The fact that you believe that OEM and nismo is godsent. It goes along the same lines like those Honda boys that think Mugen and spoon is god. Loving nismo stuff is the nissan version of the same thing. I mean why would I want to build a Nismo 240SX when I could build an ARC one, Tomei, JIC, Kei Officeetc. Stuff that surpasses Nismo parts by far.

duh.. the skyline is wider and longer but even if there was cutting and filling it would be fine.. oh.. btw.. why fiberglass carbon is just as easy to work with and is much stronger

The point of a mass produced conversion kit is to lower the cost of the conversion to the end user. If you make the 'kit' using oem fenders that have to be custom modified its not a very good kit is it because you need 2 sets of fenders (skyline and 240sx) and all the labour to weld / blend the two together.

If you customise it once, get everything perfect then make a fibreglass mould of it you can churn out near perfect replicas of the customised fender. The end cost is reduced but the producer can still turn a healthy profit.
Got it???

Also carbon fibre is a lot more expensive than fibreglass and harder to tweak it to fit to cars of questionable straightness. Fibreglass can be filled and resanded or reglassed to make it fit perfectly.

Oh and Phil... champion mate! Its good to see someone come up with an idea, do the research and come out with a nice finished result. Post some more pics when you are complete.

Making your car look like a car its not is not cool. Unless your going to go all out and get the engine etc. But then why not just buy one? Its almost as bad as Civics with Integra front end body kits. Shit its almost as bad as integra's with S-15 front ends and the same slow FWD crap. You gotta be kidding me, mideaswell start buying your Type-R stickers now.

You are a moron Rane. I bet you are from but fuck state like Nebraka that doesn't know any better.

Looking like an S15 doesn't make any type of performance claim. Hell there are non turbo SR20DE S15's. 140HP. oh yeah gotta back up that S15 face!

Oh wait....non turbo R32 or RB25DET R32 which ain't that fast! OH crap gotta back that up too! Oh man!

Thats what I'm saying, dont be gay and put the front of a car on there if your just doing it for the looks. Atleast put the engine in there too. And let me correct you "NiteKid." I am from the fuck state of Ohio, we really need to teach people like your father how to have safe sex so these fuck ups don't happen as often.

Fenders - not in production yet, we are having custom metal brackets made to fit the R32 headlights to the S13 core support. These will be made locally here. After those are finished we will begin producing the parts. Which will take approx 2-3 months.. Making them in FRP (fiberglass) and carbon versions.

I had the R33 on my S-14 but changed it to the R32 about a year ago. I had seen so many of them on Hondas...grrr... Funny thing is, I primered my car black, a couple of months back and now it looks just like your except I have the R32 front! )same rims and everything) Are yours offsets? Hahhah...nice car!
