I have been in the RB forum for a while and i thought i would venture out and look at the other forums! I need to work on the ext of the car next... Doing it Gunmetal Metalic off of a IS300 for color and i am thinking s15 front with Kouki 180sx rear. That or just the Kouki front cover. I hate body kits so it will be minor lips and oe bumpers! That and of course need wheels!Motor is a RB25det With a Holset HX35 and well to much to list! Enjoy...

meh s15 fronts on h/b's...i dunno. I have a thing for pop ups, chukis, and silvias. so that may be why. I just think the fitment is a little bit awkward. But if you do it up right then who knows. GL w/ it

+1 for not doing the s15 front. Everything else is cool though, VERY clean swap.

Ultimate sleeper! Do us all a favor and leave the front alone, unless you'll do it real clean like outtowin* or that guy from west virginia.

Thanks alot guys! Its been a huge pain in the a** but it was well worth it! I think ill stay with the pop ups if i can find a nice clean lip for the front.

And yeah i NEED rims and some fat rear tires! This thing goes sidways real easy though!

And i know i cant stand driving something that looks as bad as this does but i am broke after that swap! I didnt skimp on a single part so it was a bit expensive! But paint by and rims but the end of the summer!

After this weekend, I'll be trying to sell and/or part out my hatch. I've got a pignose lip in red. I had it attached with zip ties previously. It worked well.

You sir are my hero!!! I want that lip and those rims are amazing! Nice!

And no dyno numbers yet. I am saving for ether a Power FC or just run NisTune. I need some 750cc injectors then i am shooting for 400-450... easy to do on this motor!

Also will a pignose front lip fit my front end? If so ill take it! Got any other good stuff?!?!

Love your 240 and motor choice! Plus your about a hop skip and jump away from me.

Look into the xenon lip. Looks great and really pulls the front end together. Little price though.

^ picture reference use only..... old thread.

And if u really wanted to changed the front end, you know you have only 1 choice. 180sx kouki

Yeah, I'll have lots of goodies to sell off the hatch sorry for the sale pitch in this thread...

Pignose lip will fit, it fit on mine. it just needs some meaty zip ties:

(before coilovers)

should be easy to paint black.

I've also got this rear bumper cover, the tape was temp mounting for pic:



rear tanabe strut tower bar for sale as well.

I'm also willing to sell the 5 lug & z32 brake setup if i can have your 4 lug setup and wheels. I've got multiple sets of 5 lug wheels if you choose.

S14 seats if you want to upgrade those, front door speaker panels to fit standard aftermarket speakers,

I havent yet priced anything, so make reasonable offers if you want any of it

180sx Aero all the way around would look pretty awesome if you ask me.

But that is only if you were to ask me

Looks Good.
