I have read that the r32 skyline headlights will fit the 95-96 240 with little modification to the mounts. I dont think this is true. Has anybody ever heard this or saw this done. I know this is true for the r33 headlights but never heard of it for the r32.

Wow. I have NEVER seen ANY skyline headlights stuck in a 95 or 96 s14 with little modification. Please show me the light with the R33 headlights.

I saw the r-33 headlights on a s14 on VIS racing sports website about 2 years ago. Dont know if its still on there. I e-mailed them about it and they said they fit right in with little modification to the brackets. Looked killer but I dont know what they consider "little" modification also. I used to have my dealers license (car parts) and at the time I believe it was OBX-R (if my memory serves me right im about 99% sure it was) had started making a one piece black housing projector headlights for the 95-96 S14 but when I would try to call about them i always got this japanese lady that i could not understand so i never did find anything out on them.

ok...first of all. the R33 headlights will not work on S14 without HUGE modifcations to the entire front end. i bought a pair a while back wondering the same thing and this is what i found.

the R33 headlights are about the same height as the S14 headlights. but the depth is almost 2-3" difference. then the R33 wrap around more than the S14. only way i could see the working was if you cut all the metal behind where the S14 headlights sit. then modify the hood and fenders for the headlights.

if you do this...have more than 3K in hand...better to get the Euro headlights or the S15 front end.

the R32 lights i have heard work. i have seen pictures...they kinda work like the 97-98 S14 lights...but then again i have not had these in my hands to say for sure or nay.

Too bad, that is a Skyline, not a 240.

Venus has a champagne colored s14 with a r32 front end on it. So that'll work with probably minimal modifications. Dunno bout the r33 though...
