had to jump on it. I was planing on getting a hatch and doing the front S15 and throwing hte 180sx lights on the back. and on the coupe the S15 dont look too good and im not really the fan of the S13 conversion looks to box so i thought to myself hey the R32 is almost the same size and the upper of the car basically look the same. And i got hte engine already. might as well go all out

If i could have a sleeper 240sx with a crazy setup under the hood, i could care less about looking like a skyline. Yes it is possible, apparently there is a kit.

But personally, i would just move overseas if I wanted one that bad... R32's are common over there and they sell for nothing (usually less than 7000 USD), US Dolla' goes a long way over there
That's a stupid question.Why would anyone want a car that looks like a Skyline, just because it looks sexy, it's intimidating, it'd get all the ladys. But oh no, it's not a skyline. You're a ricer!

And the other comment is pure stupid.Why the hell move to Japan where you don't know their traditions, their language, don't know about the job market or anything, just to own a car.

Choo choo, clue train. Last stop, you.

Who called McKinney and complained about what??

You should probably go back and learn the definition of Rice before you call someone or something that.Rice is car apparel. Not performance. If anyone calls a performance car Rice no matter the looks, I'd kick them in the back of the knee.

You have a trust fund / spend your life savings / sell your house.

There is no simple "Do this, do that" anwser, nor is there a write up for it.You buy R32 parts, you take off your S13 parts, see how the line up / fit (or don't, in this case) and make them fit and look good.Cutting, welding, smashing, cursing and ****ing up your car will all be involved. Goodluck.

HAHAHA!!!!!!!!! Nothing is more ricer than a sleeper? Do, in some way, try to explain that without sticking your head up your rear. FYI, rattlecan isn't sleeper. Its freaking ugly as hell. Almost as ugly as an R32 conversion. Meh, if you think the black conversion looks pretty good whatever. I think it looks like crap, nevermind that getting one right and secure ain't gonna happen with a kit. Gonna have to fab some stuff and do it just right (which likely means trial and error up the wing wong)

Still, I dare you to find any definition of the word rice that would fit a sleeper. Every established definition of the word rice (besides the food) refers to useless crap mods to make a car seem like something its not. Just a protip, when you make BS statements with no backing like that, you look like a fool. Also, you really don't help yourself when you talk about rattlecanning (also not rice), use words like "hater" (a classic word ricers use to justify themselves to people who talk them down), and talk about "suprising V6 mustangs." Who the hell gives 2 ****s about mustangs? I sure as hell don't. If you're trying to call people ricers like that you got it wrong. Everyone knows they're after neons

Ouch my eyes. the shift key is right there, please use it. You can capitalize R32 and S13, and get at the symbols to bypass the censor, but you can't type 'I' or begin a sentence with a cap? Never mind that "and" and "but" don't really begin a sentence.

Well Alfador, what's so wrong about an R32 conversion. You're looking for Silvia conversion parts.
