The Kouki 180 is the best design of all...(including s14 nd s15s). Just take some time to study the genius of every line and every plane. From the front bumper that's reminiscent of the early 90s Lostus esprit turbo to the side skirts that extend from the door sil that accentuate the rear fenders(especially with the optional rear valance) I'm not a fan of wings, but the wing on the kouki is a perfect continuation of the lines form the sides skirts leading to the fender then to the wing. Then the tailights which are inspired by the Diablo VT Especially when the center panel is blacked out. A dark blue or black kouki 180 with some Blitz technospeed wheels is pure beauty.

Silvia fronts are expensive and there is not one piece of rice on his car. You must have never been to a real autocross if you've never seen a car with different rims on the front than the back. To recap, shut your mouth if all you're gonna do is ridicule someone elses stuff.


hahaha....whoa...calm down there man.

say it slowly and loudly....

GOOSE-FAR-BAH

btw...I'm just teasing ya....so don't take this post too seriously

I purchased my front turn signals from another NICO member who happened to be selling his. I like 'em very much, might I add.

Direct fit. Just unscrew and unplug the old ones and replace them with the new ones. No brainer.

Regarding function, the amber part only turns on for hazards and turning. The clear part is on whenever the headlights or parking lights are on.

No. The full-amber USDM turn signals have one bulb. The half-amber JDM turn signals have 2 bulbs that have separate functions. Despite this, the swap between USDM and JDM turn signals is direct. Simple as that.

I think that the 91-94 240s are the best looking. However, I HATE the way my coupe looks with the USDM front.....just too goofy for me. The fastback on the other hand looks awesome and if I had one I would definately get the 180sx look going. As it stands, I have to save up and get the Silvia front end conversion. Too bad looks are at the bottom of my list!

91-93 fastback is a nice piece and I wouldn't mind having one. But right now I must say that the Kouki S14 is the best looking 240SX.....

NOTE: This car does not belong to me, it belong to a owner by the name of Jay. He is located in Cali and I have no idea if he is on THIS forum.

Around $2100...my write-up has a list of all the parts needed. But I didn't use ALL of the parts (for now) :)

or you can get the parts and do it yourself... body parts arent that hard. But for the money, wouldnt you rather have some speed before you get the looks? In fact you could use the speed to make money for the looks (sleeper race with a bet).

(mines a 89 se) i mean they are so low profile and very sleek, i love the fact that when i pul up behind a civic or any sedan that my head is the same lvl as their trunk. i dont have lowering springs either, its just the fact that our cars are drop dead sexy, i love they way they look wide, i mean sure its not like crazy wide but the stance of the car makes it look like one mean mother. anyway im just rambling on, let me know what you think makes the 240 such a sexy car :D. take it easy guys.


You sound like Shingo and Nakazato when they were getting all excited about their cars in initial D haha Nice car though ;)
