pignose/dragonnose cateyes/sharkeyes...

[lenso]

i had this conversation with my brother just yesterday and i thought it might be interesting to hear what NICO members have to say. why in the world do people give stupid names to differentiate the models of s13s and s14s? why not just say early s13 early s14 or even zenki/chouki/kouki. it just plain pisses me off when i hear pignose or cateyes. they're head lights not eyes! its a bumper not a fuggin snout!

i hope someone out there agrees with me....

[AZhitman]

Hmmmm.

Well, I hate zenki/chouki/kouki. English-only!

I actually prefer when people use the YEAR of the car.

[mattc240]

Yeah it took me forever to figure out if my car was Zenki, Kouki...Blah...Who cares

[nab911]

Well my zenki s13 lazy eye non-pignose hatchback no rag-top beast is bad ***... actualy i have no nose right now....

[lenso]

i prefer the years also, but japanese is better than pignose any day.

[whiterps13]

just say the year, and only use the lingo if you have a conversion. simple enough?

[Altiman94]

I call mine a pignose, there is no confusion over them then.

[cdlong]

because i don't know how to pronounce zenki/chouki/kouki and i feel like a jackass if i say it wrong.

i use the year for my car, but if i'm looking for parts i use the general terms because it usually doesn't matter.

[Mameluke]

my car has no front end on it at the moment either

'91 fastback

[Axel Grungy]

its not that complicated, just read a little bit

[TurboTuli]

pignose pwns you.

[silkk]

you forgot strawberry face!

[wangless]

lol

pignose does rule ... just need a damn lip !

[w1ngzer0]

i call mine a covered pignose

[MainEvent212]

isnt it chuki? heh

[Onizuka]

I just point and grunt.

[BB Turbo]

I go by the codes (HS13, RMS13, blah, blah) As for S14's, zenki and kouki do it for me.

Also, being we only got 2 different major changes in the USDM S13's, wouldnt it be zenki (89-90) and kouki (91-94)?and no chouki/chuuki (w/e)?

[AZhitman]

What's mine?

So I can be JDM tyte, y0!

[Altiman94]

kouki

[AZhitman]

A kouki droptop?

Okey dokey.

[SeVa-S13]

Wrong.

Yours is "chuki." We never got the "Koukis."

I've always told people to just mention the year and then everyone will freaking know exactly what it looks like and what engine it has.

[driftaholic]

chuuki

and terms like zenki/chuuki/kouki and pignose are good cuz they include multiple years.

example of how this is good:"will a '91 bumper fit on a '93?" valid question.or "will a chuuki bumper fit a on a chuuki?" now a silly question.

[AZhitman]

Altiman's trying to get me beat up by a bunch of midget ricers.

Chuki droptop in tha heezy, y0!

p.s. SeVa, as I said above, i prefer to use the year as well.

[xekushnr]

im pretty sure i have a 240sx.
