we just cant get enough of nico

[Pento240sx]

Welcome to Nico.To tell you the truth I don't really like the S15 front on the S14. I think that it is a waste of money to do this instead of just buying the stock front and redoing it. I check and you are spending $2986 dollars on just the S15 front when you could spend half or less on just the stock kouki front and the other cash could be use for some suspension and mods. If you have the money than, whatever rocks your boat. That is just my .02 cents.

BTW OP: I think that the Kouki look sexier than the Silvia front.

Yeah, on S14.5 conversions, some of them the body lines don't match up. However, if done right, they're a masterpiece in my opinion. Also, my brother already has a '98 Kouki. Haha! I just hope it turns out well.

haha! Nope. The 240sx pics were taken at a local Nissan Performance Shop where I purchased it from. Nice catch though.

[Elbowblk]

im sure after you sell some kouki front end parts you'll get that front bumper in no time.

[ProudNissanFreak]

Ah! Gotcha.

[Anime_TuneR]

Not exactly. haha! The only Kouki parts I can sell is a passenger side USDM foglight, side marker, and turn signal. And all thats left is a totaled OE metal hood and driver's side fender is no longer good to use.

Welcome to the cul....club.

[Dattebayo]

Whoa, check the enthusiasm!

...and thanks for posting ALL of the part pics...

I'm not sure I could've lived without seeing all of them.

Oh yeah, welcome.

Haha! Pain to upload all the pictures from photobucket, but I guess worth it. No point at looking at a page with all text and no pics. Thanks for the welcome

I think a kouki front would be cooler, but that's just me. :PWelcome to Nico!We don't call it Nico-tine for nothing.

I can't see myself with the same front end as my bros car though. Haha. Good joke btw.

Moved to 240SX Gen Chat.

Welcome to Nico! Good looking car you got there.If I were you, I'd reconsider blowing over 2k just in a strawberry face... but to each his own. Can't wait to see this thing all together!

Thanks. I've thought about the Kouki front or the S15 front for a few months now, and ultimately I've chosen the S15 because of its rarity in the crowd. Haha! I'm sure the Kouki crowd will make up for my decision though.

[Philipio]

I want your front right fender so bad. The paint on mine is a respray and slightly off.

Oo. Sorry mate, that was the shop owner's fender he just placed there for the time being.

[Anime_TuneR]

UPDATE: I ordered all the parts yesterday: fenders, core support, headlights, hood hinges, headlight brackets, CF hood. I'm going to have some big packages coming in the next 2 weeks now

Man, I was hoping to come across some S14.5 owners through this thread.build.

Haha! True, I'll just have to see if I can get it close to looking like that S15 though.
