it involves some custom work. but its not impossible. But it is a hassle. Back when my budget was better i considered doing a r33 front on my s14 but found i could make the zenki front look dead sexy with a lil work and i succeded. you should see a zenki with HIDs,and german headlights.
Yeah but with those fluted lenses messing up the beam pattern, I dont see the comparision between an R33 front with projector headlights and a Zenki

Turbose: Check HIdplanet, some guy has a picture thread on there on his OEM HID retrofit on his Zenki.

After looking at this pic, I've had the urge to convert my 240 into a skyline. This guy did a very good job, at first I thought it was a skyline until I noticed the steering wheel and his friend told me it was a 240 coupe.

dont people realize these conversions especially the rear anre gonna require insane amounts of cutting wielding,fiberglass work to even look half right. then 2-3k for a good paint job done right. none of this stuff is bolt on. Imagine tring to put a mustang front end on a focus or vette front an a camaro. I dunno maybe im talking out the ass but it seems like way more work than its worth. But i guess if you got more money than sense wth.

the rear is going to take some professional help, definitely. the front is a totally different story. there's actually little guesswork involved with fitting the front, save for redrilling a few new holes. Dimensionally it is a bit wider than a (RP)S13 front end, that being the only exception. there's no custom molding involved. just measure twice, drill once, and everyhting will be gravy.
