Looks like an old skool Skyline front end grafted onto one of them mental Nissan Stagea estates that run R33 Skyline engines and drivetrain. Very cool

The screen and a-pillars rearwards looks very modern, with the old style front stuck on.
I'm in two minds. It initially looks very well done indeed - the swage line down the wing follows on from the rest of the car perfectly, but in the magazine picture, the wheel arch looks a bit wonky somehow. Might just be the photo angle?

Cool idea, but there's much cooler original skyline wagons about:

This is fantastic! Stagea with a C10 front and an RB26 gtr lump. A bit of googling brought up some photos from TAS, as Will suggested: The thread I pinched them from.Some nice shinybits on there too, the immaculate C10 has got to be one of the best looking cars I've ever seen...

Think that's awesome, there are a fair few R32 with R34 front ends ect. But this does it in a totally new way, very cool.
Would like to see a R32 GTR with that front end!

A bit of googling brought up some photos from TAS, as Will suggested: And then the rear lights of the Stegea have been either painted or covered, and some earlier ones glued over the top, along with some ill-fitting chrome bumper corners. And people actually thought this was a good idea? Could have been so good!

I think it goes to show how much a good picture can make a car. Bruce's 1st pic is just full of OOOOFFFF and win and I'd have it in a flash from that! The others do show some flaws with it though and the rear lights thing is a bit weird... However it is hard not to win with estate+old J Although looking at the stagea lines in that rear shot - its just aching for a pick-up conversion....

Looks terrible, reminds me of a kit i saw a few years ago to transform the front and rear of your 4th gen camaro or firebird to a 57 chevy. ;D

And people actually thought this was a good idea? Could have been so good! Tell me how you'd improve this, please. The original lights stook proud of the rear panel, which they've followed on faithfully in the conversion. This isn't mean't to be inflammatory, just after your constructive input.

well for a start those original rear lights/covers need flattening out, they should be removed and plated over and then the older reaer lights mounted on flat metal work, also those corner bumpers would work better flush mounted.
And the front arches do look weird somehow, like they don't quite fit the wheelbase.
looks good at first glance but then falls down when you start really looking at it.

Volvo back as my main squeeze, more boost and some interior goodies on the way.

Built buy a company in Japan called kids heart. The same people who built the official nissan ps13 (sileighty) 280sx's under license I believe. Think they were one of the first companies to graft an r34 front onto a stagea, same with the r35 front. Have a feeling they also did an r32 version at some point... a link to their site; www.kidsheart.co.jp/menu.htm(it's all in japanese so a translator is usefull lol) EDIT: After some digging found the C110 was built by roadster garage in Japan. Thier site hasn't been updated in a while but they also built this; roadstergarage.jp/
