I'm bored and seeing as I don’t have the cash to hook up my ride I want to pimp out a toy car. anyone know where I can find one? not looking for fast back, a sil-eighty, or silvia… just a nice stock s13 240sx coupe, preferably a pig nose model so it’s just like mine :P… I've looked everywhere and I cant find one, seems like the only option is to buy a 180sx and glue the front end on a silvia..

revell and AMT Ertel didn't make 240SX kits. I've only seen old Datsun Z car kits from them. All the japanese companies only made J-spec S13s (silvias and 180s). Your best bet currently is to chop up a silvia and a 180 model and put them together

i have noticed that some american companies have been producing "tuner" model kits, so given the rising popularity of the S chassis, we may see a "tuner" 240SX model kit. All you'd have to do is just not apply the crummy decals and paint it to look stock.

yeah, I want the us-spec s13. HLJ was the first place I tried, nothing but j-specs there, same thing with ebay. looks like I'll be putting the 180sx front end on the silvia body..ergh..
