You are a kind person, restoring that poor vert, can't wait to see the S15 Conversion pics, good luck man!

[jonesbplayer]

maybe you guys can help me out I was wondering what to change my sig to this

[jonesbplayer]

or this

[fallingspeaker]

yay he did it. Is it the camera or the ground? but it looks a little crooked. Not that i'm complaining, mine just looks stock... a little bit dirty and stock... with a saggy bumper

[jonesbplayer]

its the camera and i also don't have it on 100% yet when I scre down the fenders it pulls up a little which adjusts for the slight sag you see

[krash]

YOU DID IT!!! OH YEA!!! niccce man, get up some bigger pics!

[240sxdriftdaily]

Yes!! more, we need Pics!How much did the conversion cost you? where did you source tthe parts?Any fitment issues?I'm considering a Some kind of conversion for a Vert as well. When i get mine

[jonesbplayer]

I'll post pics this weekend when i go home. I had a ton of fitting issues but that was due to the changing of my core support. Also the accident i had gotten in. The whole coversion minus the core support was about 1400 from sportcompactonly.com ask for ramin if you call. tell him Richard referred you. The s15 core support was about 250. Also new s15 or fabricated hinges is a must. I had to fab some temporarily till i can fix them better or find the s15 hinges. They are hard to find. I also heard s14 hinges will fit.Alot of sanding on the doors to get them just right also. Lets see have i left anything out. Oh yeah adjusting the lights, they need to be adjusted to point in the right direction. Also the lighting harnesses need to be matched up. If you an s15 conversion let me know so i can give you the lighting color matchup.

jonesbplayer - I got to hand it to you man. Much respect from NJ.

I remember the first time you posted - and saw your car. I was thinking to myself...damn..I think I saw that somewhere before.

The other day I checked the 240sx threads again and that's when it hit me. Someone pointed it out for sale - and you later became the buyer. I remember reading thru the thread and thinking..."wow...this is the wackness". But brotha, I give you much love for actually DOING IT. Half the guys around here (not vert forum though) are just a bunch of bolt-on tuners (maybe even less). You - you're in a totally different realm.

holla.

[jonesbplayer]

thanks for the compliments

[donmeca2020]

vey nice bro, try getting some bigger pics up. you plan on a full repaint? or your going with that gold color again?

[jonesbplayer]

full repaintthat will be a lil further into the summer. As soon as i get my hands on one of the other digital cameras or a polaroid i'll post some pics

[92droptop]

Alright! That's awesome, man. You have quite literally brought that vert back from the dead; I'm very impressed. Good luck with your future mods, and I can't wait to see more pics!

at first i was thinkin something in between midnight blue and royal blue. But now I'm kind of leaning toward this color i have seen on ferraris. i think its azzurro. If its not the color can someone tell me the right color!

[ironmantko1]

question was this conversion hard? i love the s15 fronts and i have a 13 and im considering a swap. wus this swap complicated?

[jonesbplayer]

depends on if you have every done any kind of conversion before. If so it should be a piece of cake.

Oh yeah adjusting the lights, they need to be adjusted to point in the right direction. Also the lighting harnesses need to be matched up. If you an s15 conversion let me know so i can give you the lighting color matchup.

I've just started working on my S14 --> S15 conversion. Do you mind going into more detail about what you mean about adjusting the headlights to point in the right direction? Did you actually open the headlights up and adjust the internals? Or something else? I'll look forward to your reply. Thanks.

[jonesbplayer]

well for staters the lights come "hid ready" not hid also if you are lucky like i was w/ the core support. a few washers should do the trick

I'm sorry, but I don't completely understand your reply. You said earlier "Oh yeah adjusting the lights, they need to be adjusted to point in the right direction." I was hoping that maybe you could provide a more detailed explanation about everything you did concerning the adjustment/aim of the headlights. Specifically...

- Did you modify/adjust anything internally on the headlights to help aim them better?

- How were you "lucky" with the core support? Did the core support have something to do with the aiming?

- You mention that a few washers should do the trick. Did you use washers as part of your overall aiming techinique?

Thanks for your help on this.

[jonesbplayer]

yeah to adjust the vertical and aiming. Also if you "need" s15 hood hinges they are almost impossible to find. But I may have finally tracked some down. Oh yeah and I completely changed the core support. Look @ my earlier posts. in this thread. I'm not sure if you can do a direct bolt on w/ an s14. you might have to get a second opinion w/ that one. I could have done it w/ the s13 but my core support was bent so i changed it out.. I'd be glad to answer any other questions you have.

Hinges at last !!!

[white90esex]

Hey, was that car on ebay motors a while back? I remember looking at something that looked like that. I wanted to buy it and redo the entire car cause boy was it ugly B4.

Anyways, looks like it will pretty cool once its done.

BTW: im doing just about the same led conversion to my interior too!!!

I got a hatch though, Im hoping to buy a convertable some time soon. There was one in a J-yard in my town and I wanted the whole thing and when I went to go get it...... crush! I was o so ever pissed!!!!
