Conversion has been done many times, simple search in Google would have told you that.

Here are some pictures.





Not really my cup of tea but do as you wish.

for 200 bucks, i needed a new front bumper so its cheaper rite off the bat, and the conversion came with a fiberglass hood which is a hell of allot lighter then the factory s13 hood. i think it looks sick

i told myself i would never buy a carbon fiber hood until it was the absolute last thing i could do to my car.... i blame craigslist for putting a $45 good as f***ing new CF hood into my hands, now. i wanna see what this looks like when you are done... and arent you running an RB anyways? (not saying its ok, but its closer to a skyline than ill ever have)

No if you look at the B pillar it is straight, go look at a GTR and it is curved.

Yeah, its an S13, quarter panel window narrows a lot at the top. Also a real R32 has a bulge in the rear quarter panel.

i think that black one is pretty sexy. Just my opinion though . Anyways if you do a good job matching it up, it could turn out good! Good luck

You have to sign in to look at it, and I don't care how much the conversion was, someone couldn't pay me enough to do it.

IMO the R32 on the hatches look dumb, but on the coupe looks awsome. I really want to do it myself.
