I HAVE A 89 240SX HATCH AND I REALLY LIKE THE LOOK OF THE 96-98 TYPE-X AND I WAS WONDERING IF ANYONE SELLS A TYPE-X BODY KIT, BOTH BUMPERS AND THE SIDE SKIRTS?

Kouki means last or later in japanese. So kouki 180sx's are the last model of the 180sx. Many people think the kouki bumper is the type x bumper, but the type x bumper is just the stock bumper for 96.5-98 180sx's . 89-90 is zenki (first) and 91-94 is chuuki (middle). Same thing for s14's, zenki is 95-96 and 97-98 is kouki.

ehh, still dont see why people say kouki for type X/G bumpers, arent there other trims of the late model 180sx that dont have the aero package (type R/?)?

zenki, chuki and kouki just designates model changes.

The 180SX went through three model changes, the zenki (pignose with CA), the chuki (our 91-93 with SR20) and then the kouki with the nice bumper and the blacktop SR20.

The S13 Silvia only had zenki and kouki (CA vs SR)

If someone says they like the Type X bumper, then you know that they are uninformed. Type X came out in both chuki and kouki models (and i think the zenki too, but not sure).

calling it Type X body kit is like saying every 97-99 Eclipse has the GSX front end, where as even the RS had the same front.

So the correct term is KOUKI!! or late model 180sx, or 96-98 180sx, but not TYPE X!!

but would i be incorrect to call it the type x/type g bumper (because type x and type g are the two trims with the aero package)? or do all 4 trims of the late model 180sx come with the same bumper?
