| Quote, originally posted by Shusaka » | Zenki FTMFW. Period. any zenki that has a kouki conversion is a disgrace to zenkis everywhere, owners of these cars should be ashamed of themselves if they converted zenki beauty into kouki muck, or should be seeking a retrofit back to their proper zenki form. Also is Blue Emerald Pearl, Paint Code FN2, A Limited Edition Color?
I Want Those Save The Zenki Stickers as well!

are you saying people should be proud and keep ther sh*t original, or do you really believe zenki looks better than kouki??
if your not original owner, your just another bandwagoner

you're right, next time i see a rustless shell for $300 i'll pass on it since i'm not keeping it zenki  . i'm geting a chuki bumper for my hatch asap

Bought my 95 in 2000. Eight years later, I still love it. 167,000 miles and still strong. Front end collision in 2003 ... added CF hood, rims, springs, H+R spacers, drilled/ dimpled rotors and steel braided lines. I still wish for a body kit, but even w/o it's still my favorite USDM style. Still workin' it.

For S13s I prefer the Zenki by far. As for the S14 its a toss up, the Kouki front end is more aggressive, but I think the Zenki front end flows with the rest of the car better.

Personally I like the Kanji even if it doesn't come into a direct translation, but then again I also like to be able to read it too. I like 6 and i guess 1 and 2.

welcome "NeedFaster240"from what I have gathered on the intraweb....
zenki = japanese for "preceding model" or early model
pignose = what our front bumpers look like on S13 Zenkis
kouki = late model... there are S13 and S14 Zenkis and koukis. use the search button and youll see the differences... all the cars on this post (should be) Zenki only... IE: my 1990 Zenki S13, pictured above... if your front bumper looks different, its kouki.
Anyone, please correct me.

No way man  I want some glass German headlights. Those were painted like that when I got the car, and I just have a hard time scraping up nearly $500 for some headlights. I'd buy a Zenki over a Cooky anyday.

i actually do prefer the zenki S14 the S13 is a toss up but definitely prefer the S14 Zenki, i personally think it has a better flow and its in my opinion the best looking 240/Silvia made save for the S15 Spec R Aero which will always hold on to the number one in my heart

Hahahaha, Had I stumbled upon a chuki as clean as your hatch, Id have been all over that. Sooner or later it would have ended up a pig though. I just prefer the edgier looks. Im an 80s styling kind of guy thats all. I have no problem with a conversion here and there, as long as they are done well.

At least I know I'm not alone. For some reason people just can't appreciate the Zenkis. I searched forever to try and find a somewhat stock s14 Zenki. I don't care what happens to the economy ill sell the DD before I would my Zenki. Much love for the piggies too.
