I've been around the Z31s for a few years and on a couple different Z31 forums, and I've NEVER heard of this. Where did you hear of this? Got pictures?

yeah I gotta say I've never heard of this and it seem backwards, there are people putting 240z front ends on 240sx's which I personally think is retarded, and I fon't understand why you want take the top of nissans product line the z and try to make it mroe like the midline secretary's car? either way I assure you there is no easy of making your car look like anything other than what it is, anything is possible with enough time tallent or money, if you want a 240 sx you can have one for similar prices to the z31

it's a playful jab based in reality, the 240sx was marketed to the signle female, and for a while they were a real tough sell in the used market before the engine swaps made them popular with a younger crowd

you gotta remember you're in a Z section, so when you say 240, we tend to assume you are speaking of a true sports car, one that ends in the letter Z, if you want to talk about a 240SX I suggest you add those lowley letters at the end or use the chassis code, becasue we are sooo superior to the lower letter in the alphabet

I've only seen the 240Z front end on the 240SX done in Japan.S30 Z-cars so extremely expensive over there so that is a way to get a more modern reliable daily driver with that classic look.

And the 1987 300ZX is a good looking car. The 87-89 front end is a possible swap onto the older Z31. I like that look myself.
