R33 Front End Conversion

I've been searching my ass off for some more information on this car. I've been trying to find some more details and some more pictures, but I have yet to find anything. Can any one help me out? Thanks guys.

woah! ive never seen that b4....who the hell wuld do that?! that would cost a bit. I reckn its rice, especially because it has a GTR badge when its not a real GTR, its not even a skyline for gods sake!

I would just about die laughing if you popped the hood and found a stock ass KA24DE with nothing but an intake or something...

hahaha classic!

I dont like the wheels or the rear of the rocker extensions..but that's not a bad looking car.

who the f**K cares what the badging is? Since cars have been out people have swapped badging/removed it. I see at least one Honda, Mits, and FORD with GTR emblems on them daily. There is also a Kia running around with GTR, type R, and a few other badges on it with a guy driving the thing that is probably laughing his as$ off each time someone gets their panties in a bunch over it.

I really like the silvia set of emblems....I'd love to replace the S with a Å symbol though :) I actually may get some aluminum, resin and break out my dremel + the local CNC guys help to make the Å and cut the outer 'shield' shape perfect. Then just fill with black resin and clearcoat it all....slap a piece of 3M double sided tape on the back and call it a day. I will almost definitely do this when I repaint in a couple years so I can fill in the nissan pin holes at that time.

I think that was the car I saw last year at Nopi nats

looks like ASS


i didn't make it to nopi this year, but last year it was a pretty good 240sx turn out. atleast a dozen or more, a couple KA-T's mostly SR20's, there was one nice Sil-80 with 96 type circle tail lights, wangan wing, and a silvia aero bumper....pimpness

the best part of it was the car was no show car, it was a daily driver, had shitty paint, DIY body conversion it looked like..but thats what gives it character. I don't like seeing spotless 240sx showcars.

ummmm am I missing something here, you go to a car show (albeit NOPI no less) and are expecting busted up ghetto rides?

jesus.

nope, but almost

I goto a car show like that for fun and the road trip. Cause it was fun driving an Impala SS up there all night for 500 miles just cruising up I-75...

I would much rather look at that busted up ghetto lookin street driven sil80 then look at some flawless candy color paint job on some civic with a body kit, neons, and some 16" chrome wheels...

thats just me though

Yeah...I think it is just you...well not a civic cause that's nasty shit, but a 240 with a nice plaintjob is better then a rusted out scratched and shitted on 240. If anyone would not take care of their 240 then they shouldn't have one, they don't deserve it. Let your civic rust away, see if I care, but not your 240!!!

so go to a freaking krispy kreme or wherever the local ricers gather....wow Imp SS just wow.

When I go to a car show that I am flying out to see. I DON'T want to see what I can buy myself easily.

wow Impala SS yes wow, its a hell of a lot more car then a 240sx...

maybe u should go drive one with all the bolt ons and drivetrain upgrades.

my dad brought home a supercharged malibu ss. he let me drive it and theat shit was freaking fast. i almost nut. ;) i love american muscle.

by the way my dad works at a chevy dealership as the head of commercial. so hes always bringing home cars that he delivers to customers the next day.

wow Impala SS yes wow, its a hell of a lot more car then a 240sx...

maybe u should go drive one with all the bolt ons and drivetrain upgrades.

Hmmm I have, still nothing special...it's a nice cruising car, but not a 740iL. There are always a few at the test and tune night here sporting their sub 14 sec 1/4 miles....the GS300/400's like to hand them their asses though but I digress.

Hell of a lot more car than a 240sx?!? and you have a handle with SR20DETPOWER? I am 'sure' you are talking the slalom right? autox? top speed potential? braking? short comings?

Oh I forgot you like your 'show' cars with curb rash and dings, a little more closer to home.

I see a blue light flashing in the aisle.

Why are you even here?

ohhhhhhhhh. are you going to take that from him? i think he was trying you.



god im such an instigater.

dude you have obviously never driven an impala SS...

they handle better then a 240sx I think, and their lateral g spec's are the same stock... .88g's


you have either never driven a 240sx or an Impala SS.....

If you have driven a 240sx.. a 240sx is a lil more agile in slow speed manuevers(10mph hard corners on the throttle hard) but the Impala is MUCH more stable at higher speeds.. and it does 155mph like its going 40mph.

