yeah its an S14 conversion done in japan of all places... its done by a company that specialises in LA Style tuning, which is... surprise surprise, a style gaining popularity in japan, imitating the americans.

See the yanks only get S14's and S13's as 240sx's and to own a Skyline is a very very expensive hobby, so they convert the front and back to look like a R34. In Japan and Australia its a bit stupid really considering you can buy an R34 GTt for much cheaper than an S14 with that abomination of a kit.

but the s14 is a totally diffrent style to the skylines i believe.

skylines are a tough look and s14s are sexy on wheels like u always hear.

combination of toughness and sexiness...... in my opinion anyway.

god dats a fine car.

agreed skylines are tough and silvias are sleek. Combine them though and you get "arse", especially if you see it from the back, there's heaps more photos of that car floating around. It looks so fake.

Love the front, hate the rear. What would be awesome would be to get the 180sx (so it's a hatchback), get the R34 front on it with the S15 rear conversion. Now THAT would cause some confusion!!!

EDIT: I've been thinking about that ^^^^ for about 5 minutes now, and I have decided I have to do it!!!! I HAVE to do it!!!! No choice!!!! R34/S13/S15 hybrid would be boss!!!

EDIT#2: Get those brakes too, making it an R34, S13, S15, 996 hybrid!!!

That car looks so sexy from the back...R34 lights with the low down back of the S15 *droooools. It was in a recent car mag, I saw it a few weeks ago.

The black part of the bonnet, IS the bonnet. It looks rather cool when open B)

EDIT: Sorry, I have a slow loading connection, I am just getting the pics through :P

I have that issue of HPI, I kind of liked it and kind of hated it also. I think the areas that I liked about it were due to the R34 looking bits (like the front and rear) where as from the side I thought it looked like baby poo. I reckon if they simplified the sides a little it would've looked better.

    • Put a fuel pressure gauge on it. Replace the turbos. Probably completely separate issues.
    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
