One of the most popular modifications for the old Nissan Stagea was a front end conversion from an R34 Skyline GT-R, so I guess it's only natural that someone's done the same thing with an M35 Stagea and the R35 GT-R. This car was built by Kids Heart (Tezuka Tsuyoshi's shop) and debuted this weekend at the Nagoya Auto Trend show. Looking at these photos, the conversion appears to be extremely well done. It's not only the "face" that got the GT-R treatment, but the rear bumper as well.

 

Who needs the rumored GT-R crossover SUV when you can have this?

Check out Tezuka's blog for more photos.

Kids Heart was commissioned to build the original Sileighties right?

maybe with another front bumper it'd look cooler.

but it honestly doesn't look as bad as i'd imagine.

r34 front is still superior.

It looks good, but maybe if all the front panels were lowered down about 50mm so the lines of the bonnet flow down the side it would look  much better

Looks awesome, but the rear looks really ugly with those pillar taillights. Other than that, the conversion looks really nice.

Went to the show today, and I think it looks much, much better in person.  Here are a couple pics I took.

I also think it's a cool idea, but damn that is the worst wheel fitment ever. Of all time.

I like it, although I have to agree on the bad stance, needs to be a bit more aggressive

bobberz said:

I like the concept, but from the back it looks like a Volvo, and also the wheel fitment looks quite off :/

If they used bigger wheels/better suspension and maybe truncated the hood a bit, that would look perfect.

That actually went a lot better than I'd expected it too, apart from the horrendous A-pillar transition. Pretty cool :)

Love it. I think its a fantastic project! Cant wait to see how they improve on this.

Naga_Ten said:

I kinda like it, but it doesn't really have that.... Ruggedness... of the R34 Skyline. So it looks kinda weird too...

But, Kids Heart FTW - I'm sure they'll improve their concept.

Wow, I love it.  Such a sick wagon, I think I like it better than the GT-R

I like it! It looks really fresh, though the GTR front bumper could be changed into another decent bodykit like Zele. And if they lose the GTR badge at the side (near the edge sword design) and smoothen it up IMO it'd look cool. And it needs bigger rim and tires!

After the 911 turbo Killer, the M5 Breack Killer :-)

I like both, one my family and the coupe for trackdays :-). Cool, it will be exactly the same "office" behind the sterring wheels.

Dude this thing is awesome, i dont see how its ugly, just looks like a stagea rear, and the front looks great still.

That looks rather good, Better then a standard M35 Stagea that's for real.