If you have never driven an impala ss .......welp then you should know the brakes aren't the best on a 240sx, not the worst I've ever felt before though, the Impala's brakes totally own the 240sx's brakes, especially during high speed stops. you can stand on that thing at 155mph and you will probably shit yourself if your riding bitch and comming up on some cars stopped, cause you will think no way this heavy ass car is going to stop in time, but it does easily.... I will give the impala has bigger and better tires then a 240sx stock for stock, but the 240sx is only 1800 lbs lighter...

if you've taken a 240sx to its limits and an impala ss to its limites, i see no possible way that u think the 240sx is superior... oh and a 740IL is a piece of shit compared to a decent Impala ss.... no possible chance of that car beating it in any category

PS OMG LEXUS GS 300's and 400's ARE FUCKING PIECES OF SHIT! AN IMPALA IS ON ANOTHER LEVEL, IT ACTUALLY HAS SOME SPORTINESS COMPARED TO THOSE OTHER CRUISERS, MAINLY FROM ITS POLICE CAR BACKGROUND.

ohhhhhhhhh. are you going to take that from him? i think he was trying you.

I sure as hell wouldn't take that shit. He is making you look like a mark ass bitch. Do something about it.

him ---> :bananadie <---------me

It looks ok, I just came fron NOPI a few hours ago. Did not see much 240 s, that pissed me off, I went there to look at them and there were a few old once, 1 1998 with a ka24det, and a few personal ok looking once. But on parking lot I saw a few nice once.
The r33 front looks better on skylines (saw a few today), for an s14 I think the shark eyes looks the best (1997-1998)

First off, Don't noooooooobody talk shit about the Impala SS, it is a godess of a car, a work of beauty, and I think the pinacle of chevy engineering (except for the whole spark plugs being under the manifold theme, that shit pissed me off if you didn't read my old post), anyway, the Impala SS is a great car.
And SR, what is the point of going to the car show to see cars with chips on their paint, it wouldn't make sense to pay $25 bucks for that.
And most of the cars that have these supposedly flawless paint and body mods belong to shops and companies, who would go advertising on a car with chipped paint, and cracke taillights? have you ever seen a victoria secret catalog with a 200 pound B**** or Tyra smilling with a cracked tooth? NO, those you find in your everyday runnins, but when you go to modelling shows, those same outfits Naomi campbell has are offered in 3-20 sizes bigger, but you don't see them on the show. Models have to be near perfect, just as show cars, that is why they aren't in the NOPI competition, the competition is for the Street driven cars. I'm not trying to flame you or anything so don't get offended, I'm just giving you everyones point of view.

What was so funny, I saw some guys with cars that I didn't know why they were there, how do you come to nopi and register for the competition to show your car, when some of yor most recent body mods haven't yet been painted, or come with a car with stock wheels and everything, and pop up the hood to show a Turbo setup, and intercooler, but everything else is stock, and dirty, that doesn't make any sense. Saw this guy with a S13 with a Ka-T, no mods except for primed off paint, now I know of the whole sleeper kind of theme, but come on, stock injectors, fuel pump, no mods to ecu, and then you paid 80 bucks to show off your car?????????? I saw cars out in the parking lot that looked better than some that were inside.
Saw this guy with a 626, nice tan like paint, but the body kit was grey, I saw the RB powered 240 and it's front/rear bumper, skirts, and wing were all carbon fiber, that was acceptable. I know ppl have high hopes, but, I wouldn't spend that kind of cash for registration if I have no chance of winning.

Maybe they think that some suit will walk up to them and offer them a million dollar a year for life sponsorship because unpainted body kits on rusted out cars are the new "in" thing...

Lmao ^ :iceslolan :rofl: :iceslolan

dude you have obviously never driven an impala SS...

they handle better then a 240sx I think, and their lateral g spec's are the same stock... .88g's

I like the 'I think' part above...but yes I did drive a SS way before getting my 240SX. However if you are talking 'race' stuff why not just the 9C1 and loose the fluff...that .88g's is not indictative of handling though....just going around a skidpad. Ever compare slalom speeds?

As far as you classifying the SS as better than the 740iL and 240SX I guess you like old people driving/cruising, but hey whatever speed suits you best. I suppose you regularly cruise at 155MPH as well in that SS of yours too, right? Don't let your cigar fall in your lap.

There are no cars that do 155mph like another car does 40mph, may feel smooth and all that but braking and handling at that level are worlds apart. Many of today's cars can handle 140mph plus decently though. The 60-0 braking numbers are almost identical for the two vehicles though....however that extra *only* 1800lbs (I believe should be more like 1200-1400 really) is going to work those brakes alot more at upper speeds than any tires and pads can help.

You seem to know it all though....again though if the Impala SS is such a hands down winner why not be in one. They are about the same price as 240sx's esp considering the 9C1 models of the Caprice. Bring it down to the local autox and challenge all the 240's for titles make sure you challenge the miata's too...you can own every car at the track...... :lol:

Both aren't in the same class, Don't insult the 240, 740 or Impala, Oh, and the impala SS can smoke a 740, that is true, but go try the 750il, that will be a match, the 7 series wasn't made for racing up and down, it was for luxury. like a benz S500, they have a V12 and not all that fast, cuz they weren't for poor folks, they are for the rich.

