heyit just hit me... how sexy would and s15 front + s14 rear on an s13 convertible be? s15 fronts are pretty common, but i was wondering how hard it would be to convert the rear. im graduating in a year, and i might sell my s14 to do this if it isnt too hard.

i search, dont flame :icesangel

It's sounds like an interesting prospect to me.

I've seen a 180SX with kouki S14 tails and headlights.

any other bastardization would look like poo. (like s15 front and s14 rear). And I have also seen an S14 with S15 tails and S13 front. It was cool and all, but the body lines are so much different, it must have cost a fortune.

this JUST hit you? well, it hit Nissan.jp 6 years ago to kidnap an s14 chasis and bang it up until it resembled the rear end of a pontiac grand-am.

Hey I was just thinking about it... but what about G35 coupe tail lights on the S14? I don't know how it would look, but I was just thinking about it because it's something no one has done yet, and because the bottom of the G35 tail lights seem flat-ish so doesn't look TOO hard to fabricate. I mean people have done the R32 and Supras.

The S13 Fastback has rear fenders, so a good body shop could do it, but I pretty much think it won't look good. Your taking an entirely different body style and molding it to another entirely different body style.

Anyhow I will do a crap quick Photoshop on the Enjuku S13.5, I too want to see how it will look.

EDIT: Err I can't find any decent pics of any S13.5's can anyone give me a direct side profile shot and a back shot?

oops... havent been online in a while so i havent been keeping up with all this.

but basically, the reason why i am asking is because i wanted a convertible with an s15 front, and the s13 rear doesnt look that great (well i dont like it). plus, i want a ca18 in it, so im not going to import one of those s15 varrietta convertibles (in case that is what you were going to suggest =D).

anyways, im sure that i could just take it to a good body shop and they could weld quarter panels and whatever else they do.
