So I'm a student of autobody and I also work 2 jobs in autobody but I still have no idea if I would be able to convert the front end of a Skyline R32 to an R33-R34 and if so should I just get the stock fenders,bumper,etc. or get the aftermarket parts lets see what you all think.

If it would be a better fit since that alot of them you have to adjust them to fit so I would have an easier time...

in my honest opinion i love the r32 look....the r34 is nice....but i would't convert it..

if you really like the r33 then wait one more year and it will be legal in canada (15 year rule)

r33 will be legal in 2007

and r34 to get it into canada he would have to declare the car as a kit car

Well mostly I would get an R33 (thanks for the info) but frankly I'm not realy able to aford it...i just got an e-mail back saying that I wouldnt be able to get the GTR R32 because its out of the price range for my situation. So my next best bet is to try and get a hold of the other person who was selling there GTS4 for $9,500 and I gues I can go with that my main thing is that I wanted just that R33 Front end look and keep the rest. Well thanks but I gues I still have to find out if I can just get the stock parts and change them a bit to fit my aplication.

There is, there is I was actualy thinking of getting a Eclipse GSX because I can get a wicked discount because I fix them up ALOT well...not the GSX...but I like the style mostly and that its all wheel drive...if I could find another car that has that same style and is all wheel drive and is also cheaper...I'm all for it

thanks

ST185 or GT all-trac, 90 to 93 had 200bhp... nowadays a good one will cost about 5k

this is what it looks bone stock (well except for that antenna)

Nortad should be posting anytime now

Big-Willy · 12 Nov 2006, 03:43 pm

Nice...though thats not realy the same style as I wanted...i gues you thought I meant that I like the style of the Eclipse...i Like more the style of the Skyline but you know...that sounds prity nice I just don't realy like that body line I'm just going to get a hold of this guy who has the same car that I wanted before just a GTS4 and its all black goinna phone him monday and see how I can work it out with him...since I need to either pay HIM monthly or try and get someone to get a loan for me untill next year

Big-Willy · 12 Nov 2006, 03:52 pm

I found a couple in my area but there all fwd only one was awd and I need to contact the seller for the price...it sounds like a solid car but I dont know if its the style for me i dunno I have to like the car also...like I want a good cool car to drive and while I drive that and have it as a side project car I'm going to be fixing up a 69 stang paint it detail and clean out the engine compartment and make it nice and original and get it to an auction and make some dough from it and keep doing that on the side

/NDA · 12 Nov 2006, 03:56 pm

look buddy, no offence but you don't know what that car is do ya?

ever heard of a guy named Carlos Sainz?

fuk i hate that skyline hype sh!t, don't get me wrong it's very good but it also ain't all that

Anyway, the ATTESA-ETS is very heavy, something you really don't want in winter...

Big-Willy · 12 Nov 2006, 04:01 pm

Well thanks alot about all the help but do you still know anything that has the same look as the skyline but is awd...I'd try and find out if there was something awd that wasnt heavy but I gues that celica would be my best bet

/NDA · 12 Nov 2006, 04:12 pm

the 2 doors impreza maybe

and good luck finding a good one under 10k
