Skyline headlights

I'm thinking about installing some Skyline headlights into my max. 4th gen. and what i wanted to know is their exact dimensions. Anyone know this info or know where i can get it. I realize it'll take some fabrication thats not a problem but i wanna see how much room i have to play with in each direction. Anyone done this already to give me some insite? I've seen it done on a camry and it looked like a whole different car. + you know skyline headlights add 50 whp

Which ones are you talking about? R32, R33 or R34 ones? I'm thinking about the same project if I get a Max but I'm opting for the R32 ones, I think that those came factory with the Clear corners. Plus, it seems to be the closest thing that will fit in terms of headlights on the max out of anything that Nissan made. Good luck with your project and please keep it updated as I am interested in this conversion. Sorry I couldn't help with the dimensions though.

Totally forgot, i wanna go with the r34's they have the most aggressive look to me. I plan on getting rid of the clear corners because i believe the skyline lights wrap around enough to make them obsolete. I've found some r34 lights for 750 which is way too much, i'm sure i can get them for less, and some r33's for the same price, haven't looked at the r32's really b/c i think they look to close to the max lights. I want them to be distinct when i'm done.

Try emailing Motorex. If they have any R34 lights, I'm sure they could give you the dimensions on them.

While the R34's are the most aggressive ones, I feel that they are better suited for the 5th Gen Max's. But it's really up to you. I just think that fabricating R34's are going alot harder than the R32's. Also, I hate to give away my ideas, but have you considered the Silvia headlights? And yes, Motorex can be alot of help with parts, I can't believe I forgot about them.

This project should cost about 3,000 with all work included, paint, welding etc.. and should cover all brackets and fabrication. Do not bondo, you will get cracks.

An that is a lot of cash for a headlight setup.

I only said that cuz the older silvia headlights look easier to fit than the R34 Skyline headlights. He could go with the older R32 or R33 headlights that have the corner lights also. I'm not telling him what to do, just giving him suggestions. The R34's would be easier to add onto a 5th Gen than the 4th Gen.
