radiator core support...89 swap to ?? 370z or s-14 support??

[coupe240sxguy]

Wondering if anyone has done this or had problems doing so? Going to the junkyard to do measurements. Will possibly do a write up on this.

[hatedinthemind]

You mean like change the front end to an s14?

[laxands13]

Yeah.. What do you mean by this?

[ashibah83]

any way you think, Yes it has been done before

[coupe240sxguy]

Swap out the pop ups for a more aggressive look... maybe fab up the 370z front. Just wanting a severe, aggressive look. Any suggestions on an aggressive look.

[OutToWinPAHC]

Has anyone seen a 370 in the junkyard? And do you just think its a bolt on affair after that? Please just buy a Z

[S14Kouki10]

fail.

[coupe240sxguy]

Who in their right mind would ever think its a bolt on... why would... ahh nevermind.

[coupe240sxguy]

Going to do measurements @ dealership then possibly buy parts from bodyshop... father inlaw...

[s14danny]

father inlaw? tell that a** wipe to buy you a 350z and stop playing with your emotions.

[coupe240sxguy]

Speaking of a** wipes, who is talking about a 350... hmmm wonder who feels like an a** now DANNY!! If I have ever seen anyone put their foot in their own mouth, trying to talk crap to another fellow NICO fan, u ate that sh**

[krash]

This thread sucks.

OP, it will look weird, too many curves on the 370z for it to look right on the s13. Plus, the 370z is wide, the s13 isnt. That will also make it look weird. Just to give you an idea, here's an s13 with a 350z front:



And that barely pulls it off, even with the wide fenders and the g35 rear. IMO, stick with the pop-ups, and if you must, then do a silvia front. If you're feeling extra different, then go ahead and do the kouki front. Much easier to do and do properly.

uughh this thread is full of fail lol

[hatedinthemind]

I thought this thread was about an s14 core support

that fool cant afford a 370z, so i figured 350 would be suitable.

at that point it prolly cost as much as a 350z and looks almost exactly the same only older chassis and interior.... why

[TheRealNap0le0n]

oh and FYI the 370z is like 1.5 times wider than the 240sx ATLEAST... if not 2times.

[OutToWinPAHC]

Wider yes, twice as wide no...... OP you have had some good post, but it really sounds like what you need isn't an S-Chassis.

[coupe240sxguy]

so i opted to g0 with an s-14 core..... quick easy simple.... not so easy to find 97-98 core that is not dammaged\hit. now going to get one at an auction... friend works their and other 2 friends go every day or so. support is off already, just looking for the other.

[coupe240sxguy]

bump

[Hoffman5982]

Bump for what??

[S14Kouki10]

Bump for what??

failure.

[coupe240sxguy]

no reason... just looking

[motoman399]

i have an s14 kouki core support that i might be willing to sell. how soon are you looking for one? i have one that is drilled at the spot welds all the way back to the strut towers. and its straight. the kouki front looks good on any car.

i think if you want to do the 370z front you should. it can be done if you have the fab skills but its going to be a lot of work. i would like to see someone do a different front end swap.

[sup_mario]

Thanks for this man. I think this will be very helpful in future (for future use i think) lol

l,ol are you cereal? 2x wider? so the cars 12feet wide and takes up almost 2 lanes? lolz.

its called scarcasm

[coupe240sxguy]

The swap idea to the 370 is an idea, that eventually will happen... if u think its a bad idea, great, more power to you. It's my car and I want a different look that has not been done, or caught on yet. Just want a different, more aggressive look to MY car. It's all in the name of fabrication. Will it work, maybe... maybe not. Until it is done it will be frowned upon. Why, to much time, money, or effort to be involved in it. It's my time, money, and effort to do something different for a change. Thanks for the support...
