I saw a couple of pictures of the Skyline Maxima front end conversion on www.motorex.net and was wondering where I could find other pictures and pricing on it. Is this thing a whole body kit or is it the front end. Anyone know of pricing?

I thought it was just a custom conversion.

Done by a body shop. I wasn't aware it was a kit. Cool. I might just have to sell some of the wife's fine crystal..

Front looks nice, but the rear is

DISTGUSTING. That guy came *this* close to having good taste.

impressed

i'm exteremly impressed with the front end, however i bought my maxima because it was a maxima, not because i could make it a r34 look alike.. just imo. i think it's more worth doing custom kits makin' the maxima look more agressive or more luxurious but not to make it look like another car. see alotta those converions done here in the far east. tercels with a m3 conversion kit, and such... makes me sick, but also impresses me at the same time..

Well, consider this:
The JDM Type R front end conversion is over $2000. And this bolts straight up to the USDM integras. The fact that you will have to do body work and the Skyline is a more expensive car than the Type R, you can expect it to be well over taht $2000 mark for the complete conversion.

i doubt it man....

i don't think either the front of the back is bolt on....as a matter of fact, it looks like they both required body modding as well as cutting. i do like it though.....

no way

it's not bolt on. it's also a wide body kit. at least in the back it is. if you look carefully you'll see that the rear fenders are flared, it'll cost a grip to have the body shop fade things in, and the parts too.. JDM also sells the r34 headlights now.. i want i want.

Dang, IMO, you guys should be thinking SC before body kit for the same money!

Maybe you can get a group deal on this...

SPW is a company that has a lot of lighting parts, and are now selling JDM headlights, including a one-piece version of the R34 headlight.
The headlight for the R34 is much shorter in length than the R33 version. If one of them is going to fit a Max, this would be the easiest one to use.
I don't know if there is a website or not, because Turbo Magazine didn't list one. But check out the newest issue's 'new product' section on page 96. Whoop, there it is!
