Okay, I havea 95 240sx and I believe it's a Zenki style. How do I change it to a Kouki style? Can I change both the front and back? (taillights) And what are the specific parts I need?

Can't just just buy Kouki hood, bumper, headlights, etc... and put them in since they're both the same chassis?



TO



And would it be cheaper than an S15 conversion?

Yes...you can. But you are going to spend a butload of money AND ruin the beautiful face of a Zenki. How long have you had the car? It really grows on you after awhile.

It's slightly cheaper than a strawberry face, but not much. You really need to search for this stuff, all the info you need is on here a million times.

I totally agree with you that it grows on you. I loved the kouki style but i got a killer deal on a Zenki and now i cant see changing it.

I love my Kouki (obviously), but I really think Zenki's can be just as sexy. Don't break it, shake it.

I agree with gabossie 100% At first I wanted to do the Kouki conversion, but after a while I grew to love the Zenki. I guess it's an acquired taste, but now I can't really imagine changing it.

I believe the taillights are a direct swap. Its a fairly common mod.FOr the front, you would need fenders, hood, lights, and bumper. (and bumper support?) Unless you find a good deal on a junked kouki, its probably not worth it, IMO. I'd rather have the S15 front with 97-98 tailights.I think the Zenki looks a little like a R33...

To get the parts new from nissan is about $2500.00 - that is hood, fenders, bumper, headlights, turn signals. Bumper supports are the same I believe. Fog lights are about $250.00 for the set new. It bolts right on. I agree about the zenki front end, with a tasteful sideskirt choice, about an 1 1/2" lower and an SE chin lip, they look very sweet.

hey hadokenny, what kind of kit is that on your s14, I like it, and man that s4 is just plain sick, I love s4's. Got to drive one the other day, bout fell in love, but I like having a car that I can fix with out pulling half the engine apart to get to most of it(my s14), the S4, man that engine is shoe horned in there but still worth it if you have the money =)

MidnightS14 sexy. Expensive taste though, Ings is good stuff nonetheless. I want the Msports body kit though.