I meant to mention the 750iL....anyway SHO seems to have the point here....different cars for different folks. This is much like the 300zxtt vs 240sx and now silvia in another thread.

it will cruise at 155mph no problem at all, the brakes on the Impala's are MUCH bigger, they may stop the same 60-0, but that test depends more on weight too, and not so much the overall operation of the brakes. The Impala brakes take 2x the amount of heat and abuse without a sweat. Like I say full stop at 155mph in both cars the impala will destroy a 240sx.

and I've beaten the fuck out of both cars, I know which one I like to drive more thats for damn sure. 240sx's are fun, and I will probably buy a s13 hatch and keep it for some years, right now I run a 87 300zx N/a 5spd....

I love Nissans, and the only Chevy car I like is the Impala SS..... so don't give me a bunch of horseshit about my opinions being presented on a 240sx forum.

oh also 9C1's are fucking garbage. All of their time in operation they get beat on and they all have high mileage.. plus most have a lot of rust since they are always driven in the winter too, unlike an Impala SS might.

sure they are kind of similar(not exactly the same) and in reality they are nothing a like unless you spend a shit load of money fixing that 9c1 up, in the end you should have bought a real Impala if u wanted a nice car.

I would much rather look at that busted up ghetto lookin street driven sil80 then look at some flawless candy color paint job on some civic with a body kit, neons, and some 16" chrome wheels...

thats just me though

In my opinion, cars that look like they have had the shit kicked out of them look better than glossy trailer queens.*

*only applies to cars that have the heuvos to back it up

don't forget some nice rubber flung on the fender behind the rear wheels from a nice tire roasting

anyone notice the lisence plate also says R33 this kid is set on thinking he has a r33 i personally think whoever did this has a lot of money and is taking rice to the extreme

I've seen the car in real life, thats exactly what it is

its a fucking piece of shit and it looks like garbage in real life

its obvious SR20DETPower... and when i say obvious i really mean OBVIOUS that hes talking about a clean ride and not a completly riced out car... just stop and think about all the possibilities before we turn this into a war... come on guyz....... and ive driven a gs400 platinum series they are awsome and also s500's r the pimpest... but obviously imp SS is just classic thats why i love them. we all love the 240 thats why we post here... lets not take this any further because i hate having to see Suislide come in and break up a thread because he doesnt even get time to enjoy a good thread as it is having to baby everyone so think of him :D

ohhhh yeah and the guy who made this thread is banned so lets let him and the thread R.I.Pieces

Suilside I really apologize for this post, but I'm sick of this shit, all y'all just like talking shit about other ppls cars, where are yours, I've heard so many folks say, "oh it's so stupid/lame to put a Skyline front on your car, might as well go buy one", why don't y'all go buy one and leave him to do whatever the f*** he wants to do with his car, secondly, why the f*** do you swap RBs and SR into your 240s then (if infact you have one), why don't y'all go buy one then. The car is lame to you, it ain't yours. You go swap S15 lights onto your 240 but come down on anyone who goes GT-r style, yet, most of you drool over a f***ing RB swap.
Why not shut the f*** up and quit talking trash about other ppls cars, when will you ever get around to do your conversion or swap? And 1/2 the fools talking all this smack don't even own a freaking 240!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I've encountered fools like y'all as long as I've been driving, and it is always the broke MOTHERF****ers who can't afford shit, busy always telling folks what to do with their cars or talking shit of other ppls cars. First finish your ride, then open your freaking mouth, if the only f**king mod you have on your car are sawed off springs, a trash can exhaust and some shinny intake pipe, donuts with no hub to imitate a freaking sleeper. SHUT THE F*** UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh lets not forget the oversized wing.
Why in the hell do you have to coment about other ppls cars, I just don't get it, he had enough cash to do his conversion, so more Kudos to him, it looks tight, and if you think it looks like trash, prove it, show us your car......................................if not, SHUT UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i dont have a car and i hope to own one soon. i dont care what people do with their cars either. and what people say they have a right to dont they? but trash talking is trash talking and like SUISLIDE always says keep it in the PM's and off the boards. . . why cant we all just get along? this thread has been taken too far its just obvious its going to be locked... everyone who wants to be a shit talker HURRY HURRY get your last words in..... at the end of the day all the shit you guyz talk dont matter... its just gonna be you your car and your family.......

I personally think the 240 with r33 front end looks nice. but a 240 is a 240 and an r33 is an r33. and its for show im so sure of it because i havnt seen any ricers with enough money to pull that kind of shit off

Im sorry for "post whoring" but i meant to say ricers cant pull that shit off for daily use... and i dont have problems with people who rice their cars out because it makes no diff.. all i know is rice burners r slow :-p and everytime i hear rice for some reason a civic just pops into my head lol

badman...you know there IS an edit button right? so you can add after-thoughts to a post instead of making three posts in a row?

please do that in the future.


i think this thread has run it's course.
