Don't do it. The Z front ends belong on z's not anything else.

[snwbrdr435]

The only z front that could work is a z31.

[Klodust]

The only z front that could work is a z31.

or just buy a Z31

It's defiantly different. But I don't think it looks good on a hatch. Might look better on a coupe IMO.

I considered this for about a week once. I have a 280z that is just sitting around in my driveway lol

I've been trying to sell it though

do you still have it and how much do you want for it

[Didderson]

I'd Rather Just Buy A 240z...

Definitely would rather have a 240sx and a 240z, or a 280z at that or OMG any datsun Z no wai!

[brizanden]

i would say no only cause i doubt you would be able to make it look like that red one which looks sexy as hell. If im wrong and you are a master body repair/fab guy do it cause it looks kinda like a 944 but nissan style and i love it.

do you still have it and how much do you want for it

sorry to laugh... reread the thread.

[domiballa]

ummm ugly.. with all of these front end conversions nissan enthusiasts might think they're super awesome but i wonder what every1 else in the car scene thinks im not a fan if you want a 280z front then buy a 280z same goes for every other front end conversion other than s13 silvia coupe

Well here is a picture of my car and it seems to be a kit that was made and sold in japan. As for the front end lenth and width are almost the same infact, the 280z front end is about and inch shorter then the 180/240sx also you have alot better veiw of the road ahead as the hood slops down more. I like it. right now im changing the car color and the motor is in for new bearings lol.



let me know what u think i now have a body kit being fitted and will be on when i paint it green lol yeah bright yellowish green with tons of metalic lol.

[Nomac5]

dam i wish my car still looked that mint HAHAHAH aw well soon it will have new life and color

I was going to mention yours dude, but I figured you'd find your way here.

I love the Z front end on a s13 myself. The Blue and the Red one I have seen before but that Black one is new to me. Looks great!

[Wc240]

IMO i think it flows pretty well with the body.

[TroubleBound]

Ehh it looks okay, okay FOR BEING a 280z conversion at least, which i don't think look good. I agree that it just doesn't look right, the 280z front end looks so aggressive the playful 240 as* doesn't match, its not aggressive enough, which is why it came with smoother less aggressive lines to match. And it needs lowered pretty bad. But nice car anyways i like the unique-ness.

[Nomac5]

Hi no worry's on the lowing i an droping it about an inch and a half this year. And the car will be green now,.... not sure how thats going to look though .... meh.

The car will have a full body kit this year ,and maybe big a** 50mm overfenders the make the rear look aggresive to match the zx front.

But its all up to my time and money really. I have the skirts and rea kit they just need some good hours into them so they look just right (fitment fiberglass crap) lol.

[sickassg35]

Dont do it looks like S#*t Sorry

[dc1984]

ive always thought that this particular swap looked awesome, but it has to be done right and that would either take mad skill or some cash

[livinglegend2100]

its okay. looks funky. but i could get used to it. that black one was pretty clean looking, except the wheels are a little mexi for my taste. might as well throw on some "14 daytons and airbag it...

/facepalm

[jznsx]

Nomac5.

i love ur car

[Nomac5]

thanks ill post more pics on this thread to show my progress on the build ,.. er rebuild.

[Matej]

Personally I wouldn't want this, but I know some people would love it.

[Nomac5]

yeah not feelin the red but still love it. although my green might be much worse lol ill see soon.

[ef9kiid86]

wow i like that. never have i seen that before

[TroubleBound]

I think that these conversions would look so much better if people would use the headlight covers, how come everyone skips them? It makes the whole car look much more classy, i.e.:

[breadbox]

Not easy to find in good cond or people want way to much for them, so I have heard.

I would rock this conversion. But mod the rear a bit to look right.

[kc240guy]

if this conversion was done to an s13 vert it would look like a badass roadster.

[breadbox]

Rear I think need a bit of thought30sec Photochop

[Guappone240]

I like what you did with that bumper. I think no spoiler or lip would look better then that big a** spoiler. IMO

[KC240SR]

Yea imo the silvia front end is played out because it seems like everyone does that conversion... I want something different and love that blue one with the conversion

That is probably one of the stupidest things I've ever heard, its a stock front end....therefor, it can't be played out. You might as well say any stock car is played out.
