my new s15 front

Post by **mxd** » Fri Jul 30, 2004 5:48 pm

forgot to add that we used the s13 radiator support....just cut some hole behind the lights and bring your hood (lock) bracket foward!

Post by **DoriftoMania** » Fri Jul 30, 2004 5:48 pm

those gauges are positioned for passenger to feedback driver the readings.due to the driver going sideways the eyes wont be able to concentrate on the road or gauges.drifting sideways cause eyeballs gone sideways too....foo! i think.....hehehhe

Dude you seriously get the award for the most cd players (Audio/Video Equip.) Ever!!!!!!!! Nah Kiddin....NICE Car...I want to convert my s-14 soooooo bad but there's soooo much stuff that needs to be done first...

Post by **mxd** » Fri Jul 30, 2004 5:48 pm

cd player....eq...in dash cdchanger

vents where done in 2000, im looking for a 30 mm rear fenders!

this is a 89 240sx pretty good for a 15 years old car!

Very nicely done... I personally would have placed the rear air duct a little lower, so its a functional brake cooling duct. But still looks great.... and the strawberry face conversion, its seen that some body work will be needed to make the S15 fenders work.

that is one of the nicest looking 240s my self ..i have a 91 fastback too

i personally like the sileighty look with the s13 front but the s15 front looks so sexy too

What kit is that on the 180? What rear spoiler?

Post by **KDashy** » Fri Jul 30, 2004 5:48 pm

How is it like not having center air vents? I can't imagine not being able to have hot/cold air blow at my face.

ONE DEER! !!? Damn it looks like you hit a whole family of deers! Your car did look sick in its previous form and I'm sur it will look just as good when your done the s15 conversion. Nicely done.

Post by **Doomed2Walk** » Fri Jul 30, 2004 5:48 pm

Not to be rude or anything, but where the hell do all you people get all this money?! I've worked all summer 40-60 hrs a week just to save up money for the SR swap (hopefully will be done in September ::crossing fingers::). Oh and the car looked nice/looks nice. Hopefully there won't be anymore deer in the street.

JP your car is totally sick man but I would've stuck to the flip-ups.

he was "lucky" enough to hit a deer. im pretty sure insurance covered a lot of his front end.

Post by **drifter_for_life06** » Fri Jul 30, 2004 5:48 pm

DAMN DEER! you had a slammin, bad *** 180 man....SOLID...u makin me think bout gettin that 180 instead of the Silvia....but...ummm...uhhh...the silvia's cheaper an it'll take me a helluva lot more money to get my car even close to how yours was...so I'm go my own road

thumbs up on the S15 front man, sure when everythings sorted out and painted it'll be as fresh as it was if not fresher....

How would a 1989 Nissan Silvia look with an S15 front?

Post by **drifter_for_life06** » Fri Jul 30, 2004 5:48 pm

that sucks about insurance, i guess jsut take what money you can get and get as much free parts as possible

Post by **sidewaySilvia** » Fri Jul 30, 2004 5:48 pm

I'm doing an s15 conversion on my 90 fb and there are many things to consider in price you also need the radiator support and it will coat more in bodywork to make it all fit.

If you are getting c-west bumper and fenders. They are most likely for s15 silvia. And that will require more body work opposed to getting s13 to s15 conversion parts..

THIS IS ONE SERIOUS PROJECT.. TAKIN FOREVER TO GET IT ALL PIECED TOGETHERWHAT THE BUMPER CLOT!!!!???*!! 8/

Post by **mxd** » Fri Jul 30, 2004 5:48 pm

if you want to spend money buy a radiator support and have it weld,cheaper would be a s14 support,i went with the s13 support cause i saw the conversion from west yokohama and they dont used s15 support.what you need to do is

-bring the hood lock foward about 2 inch if your not using hood pins-cut some hole in the support behind the lights.-make son brackets to hold the s15 lights

im using cwest s15 fenders and bumpers they match up very nicely not like thos gtp

of course you have to make the fenders fit firts!

Are those seat covers from autoleathers.com?
