4-door R32 Tail Lights conversion?

[armbrecht]

is it possible to change the 4 door skyline tail lights to the ones on the 2 doors.

the 4 doors have that really ugly black box around the tail lights - looks so ugly imo.

[R324D]

yes it is possible but will set you back quite a bit of $$$

You need to change rear guards, boot, rear bar and more.... not worth it. Besides I like the Sedan lights

i don't think you have to change the gaurds. its just the boot lid rear bar and the lights. i saw it somewhere one guy did the conversion.

just paint the black surround.

Stollen from the "Matte Black Respray" thread. Tail lights look good here!

I reakon the sedan tail lights look good too..

[Mr GTS4]

got any more pics.. thats PHAT!!!!

[inark]

its one of the guys from NZ.

its not matt black either its satin black... there is actually a big difference.

very fat car... even has the rims im buying for my 4door.

as ive said in other threads... the std 4door lights look hot on dark coloured cars... just not white or silver.

Those are 17" Koya Drift Tek's btw, they're just like the D-spec/URAS rims but in gold.

Pics were originally posted from D1NZ forums.

And yes, those sedan lights look phat on black.

[inark]

i always thought it was such a shame that they never made those any bigger than 17s... but all the skylines and other cars ive seen em on look bigger than 17s anyway.

still... 18s would look fat... but only Bee-R make that exact style in 18s and they look fat as.

[someonestolecc]

Those are 17" ? god damn.

my 18's look like 16's :\

[inark]

drop ur car on its balls like that one then cc should make them look bigger

[gaffa]

yes it can be done but its a hell of a job

you will not need to change the rear guards but you will need the corners for the tail lights on the boot from a coupe

you will need to cut out the area behind the tail lights to make the coupe ones fit

rear bar lines up ok will need to have to change the reinforcement to a coupe one

and you will also need the reverse lights from a coupe

thanks to UPI for lending all the parts to test fit

pics attached to those keen to try it and want ideas

[krayzia2]

That looks awesome gaffa, did you use the coupe boot lid, or did you modify the sedan one ?

And did you have to modify the outer edges of the tail lights to make them fit? or did they fit straight on?

Cheers.

Its a huge custom job. The 2 door tail lights are nearly 2 inches taller - as is the bootlid nearly 2 inches wider. The curvature on the outside of the housing is also totally wrong for the sedan.

I dont think you'd be able to get a real factory looking job without some serious custom work.

I've decided to deal with the sedan lights and find other things to worry about.

Hey gaffa, can you please answer the above question.

I'm interested in this conversion as well as I had a slight stuff up with my rear end and finding it hard to source 4 door parts. Also I don't mind the look of a 2 door rear end and if possible I would use the 2 door parts.

Thanx
