hello i'm new here so dont' hate. but i just want to ask if there is a possibility of a 240 converted to r34? i was thinking of purchasing a 1995 240sx. a buddy of mine can get me a r34 kit for about $900 beans, fenders (r34) for $400,tail light and front lights (r34 jdm) for around $900, and a carbon fiber hood (r34) for around like 7$00. now the questions. is the fenders going to fit perfectly on the 240 sx? and if it does would the carbon fiber hood fit as well with the lights? and as for the back lights would i need to buy a r34 back bumper or could i just use the body kit that i'm getting for it be fine? need help A.S.A.P.

you're gonna need a hell of a lot of modification to the 240 to get things to fit.. you're gonna have to make new brackets for the fenders, headlights, taillights, bumpers.. the hood probably won't fit very well at all without major modification because the windshields are different.. for the back bumper, you could probably find a way to get the one you bought on but the actual r34 bumper would be easier.
this sounds like quite the project.. i'm just warning you though, if you're paying someone to do it, you're gonna spend close to $7000.. it will take a VERY long time to get this done.. if you're doing it yourself then give'r, won't be that expensive..
and what are your plans for the engine?? it'd be pretty funny having a r34 converted 240 with no balls..

Bomex just came out with an R34 conversion kit thats pretty fair enough... However the OEM R34 Body work will be way too big to fit on an S14 without an obscene amount of modification.



Bomex is fairly cheap too so Id Expect around 4000$ after everything.

r33 tail lights are my fav. Dont know why, but god damn r33 are my favorite skylines. I would just buy the kit, and bomex is a reliable company so it should somewhat fit good. Iv done a few bomex kits, not the greatest but there a hell of a lot better than cheap ass ones.

That r33 on ebay needs some WAY wider rims, looks funny. I would recomend you go for the project if you have money and drop in RB with it to make it more complete.
And about skylines, R32 rules all.

Yeah, R32 is the best.

this is kinda poserish converting your whole 240 over to a skyline so all the kids who wathed 2F2F can think your awesome. And that R33 on ebay looks like shit, at least the tails do...

R34 Headlights are my fav Heads(theyre so damn agressive looking)
G35 Taillights are my Fav tails
...Ha...S14 - R34....Take pride in the S14...i think S15 heads on a S14 with stock Tails is damn awesome...

thanks for your replies.. but now that you mentioned it's gonna be a hassle for body work.. forget about the body, i think i'm gonna go with the motor. jdm rb26dett 6 spd. if i put the motor in will i have awd? or just rwd? and would i have to buy mounts for the motor as well? i'm still new at this swapping stuff... once again thanx!

would you have AWD? swapping an engine doesnt just swap your engine and driveline layout...do you know how a car works?

ok...the RB26DETT is very rare and wil most likely never be AWD on a 240. It would Be only RWD and it would require much more custom fab then the RB25DET I suggest you swap in the RB25DET from the Skyline.

If you know you are such a noob, why didn't you do some research before you started talking about your plans? And yeah, you won't have AWD, you will need the RB25 tranny and it'll be RWD, also, you will need custom downpipe/mounts/driveshaft.

Read my last post (#14) and also, you can make it AWD by swapping the whole Skyline drivetrain, which will cost you a shit load unless you do it yourself, which obviously isn't going to happen.

even then the electronics and technology of the skyline awd is beyond my belief. its ridiculous. has something to do with only being awd when it needs to be. when you have full traction, its rwd and when one tire slips its awd... crazy shit.. but anyways, awd on a 240 is something i've heard of people wanting to do but i've never seen one (even in pictures) as awd. if you want awd get an evo VIII or WRX.

if your such a noob, then your probably just another 10 year old sitting behind a computer waisting our time with your dreams. If you think that your going to be able to swap a RB26, you would have enough knowledge for us to be asking you questions...and read the damn RB FAQ...

i know that kid in the R33 converted 240. he goes to my school. i see it parked on College Ave. once in a while. it's hella gay. the body doesn't look as clean as it looks in the pics. The merging (or welding) of the body panels are horrible and the paint is not smooth. I guess one could call it... "rice". i mean come on it's auto.

as for the 4wd 240... i've seen a group make an "attempt" at it... but it will be extremely difficult to complete. the body chassis of the 240 itself is probably a tad too small to comply with skyline compenents.

Ok, you just made yourself look even worse. Not only do you type like a 13 year old wannabe rapper, but you also have a "dream" of owning a R34, so your going to ruin a 240? Dream of owning a R34?, how many times a day do you watch 2F2F?? And the post above mine makes you look also worse..sorry but unless you have an unlimited amount of cash, i doubt there is anyway your going to be able to drive an AWD 240. move to japan if you are so serious about this dream...

yeah, you might as well buy a skyline if you want to spend the money on trying to make a 240 awd.. its not worth it. get the 240 first if you don't have one, get used to it and get to know it. if you already have one, you need to do more reading. learn what engines are realistic for the 240. i'll start you off with these: CA18DET, SR20DET, RB20DET, RB25DET, RB26DETT

read the FAQ and the RB FAQ to learn more about the more powerful engines. its not always easy coming on here not knowing shit all, i know. i was once somewhat as bad as you

ummmm this is outta hand. By a 240 and do an sr20. You will never get a skyline and making a 240 into a skyline is the gay. We all have dreams of skylines..... but we manage with a 240. It's like making a fiero into a lambo with the lambo fiero kit. May look the same but its still not. So either way you wouldnt have a skyline, it wouldn't look the same even if you did convert it. More research, cuz your plans are the plans only bill gates could afford. You need to get more reasonable with your cash. An rb25 is a way more reasonable swap which will still costs you ATLEAST 5 grand. I mean why do you want the rb26? Cuz its super cool jdm twin turbo as opposed to a single??? Everyone converts to a massive single turbo anyway. I dont know man this isnt gt4 where you can just go earn money and spend hella cash on your ride and everything goes well. If you want to mod a car that much be prepaired for shit to go wrong. If you dont have the money now, you wont have the money ot maintain it either.
