Mix And Match Body Kit..

[goshoryuken]

Hey guyz, newb again. ... I want to get an S15 front end conversion done to my 1989 240sx coupe. It's a two-tone S13, green and grey. I definately want an S15 front end, for sure, no matter what anyone says and how ricey it looks, they can ^&*( themselves. My question is what front bumpers do I have the choice of buying with the s15 front conversion? I want wide body fenders, the widest out there, and a nice rear bumper for the s13. 4 fenders, two bumpers, the headlights, and a very aggresive s15 hood, I was thinking of the vented one that JUN offers. . . any others out there that look as phat as that one? Which side skirts would look hot? I am getting all this done very soon so please help me out, and post pics!!!! I need to see everything available for what I'm asking so that I can make up my mind and order the parts. Also keep diffusers and stabilizers in mind, as well as grill kis, aero mirrors, F! wings, carbon fiber wings, anything really hot for the exterior, dont worry about the rice, I can back the look up after me and nismo_freak drop the sr20 with mods that tmake it over 550 rwhp this summer.

These are the wide side fenders I like....http://www.240sx.org/links/clu...s.jpg

Flame on me now before you miss the chance!!!

[BB Turbo]

What in tha hale are you thinking? That is so rice I cant even begin to explain, whats up with all of these noobs asking questions we dont care about? Everyone knows the S15 front end looks horrible, and very distasteful. Uggghhh, whats the world coming to? Just kidding, I think it looks tight, you might want to go to http://www.c-west.co.jp or http://www.autoimaging.com, or ask dauntt some questions, check out http://www.bomexaero.com too, but better yet, look at the huge thread on a list of over 50 body kit manufacturers for 240s, its probably on the next page.

The effort you put into that I actually thought you were being serious lol.

[goshoryuken]

I work in accounting at a small business, making good money. I go to college full time and work full time . . and the rest of the time . . is spent on my car. LOL, yeah I thought I was being flamed there for 20 seconds, lol. Yeah, the S15 front end is tight. I know a place where I can get the whole front clip off the s15 for $4800 plus shipping which will be around 600 - 800 extra. Is that price good? The source is very reliable, the guys at those shops own three awesome wrx's . . they definately are all about quality and I trust them. They're called Fizz Autosports in Bayside, New York. I'm thinking of getting a gun-metal or electronic blue paint job with black carbon fiber hood and black wing. It'll look tight. I need ideas on s13 rear bumpers. Post some hot accessories for the body also . .like aero mirrors and stuff, cause I can't find too many good ones of those. I want the front bumper to look like the OMEGA R33 front bumpers . . . u know what I'm talking about? And the fenders . . I want the ones that are in this pic . .because they're wide body and look really tight. Also . . are there any more wide body fenders for the s15 . . and if not . . are there any universal ones that I can use? http://www.240sx.org/links/clu...s.jpg Keep in mind, I also need wide body rear fenders that are shown in that pic . .will they fit my s13?? If not, which ones do I use then? The stock front end will look good all alone but it will need upgrading. Actually . . the whole front clip will cost me 4800 plus 800 shipping. which includes the whole front clip of the s15 including sr20 engine. . .is that a good deal or not? I'm buying in a few weeks or months . .so lemme know now.

PSS - Gun-metal or electronic blue? or maybe all JET BLACK!!!, lol .. can't make up my mind . . comments . .opinions . .

Any S15 Front Bumper have to be special ordered. You have, as with the rest of you car, multiple choices for kits. I currently have a S15 on a S14 (Soon to have an SR :ylsuper ) pictured below. And yes, that is MINE. I am currently getting a completely new kit so the Bomex front on there now will soon be up for sale. I got the Nismo sides, Bomex rear quarter panels, Bomex rear deck lid spoiler, and I custom made rear fender flares. For what you wanna do, I think it MIGHT have to be a custom job. So many different curves between the 2 styles. You could get the Do-Luck S15 Fenders, but they aren't that wide and you'd have to modify them to work. Check this place out, will probably give you a good idea of kits in Japan....http://www.takakaira.comOh yeah, Border makes a better looking hood that JUN. That's the one I ordered.

[FTRS14.5]

I didn't read the other post, but as for your clip. You WILL have to do a LOT of custom work to make those OEM pieces fit onto your car. I used the Strawberry Face conversion and it fit like a glove. Also for the motor, you'll have to do custom work to make that fit as well like custom transmission mounts. Wiring I heard is a lot harder for a S15 than any other SR. That's what I heard. Look for a S13 Front clip and a Strawberry Face conversion, you'll be saving more money than just getting the S15 Clip. But hey, if money and time ain't a thing, then go do the S15 clip. I've done my research on it, and opted not to do it. Your choice of course.

[Rockenreno]

I believe the S15 sr20 has more power than the s13/s14 sr20 (correct me if I'm wrong), so it might be worth the extra hassle for the extra power.

