When you said "Ew", I was thinking what is so "Ew" about it as well, but with the statement like you said above, I can understand the correlation of your dissapointment. Like s15 frontends on s14s as well. By the pics the R34 frontend on the R32 model trim does indeed look Ok but I am also not a fan of conversions in this nature as well, sometime fitment and lines just don't match well. I can understand upgrading for instance older body styles of the same chasis and model, ie late model NSX headlights, front fascia on old style NA1 NSX. Well to each it's own.
exactly. or even if they follow very similar lines. a CD accord with some CG headlights come to mind. (i didnt even notice until the owner pointed them out to me) but jumping from an 89 R32 to a ~99 R34 is quite a jump for how major the design changes are on the R chassis (the NSX example is an exception to the rule, like you mentioned as the body was pretty much unchanged) idk, maybe i'm just really picky about my cars and any appearance modifications. i like to stay true to the time (flares and simple wheels on old cars, etc) anyway. it all comes down to the owner. if you like it, go for it. it is your car, your money, and you have to live with the car on a day to day basis. so what the hell does it matter to me what you decide to do with your car. i will shut up now :hithead:
i think you guys are kinda missing it. the only "nissan" part on there is the headlights. the bumper/fenders/hood are custom to fit the r32, jsut made a tad bit narrower. im almost positive the r34 stuff wont bolt to the r32 because the cars themselves have a 2-3 inch diff in width. just watch the option dvds of this car in action during the 08 drift season, especially fuji. you see if some around from the fornt and then it swings around an you see the smaller, less offensive r32 rear end and it just looks so bad ass. we all know this is not the same as an ek front on an ef....i would say its more like an EL front on an EK...... its different, but it fits and it looks good.
to each his own. i dont think its to bad at all. i love the way the R32s look (the N1s are my fav) so i would never do this front conv. however i would rather see it on an R32 skyline then on a civic or integra.
Its more like a Escalade front end on Silverado:attention: :roflmao: Even though the bumper/fenders/hood aren't OEM doesn't mean its still not meant to look exactly like a r34. I like the way the r32 front ends look to be honest. defiantly do what you think looks best on the car you have to drive.
Engine = Front End. Nissans Do It /Hondas Dont Attempt. I have Seen Several Nissans with Front End Conversions Done w/ the Same Engine Inside... Example; S13 with a S15 Engine and S15 Front End Conversion Also. You Seen This Before Its Nothing New To Anyone Here No Need For Me to Post Pics thats Clickable... :spitdrink: The Same w/ the R32 with the GawdZirra RB30DETT Kit. w/ R34 Front End. FN-Sick :leghump: Show More Pics of Your New Shoes... oke:
i might do a little photoshoot soon out by the castle ruins but its pouring rain today, so i guess its housekeeping day.
