Maxima to Skyline Conversion???

I remember a site about a Kit for the max, to convert into a skyline. It includes the tails, body panels, and headlights can someone direct me in the direction of that site?

Has someone been dreaming?...

I don't think so. For the Integra they (somebody) can mold you one, but I seriously don't think there's one for the Maxima. Just trying to help.

Actually......

motorex did a skyline conversion on a maxima. it was on a 5th gen though. they converted it to the R33 style skyline. it was only the body change, but it was very sweet. I might have pics if you wanna see it. i emailed them about pricing and they never mailed me back

The yellow Max looks good with the Skyline rears but the blue one looks whack IMO.

thats cause Rich's tails are R34's and the blue ones ar R33's.. the R33's are smaller with the signal under them, Rich's tails blend in much better

Sure, go right ahead. I think www.vqpower.com has all of them. I'll be taking more soon after I get a little more work done on the interior and stereo.

That because you need to americanize the car, takes big money to do that!

Boy are you a funny guy. don't get me wrong, I love the looks and performance of a GTR, but it's not doing anything the germans aren't doing either. They both are running on Turbo's and I'm not sure about the GTR but my ol' mans 911 GTII doesn't run a high PSI to get that mid 3 sec 0-60. But it is almost twice the price... but while we are on the subject the Boxter-S isn't far behing the GTR and it's normally aspirated... Lets even these cars out with some Turbo, and see who's who.

Yeah the front of the car looks grat but the tail lights looks out of place. I think the altezza's look better ( certaintly fit better). I like what "JoesMax" did with this altezzas. I think i might do the same thing, they look like skyline tails to an extant

I almost ran into a tree while i waslooking at the car

Umm this is about the skyline thing beating a porshe after mods. Umm, I think the AWD 911 twin turbo modded would eat a modded skyline. It weighs less, handels better, and does not need NOS to get those high numbers. You can do this would a Viper, Porshe, Corvette and smoke a skyline. I love NISSANS!!!