[FTRS14.5]

It has about 50hp more than the S13, and about 30hp more than the S14. Here's where my 2 cents come in.......Why spend an extra $2500+ for 50hp when you can buy a S13 for around $2500+/-, get a turbo upgrade and all the works, get about 300-350whp and still spend the same amount if you were to buy a S15? And I'm not the only one that thinks this way either. Just my 2 cents. Don't think I'm trying to burn you.....

[goshoryuken]

I want the widest ****en silvia the states has, the widest, fastest, phattest, loudest, and sexiest. I'm also doing the lamborghini door conversion on it too. It's just a shame that I dont have time, other wise I'de be up to the body and sound system and would already have my 550+ hp rwhp SR20 in there.

[Lsnaple]

i also see what your saying FTR, i would much rather do that also.i always wondered why people do that.

[SilviaLuvr]

i'll go to importfan.com and check out their s15 front ends. they have a lot to choose from if not there check out http://www.takakaira.com/

[nametakennow]

Jeez... I sense a show car with balls coming on... I hope you don't go overboard and get a 5ft tall wing or something. The idea is nice, can't wait to see it.

[burgy240]

Thats my Sr powered ichigo. 1st, we have an s13 with eth ichigo face here at the shop also. It is also SR'ed. The s15 will look great/****ty depending on the $$$ you put into it. The ichigo face on our s13 was all oem parts cut and welded and it took about 2 months but totally worth it. The hood will have to be modified for two reasons. First on the s13 the hinges won't match up and need to be moved. 2nd the hood should be widened in order to fill the gap along the sides. Your best bet would be "strawberry face" kit for the fenders and bumper. Supposed to fit perfect. As for the body kit, well to each his own. You willl also run into some trouble with the wiring of the headlights. minor but it willcome up. As for the SR, if you plan on high HP #'s then the s15 is a waste of $$$ and harder to tune. It will get yuou more Hp at first because of the upgraded turbo and cams but the vvt will be a pain later when climbing in HP #'s. Get an S13 blacktop motor and start from scratch. good luck and i hope you have funds available.

[BB Turbo]

Here you go, enjoy!

[BB Turbo]

Whoops, sorry, i attached the wrong image! That was supposed to be 5 s15s together.

[lessthanjakejohn]

You have to , have to paint your car flat black. with a black leather interior, with darkish red accents.

[goshoryuken]

I'm not getting the VVT SR20's, I already know about the tuning difficulties. I'm going to get a regular S13 sr20 black top, but I still have to put some thought into it. I'm doing my research every day, and in about two to three years tops . . you guys can be proud to call yourselves the home of the hottest silvia in the states . .which will be mine. No offense guys . . but my car will just own all.

Haterz . . it's time to flame.

[SilviaLuvr]

yeeeeeeeeeeeah rrrrrrrright. so your telling me, before i get to the big boys, your telling me your going to beat black240's structure's 240, duant's 240, my project 240, and everyone else's 240 on board? (now wit the big boys) your going to beat the injens "S14.5", autoimgaing's 240, and not to mench the signal's S15 with over 700-750hp, not sure wit all the shi-t they done to it now, yeah ok. i hope yo uhave a lot and i mean a lot of money. hmm even still you wouldn't have the best.

ok. let's look at what your working wit. your going off of the sr20 motor, a motor that damn there everyone who owns a 240 have. not only that they most likely had their's longer then you which means they already a few steps a head of you. i fyou really want to make a impact, go wit an RB series motor. hmmm...even still you'll have to have a motor like that professionally installed which will aslo cost a lot no a SH*T LOAD of money. esspeacilly in a 240.

[lessthanjakejohn]

Why do some of you guys insist on everything being "professionally" installed? If you really want a car that you can be proud of build it yourself. Just because your a newbie doesn't mean that your car is going to be crappy if you do it yourself.

[stretch240sx]

hey just to let you know... the pic you psoted is just flares,,, not wide body...

What is up with all these noobs that think they own all and dont know jack sh#& about 240s? I hate people that think they are all that and think they own all, this guy is exactly the kind of person we dont need around here, we help him out and what does he say in gratitude? but my car will own all, shut up and your welcome for us helping YOU out, get a life and ask questions somewhere else.:puke

Just kidding again, well, if you put time in money into it, then it just might be, but you still have to remember that most of that will be your opinion, and me personally, i wouldnt be talkin smack like that unless you got something to show for it, some people dont like that and think its childish. Hope you can get what you want though:peace

ok well if you want to do it yourself go right on ahead. if you THINK you know what your doing go for it BUT i'll tell you this, if in fact when you ***** something up in your engine while installing it, who's going to pay for it? you. your actually going to hook your engine, have something foul out, and pay for it out of your own pock it which will put back your schedual to "the best 240" right. im just looking out for you. at least when you have someone else do it, they will be decent enough to give you a warranty just in case something did go wrong. and if you reed what i said that was for the skyline swap whcih needs cutting, welding, and remounting certain things. (at least with the RB26DETT motor)

