Looks great. What did you have to do to get that to fit? How long did that take you? I might have to get an R33 front end and put it on my s14 now.

so can you get the r33 front end with the RB25DET or do they also come with the RB26DETT cause that would be getting everything done in one blow hehe maybe it would make it easier? for the rb26 i mean just weld on the new front it shouldnt take you any longer then it to you to do her car right? seems like it would be easier that way

well i tihnk mostly you will have to get the tail lights and then cut the area that they need to be put into and then fiberglass in around them cause im pretty sure the skyline tails are bigger then the 240sx.........you know what would be really cool is if you could get the projection headlights from an r34 and put them on their you know?

did you actually chop the front end then weld on the skyline front end or is it just the body pannels?

I would say it was just a matter of installing the body panels, seeing as how he said it only took an hour...

Could you take a pic from the back towards the door... i was wondering how it looks from there... is it flush? Pretty neat... i'm still going with a Silvia front end... but that's cool that you can do that.

NightXCZ77 wrote:$1000 for the R33 front end conversion. This includes hood, fenders, bumper, headlights with harnesses, grill, and turn signal lights. If you're interested, shoot me an email and I'll send you pics of it. It's really nice.

So it's just a matter of bolting it on? No fabrication needed? Seems too good to be true...

Oh and what kinda shape is it in? any damage?

looks sweet man! I always thought of doing a r33 conversion on my car, the 2 fronts look very similiar. Is that an s14? Looks like it, but kinda hard to tell. And where is the grill? Very sweet job, I think a wide body rear end is in order here!!

Skyline rear tail lights is every Ricers dream (not saying that you are one, but you get my drift).

:D

:D


Rice is when a modification has been made with bad taste. You can have a fully modified exterior and not be rice as long as it compies with certain conditions:

a)proportional to your car(i.e. aluminum wings, rims)

b)if you spend the money and the time to do it right

c)make it look flush. be sure that it flows with the lines of the car.

d)dont be tacky. If you want to stand out, do it in a good way. Make your car look good and not like a marketing experiment.

looks good for now night, I like the fact that its original also. As S14=pimpin' said, you should get a wide body kit to complete the effect on the rear.
