View Full Version : r 32 conversion

01-10-2005, 06:01 PM
I have recently been wondering if it is possible to do a R32 full conversion to a 91 240sx coupe. I've only seen one with the tail lights and it looks good. but i havent seen any with the head lights.

Their bodies look alike but the r32 has a wider rear fender. I have an obsession with skylines :jerkit: I want at least to drive around in a "fake" skyline. :2f2f:

So is this possible or have you guys seen any

just rebadge your car with GTR emblems :rl: :hammer:

Anyway, search and ye shall find. The headlight conversion was being developed by some company (i forgot which one) but I haven't heard anything about it recently...nor do i care. Someone posted some pics on here and Freshalloy. Good Luck

this thread has to be a joke because only a completely retarded brain dead moron would ask such a run into the ground question as this and you clearly aren't so stupid as to assume that this is in any way feasible.

People have done it, its not hard, R32 front bolts right up.

01-11-2005, 01:41 AM
someone on 240sxforums did it. He bolted everything on and got huge gaps because it was done mickey moused.
Best way to do it is making custom fenders and hood.

The supra headlights and skyline tails are bad enough, but the fact that a person would put Toyota and Skyline badges on the same car is just retarded. The sad thing is, all that body work prolly cost him a pretty penny.

CONVERTIONS ARE LAME!!. The car is confused lol.
Look at the red s13 above. headlight is about to fall off. And how come he didn't take a direct side pictures? Maybe he's scared to show everyone the huge gaps. Sky40SX =X
nistech, that's what happen when owners like the look of a skyline and a supra but own a Accord. :duh:

the supra/accord/skyline makes me want to jam a spoon into my testicle.

the s13 coupe... looks like someone got a front clip and got bored with the leftover parts.

the red fastback doesnt look so bad. anything can look clean if you put the time and money into it. still, conversions are really pointless. if u want a skyline, import a real skyline.

i actually just saw a r32 tail light swap on an s13 it was very clean. i know the guy who can do it your looking at about 1800 for the labor alone plus cost of material which is basically just the tail lights....but ya it's possibel to do and not that hard...but not something for just anyone to do

Import a R32 shell. Then Import a RB26, transmission and drivetrain. Import R32 body parts.




Then put your R32 together and be 10x cooler than ricing out a 240sx.

those pics show its stilll a RHD car and I was down there just the other week and saw just 3 LHD cars. 2 s13s and then conrads D1 car. Since you want to rice out something, gimme your chassis because I want a spare one, then go wipe up my piss from me in shock of you asking such a lame duck fawking question.

Lol wow dude.. you make it sound so easy man! That's basically saying "yeah let's go buy a full R32.. but taking it apart.. then putting it back together!" The money that will be spent will not be worth the money, and it'll be such a hassle. I don't understand why you call it "ricing out a 240sx". Many people want do to their thing. Sure, it's not 'Real' but let's be realistic, I don't think everyone can own one. His car is pretty damn clean, and for a second, it will fool you until you look at the small imperfections. I still think it's ignorant for you to say it's "ricing" a 240sx. So do you think all S15 conversion's are rice too? It's not real man. I'm sure many will agree, no matter what, it still looks good, as long as it's done correctly.

ah i c. Yeah i'll hit you up on aim, cuz i still dont believe it. I'm such a skeptic hahaha. If it really is a conversion, thats one badass job. And + 50 million for using a gtr hood and grill. If anybody is seriously considering doing that conversion, PLEASE use the gtr hood and grill. The gts-t hood with the part that slopes in the middle instead of an actual grill looks like complete ass. Oh yeah, i'm not Jimmy. haha, Jimmy owns the shop. I'm Jay and i just work there. :bow:

06-10-2005, 01:41 PM
Oh, well if you'd like, I'll send you some pictures. Yes, it was a bad ass job. The hood alone cost around $1000 I believe (which is the price of the 'r32 conversion front' for many 'kits' available). Jimmy sold my friend a car a few months back, and it was shit. We test drove it for about half an hour, but on the way home, it just fucked over.

I know people that have done it and a friend is doing it now. It basicly becomes a "Kit Car" and is legal in the US and is not subject to emissions and safety like Hot Rods. It can be done for less than $20k. More than likely cheaper than making R32 parts fit on a 240sx.

Oh, well I apologize then. It sounds out of the picture for many of us, and I don't believe that it will be that cheap. But if you say so, than I guess somewhere, and somehow, it's possible. I've just never seen it.

Hey guys, check out the new signature..

more like "Hey guys, check out my deleted/resized new signature"

Since nobody seems to read the rules anymore, let me make this plain and simple. :wtf:

The maximum size limit for a picture in your signature is 400x200. This means it can be no larger longer than 400 pixels and no taller than 200 pixels. No exceptions. No bitching. :rant2:

Sure, we all don't like ricers with chrome rims, big wings, and euro tail lights, but to them, they're keeping it real. Everything is not as easy as you think it is, like 'getting an R32 Skyline GTR' over here which is labeled as a 'kit car'. Even before, you were fooled, and said

thats becuz its a real R32

im not actually hating. i dont see the point of converting a s13 cuope to look fully like an R32, yes i may have been fooled because i only glanced at it for 3 seconds.

and yes you can get R32s here legal. the only cars that arent legal due to needing reinspection are R33 and espcially the R34. i have not seen a recalled R32 yet but have seen plenty of R33 and R34s. they are being pulled back due to shady and cut corners of Motorex.

your friend paid watever to have a s13 coupe look like a r32. probably still a KA or SR, if anything RB25.

id just pay the extra doe to actually buy a used R32, have the RB26 and AWD and the interior of a R32 rather S13 coupe. and above all that, i can actually say my car is a GTR

Wow dude, I bet you're one of the people that say this, but will end up putting an S15 front on an S13 or S14. Contradiction? I think so. I'm sure that you've seen very clean conversions of them, and thought they were pretty bad ass. The thing here is that, it's never been done, not many are willing to go through the hassle/money of doing it. Sure, it's not a real skyline, and no, it's not running a crazy crazy motor (yet). It's still dope as hell, and it catches everyone's eye everywhere we go. (I'd know, I'm always following him around when he goes places.)
I could actually care less if you can get an R32 GTR over here, for about the same price, because think how much more you'll have to go through to get it over, and done. It's not my money, nor it's not my car. The only thing was that some guy, posted my best friend's car up there, so I tend to butt in. It's clean, it's different, yet not too crazy. I like it, and I know what hard work was put into it. Enough said.. I'm pretty tired of 'arguing'.

Sure, you do make some good points indeed. I wouldn't say it's "poser" though and what, are you saying it's ricer? If you are, I think you should get rid of your Silvia front end conv, sell your car, and opt for a 'real' silvia.
It looks good, it's pretty damn clean, and it's different. I think that you'd say that now, but if you saw it in person, you'd still give him props for doing it. About the 'r34 bodied integra that was in all the ricer mags back in the day'.. I'm sure that at the time, you thought it was hot. Shit, I can remember, I thought it was pretty bad. For anyone that's actually seen it, only about 10% catch it at first that it's a conversion.. the other's are just told that it is later on.
I do respect the fact that you have your own opinion on it.. but.. I don't think it's all that great that you're ripping away at it.. because oh, it's "not real". Your car isn't a "real" Silvia, so what's the point?

Oh yeah, here's a pic, so you can hate some more...
