NA to NC - parts interchangeable?

Postby jezza » Wed Jan 11, 2012 3:09 pm

Hi there - I have an NA - OK condition, and an NC wreck. Can someone tell me - will a bodykit designed to fit an NA fit on an NC (front spoiler, side skirts and rear bar)?

The only directly interchangable part I know if is the circular Indicators in the front quarter panels.


The body kit won't fit.
Well, not without massive adjustments

If you are heKtiK enough the engine will go in the NAs boot and you can run it 4wd like a GTR-oh.

If you've got enough money and/or talent you could make it fit.

Mang...

Why don't you stick your

up your

...see if it fits.

:D sorry but I couldn't help myself to share this see if it fits!


(What's useful in the wreck, which you might be able to do some swaps with forum members?)

I'd like to see you fit the NC mirrors, rear vision mirror and some bits of the interior, into the NA...see if it fits.

Why would you put the bits off your good NA onto your wrecked NC?

About the only interchangeable thing on a NA to NC is the driver, and even then some stubborn ones wont ever change over. :lol:
