Look on the bright side, when people do a front end conversion they help out the true zenki fans who need front end parts if they have been in an accident.Zenki, Represent

I could use a driver side fender, MAACO filled in the body line. Oh yeah a painted hood also.

Zenki FTMFW. Period. any zenki that has a kouki conversion is a disgrace to zenkis everywhere, owners of these cars should be ashamed of themselves if they converted zenki beauty into kouki muck, or should be seeking a retrofit back to their proper zenki form. Also is Blue Emerald Pearl, Paint Code FN2, A Limited Edition Color?I Want Those Save The Zenki Stickers as well!1995 S14 240SX SE - Blue Emerald Pearl

Bought my 95 in 2000. Eight years later, I still love it. 167,000 miles and still strong. Front end collision in 2003 ... added CF hood, rims, springs, H+R spacers, drilled/ dimpled rotors and steel braided lines. I still wish for a body kit, but even w/o it's still my favorite USDM style. Still workin' it.

For S13s I prefer the Zenki by far. As for the S14 its a toss up, the Kouki front end is more aggressive, but I think the Zenki front end flows with the rest of the car better.

Personally I like the Kanji even if it doesn't come into a direct translation, but then again I also like to be able to read it too. I like 6 and i guess 1 and 2.

Download a Japanese font list and you can directly copy it.

welcome "NeedFaster240"

from what I have gathered on the intraweb....zenki = japanese for "preceding model" or early modelpignose = what our front bumpers look like on S13 Zenkiskouki = late model...

there are S13 and S14 Zenkis and koukis. use the search button and youll see the differences... all the cars on this post (should be) Zenki only... IE: my 1990 Zenki S13, pictured above... if your front bumper looks different, its kouki.

Anyone, please correct me.

No way man I want some glass German headlights. Those were painted like that when I got the car, and I just have a hard time scraping up nearly $500 for some headlights. I'd buy a Zenki over a Cooky anyday.

i actually do prefer the zenki S14 the S13 is a toss up but definitely prefer the S14 Zenki, i personally think it has a better flow and its in my opinion the best looking 240/Silvia made save for the S15 Spec R Aero which will always hold on to the number one in my heart