[goshoryuken]

I apreciate all the help and advice that everyone gives me but in the end . . it all depends on me, and yeah .. I may be a newb but I've already learned so much in such little time. I only got my car like a week or two ago and I already know a lot, I have a dream . . is there something wrong with that? Flame on guyz, cause as you'll notice, nothing get's in the way of my dream of making an awesome S135. I've narrowed down a few things. The front bumper I want is http://www.apexi.co.jp/company.html I'm pretty sure I havent seen it for sale anywhere . . is it possible I can get that or did Apex only do that front bumper for the Racing championships in Japan? The front is also shown here http://www.apexi.co.jp/eventimg/barimage.gif . So I've made my mind up on that. I want that front bumper . . with these eyelids on each side . . http://www.optauto.com/store/images/CW-S15EL.GIF , they're by C-West. If I can't possibly get that front bumper . . I want the Signal Auto S15 one . . http://www.importspeed-south.c...6.jpg . What skirts should I be looking for? S13 skirts or S15 skirts? S15 skirts won't fit right? And S13 skirts probably will fit but they won't match as well .. is there any way I can get phat S15 sideskirts for my S13 and get them to fit like a glove? Also, I haven't looked for skirts that much but which ones will match the two overly aggresive front bumpers that I'm thinking about? Skirts that are real low to the ground, because the front bumpers will be low also, and wide . . because the rest of the car will be wide, and not to mention a few curves. Try to find some and post pics or links so I can check em out.

[Lsnaple]

i think your crazy for buying that wing. its very expensive.

[goshoryuken]

Well yeah, that's why I need you gyz to post pics and prices and links so I dont buy expensive **** like that and get quality at an affordable price. . . keep posting . .i need more ideas

thnx in advance

[SilviaLuvr]

if you want the best you'll have to spend top dollar for it. if you buy something for "an affordable price" you'll most likely get the rip-off version of it. trust me. when i ordered my VIS racing invader (fake CIII) bodykit for my 180, nothing matched up, so i sold it, got my money back and then got the real veilside CIII kit.

the front bumper that is on the signa;'s s15 is the target's wide body kit (im pretty sure of it) it may have to be modified to fit a S13 b/c of the width. with the c-west wing since your looking to save money, you can order the aluminim model for $342. real carbon fiber wings are expensive no matter how you slice it. unless you know somebody that can get it for you for you at cost.

"S13 skirts or S15 skirts? S15 skirts won't fit right? And S13 skirts probably will fit but they won't match as well .." OMG i can't belive you just said that! what the sh*t are you talking about! if you have an S13 model car then S13 sideskirts will match up perfectly since they are made for the S13 model car. S15's are bigger then the S13. if you had an S14 or a 180 then they won't fit, but jezus tap dancing criz you have the car that the side skirts where freak'n made for.

[Lsnaple]

yea i was going to mention that but decided to be nice . yes, get the target front end, its fuggin awesome. if youd like to see a pic of that on the sil15-eighty or whatever, check out signals. the blue one.

[goshoryuken]

Where can I get that wide body kit then? The target wide body s15 kit? And yes, now that I know only s13 sides will fit . .which sides should I get that will match the rest of the really wide body?? Not to mention the rear bumper and rear fenders. . . Are there any other hoods out there that I don't know about? Ones with vents. The C-West wing may be very expensive, but one thing's for sure . .it's very high quality. I might end up getting that 1900 wing. I'll try to find it at a better price first of course, but I have to have that wing. Is there another wing out there that's just as good but less? Is there an adjustable wing that I can get? And should I get vents installed into the fenders and sides? vents and / or z3 cuts? or mr2 side cuts? With a car that powerful and hot, I wil need venting to cool the brakes and all, so . .what should I do? give me suggestions. PS - If I get a wide body kit, will a regular aftermarket s15 hood fit? or will i need a special hood to? Probably not is what I'm thinking. And will I have to change the interior of the car if I do the swap or no? If yes ,what, if no . . why won't I have to change it? Wont some things not work? Remember, I'm a newb, so I need guidance.

PSS - Electronic Blue, Gun-Metal, or Jet Black . . what color exterior should I get? Of course the hood and wing will be black.. and the rims gun-metal.

-GoShoryuken

[Lsnaple]

black. DO NOT get z3 fender holes or whatever. you wont need a different hood, because the wide body extends the front and rear fenders, not the entire car. your gonna be spending a crazy amount of money on this, and alot of time.i dont even think there is a target wide body kit, i was just saying get the front end if your doing the s15 conversion. you dont need to change the interior. you *may* (im not sure cause i dont have one) have to do the tach or other gauges depending on which sr motor you get.have fun.
