This Skyline is sitting pretty but there is one thing throwing me off with this picture. Notice where the steering wheel is? Could it be a front end swapped 240SX? I can't really tell from this angle.

Is that a body swap?!?

I'm almost thinking it might be a 240SX with a R32 front end but I could be wrong.

Lhd/rhd conversions aren't completely unheard of.

Just a guess but it's probably a 240SX with a well-done nose swap judging from the thicker b-pillar trim whereas the R32 looks like it has a thinner piece of plastic. I could be entirely wrong and this could be a R32 with a S13/S14 LHD console swap.

It's missing the bodyline on the back fender. I'm still leaning towards it being an S13 240SX.

That's what I'm thinking too. it's also missing the R32's body line down the back fender.

Wait a minute...THIS MIGHT BE A 2JZ SWAP! I don't recall RB26 block having the exhaust on driver's right, the turbos are almost always mounted on the other side! Also the portion of the valve cover over the cam gears looks larger than the rest of the valve cover, typical of JZ engines.

I think the primary issue with doing a LHD conversion on a Skyline is the factory placement of the turbo system. Both turbines, a majority of the piping, and the exhaust manifold sit on driver's-left, taking up any space for a steering column to connect to the front axle. Granted, if an owner finds a way (be it swapping in another type of engine) to move the turbos to the other side, then LHD is possible.

Good spot! The R32's rear side window is also slightly different.

I plan on a stance like that for the Montego eventually.

Example of a bad ass black one from google search that I've seen:

It is in fact a 2JZ SWAP that I already knew and you are right the RB engines have the turbo on the other side.

Even the driver couldn't tell it was a swap.

Now you're talking.

Yeah, that's a good point! The S13 didn't receive much of a body line in that area, a small crevice but nothing like the R32.

very slightly different that I could not tell the difference until I looked at them both side to side and noticed the missing bodyline.

I'll never have his lines because this guy has a fastback, but I want that stance. Maybe a touch more subtle, but not much.

And I want a hood scoop like this one I found on google:

yeah I think it's an S13 coupe with the R32 front end

I think the all black helps, it looks vicious though!

I think you are right.

You need a stance like this!

It's definitely a 240 with R32 front. The windows and mirrors are all 240.

Also, I haaaaaaaaaaaaaattttttttteeeeeeeeeeeeee when people call cars like this "meaty stance." It's not anything stance. It's a car with slicks & skinnies.

Leave calling things "stance" to the stancebros. If there's not a bunch of excessive negative camber, stretched tires, and wheel lips sticking out past the fender, the word "stance" as the stancebros mean it has absolutely nothing to do with the car.

This has nothing to do with stancebros. It's a drag car.

Yep, it's an S13. Look at the doors.

It's pretty uncommon on Skylines, especially since the R32 was sold as RHD only. The only LHD R32/33/34s I know of are a LHD R34 with a modified Maxima dash in the UAE
