Save the Zenki's, early model owners check in.

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 correction, just a continuation.

This is for USDM models.

1989-1990 240SXS13 chassisAlso known as pignose, or Zenki S13

1991-1994 240SXS13 ChassisAlso known as Chuki, sharknose, overbite, or Kouki S13

1995-1996 1/2 240SXS14 ChassisAlso known as Zenki S14

1996 1/2 240SXS14 chassisAlso known as Kouki S14, or S14a

Regarding the font choice, I would prefer something Calligraphic. Like the third one you posted, but slightly less italicized.

Bad WC, GTFO.

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.

you know i'm right i'm not a fan of zenki s13s, s14 zenkis are alright. its fine by me if someone is proud of what they have. but to say that zenkis shouldnt be converted or that i shoudl have bought a chuki instead is kinda dumb. i know what i want my car to look like, but i happened to find a near flawless shell that was zenki, so i figured a bumper change is no big deal. besides, it'll be type x eventually anyways

i like my zenki but deep down inside i want a kouki

Hahahaha, Had I stumbled upon a chuki as clean as your hatch, Id have been all over that. Sooner or later it would have ended up a pig though. I just prefer the edgier looks. Im an 80s styling kind of guy thats all. I have no problem with a conversion here and there, as long as they are done well.

[White Comet]

i hear ya. i dont want to put my type x aero on til the car gets painted. so until that happens im getting a chuki bumper for a good deal, which i might also run in the winter months

[240lookis]

thank you. ya i painted it... myself. i think it turned out pretty good.

Zenki FTW

not to thread jack but Im curious what size tires are those on your wheels. i have the same set and im trying to figure out if i can work with 225 45 17

[cavepiggy623]

zenki lovein for stickers as well

[s14brennen]

Zenkis can look aggressive but that was before it got dropped

[impact240sx]

My girlfriend just got a s14 zenki, its an auto and red wit 115k miles, and it is soooooooooo mint, in and out. I'll post pics up when its not dark and not snowing.

[impact240sx]

Hey s14Brennen, how'd you get that enjuku slideshow in your sig? Cuz Enjuku OWNS ALL!

[Salem240]

Front = 225/45/17 YokohamaRear = 235/45/17 YokohamaI wanted to go 235&245 but was afraid of the "moon trooper" look, it would be better if I had coilovers.

[Fancy_Footwork]

At least I know I'm not alone. For some reason people just can't appreciate the Zenkis. I searched forever to try and find a somewhat stock s14 Zenki. I don't care what happens to the economy ill sell the DD before I would my Zenki.

Much love for the piggies too.

whut up whut up keeping them going

[ilovesideways]

thank you. ya i painted it... myself. i think it turned out pretty good.

Looks like it turned out good. Did you post any pictures in another post somewhere? If not you should start a new thread

[Hcraig13]

the funny thing is when i see a kouki in a picture i like it better but seeing them in person i always like zenki's better. dont know why.

[trini tuner]

^X2 me too so wierd. ive had a kouki and a zenki the zenki flows better but the kouki looks mean and has that baller factor. but i love them both.

[BrianHarte]

[ilovesideways]

[BrianHarte]

no way jose.I would NEVER own a zenki s13.

[Ilvemynissan]

Why did your first post say 'RIP' Brian? sell it or crash it?

[mychalous]

[SILVIAJayS]
