As we all know that never really happened but what if it did what would it look like, well i my newest quest i am going to andswer that question by taking my 1991 240sx hatchback and turning it into a R32... how you ask..... Well basically 4 conversions that will be done all at once, a RHD conversion, a RB20det swap and then a Front body conversion( i.e. fenders, hood, front bumper and headlights....)and then a complete rear end and complete suspension swap..... and it will all be done by the end of January... the only thing you will be able to to tell it was a 240 would be the hatch and the taillights( for now later on i am going to do the 180 tail converson) and i almost forgot wide body rear fenders... so it should be pretty interesting to say the least....


Please give me your thoughts on this project..... i will be posting lots of pictures over the next 2 months, once all the parts come in.....

 

I've seen a R32 front end on a hatch, and the tails, seen the RB20 in a hatch and a RHD just never all at once, have seen it all on a coupe minus the engine

 

oh i have seen it all before too just not all on the same car.... i just thought it would be an interestiong project to do...

 

lol damn good luck with that

 

hats off to you if you pull it off clean. i'm going to school for auto bosy technology and hope to be able to do custom stuff like that.

keep us updated

 

 

i will definatly keep you posted.....

smirb86....how hard was it to put those panels and bumper on?

 

gs sorry but this aint my car, i talked to the owner and he said that it was very easy, just like if you were putting on the stock body parts.

 

Considering it was all the same frame, and just different body panels, it will be a very easy swap for the front.

there are a few cars out there that will do a direct front end replacement using the headlights, left and right front quarter panel, front bumper (grill if it isn't integrated with the bumper) and the hood.

I know some of the nissans do it, VW golf/gti/cabrio and Jetta are directly interchangeable, and some hondas swap easily too.

this should be a nice project, all a matter of taking your time on it and lots of money. limited custom fabrication as well.

Will you be making it the AWD? or RWD only?

 

only RWD... its basically going to be a R32 Gts-T with a back half of a 240 on it...

 

cool, any pics of the starting car? you have lots to disassemble and tear out. step by step pics would be really benificial.

 

sure i will take some tonite and post them tonite...

 

that's definaetly been done before... with a coupe you can make it almost identical to a r32... should have searched

 

i have seen it done with a coupe.....BUT remember i dont have a coupe i ahve a hatch and i have never seen it done on a hatch... now i am not saying it hasnt been done because i can garentee u that it has but that dosnt take any of the ejoyment out of it for me....and trust me i have done plenty of research on this project.....

 

good luck with that project sounds good hope it turns out for you!
