If you have to ask, you aren't ready for such a complicated conversion.

Period.

It will be a difficult conversion, and you will have to do alot of custom work. It would probably be best to get the whole front clip out of an R33, that way you will have all the parts you need, especially if you want to swap the motor in also. If you have a big budget, and alot of time, go for it. In my opinion though, the couple R33 conversions that I have seen have turned out crappy.

The R33 front isn't that nice looking compared to R32 and R34, in my opinion anyway.Your car will have a wide front and you'll need a wide rear to match with it or it'll look like a cat-fish.

It's like adding 25 mm fenders, it shouldn't look that bad

I manage a custom shop, and we are doing this conversion right now. It is not a simple one. The fenders do not meet up to the doors, A pillars, or the rockers. The way we are doing it is cutting off the back end of the s14 fenders and welding them onto the r33 fenders, so all those areas will meet up. Also the core support has to be extended out farther cause the fenders are longer. So this is not something you wanna do unless you can do a lot of body work yourself, or you wanna spend a pretty penny.
