are there any aftermarket taillights made for the 240sx coupe and if there is where can i find them? I was also thinking of putting the R32 taillights in my car, how much would this cost?

Try a 240sx general forum. Coupes are nice as they are in my opinion.

damn phoniex your actually thinking of aftermarket taillights, thats pretty sad and hella ricey. I dont think you should own a 240sx. 240sx's are not hondas, please dont go and buy euro lights for your 240sx if you do you will just start a new trend for youngsters that have no idea what there doing with nissans. Jesus christ, Why Why Why.

don't worry about him. some people on this site don't think before they speak.

I really don't know how many aftermarket rear lights there are for the 240. I have yet to see crazy clear plastic/chrome plastic seizure lights for the 240, but only time will tell.

LoL, ohh i though before i spoke and thats what i came up with, i sure he wants the chromeplatic/ altezza lights. Just take the taillights off your honda, a little frabrication and im sure you'll get them in.

if you have a hatch, there are some JDM lights you can put on it, x-style or something, i seen some one a white 240 at a nissan meet, they looked really really nice, otherwise, there are none except the clearcorners.com ones, and home made one-off's on ebay and junk, if you got a coupe, im thinking your out of luck

sidewayz stfu dude, there are non ricey tail lights out there such as swaping stock lights for 180sx light which look way better then then stock and are not "chromplastic/altezzalights". Dude you really do need to think befor you speak.

the jdm 180xs tails are some of the nicest looking tail lights i have ever seen on any car. ive seen the r32's as well for the coupe, probably the only thing i can think of for an s13 coupe off the top of my head, im sure either would go excellent with your aluminum wing ; ) j/k

I Hope they come out with altezzas, so I can get them to piss off everyone.

but i also have these.

As for the coupe my friend, I think you might be out of luck. Get an extra set of tail lights and experiement.break the seal around it with a heat gun and take out the amber part (just thinking off of my head).

:owned

by himself :rolleyes

you sound like a huge ricer dude...and more or less, just an idiot. He specifically asked if R32 tails would fit on his coupe and if there are AFTERMARKET tails. That is not rice, IMO, i thinkt he R32 tails look great on the coupe. And also, it's cool that he wants his ride to stand out from the masses of non-modified, daily driving, pizza delivery 240sx's he never said altezzas, or clear tails!!!!

so i'm gonna definately go w/ you being an "amateur" and say, SHUT THE HELL UP UNLESS YOU HAVE REAL INPUT TO THE THREAD

now to jump back on topic, the R32 tails CAN go on, but it's not the kinda swap that will take 20 minutes in your garage. i reccomend having a body shop do it, it shouldnt be TOO hard for them, so it shouldnt be TOO pricey, but definately not a dollar store mod.

Dude. what are you talking about? There are NO ricers that buy the 240 cuz the magazines tell them to so they can be mad JDM tyte and phat "drifterz." Anyone with a name implying that they "drift" and use a "z" instead of an "s" have to be smart, they just have to know more than us.

I, for one, would like to thank "Sidewayz" for bestowing his absolutely non-hypocritical opinon on us, and just for his mere presence here on the boards. NICO is better for it, and it definitely needs more people like him. :rolleyes

um...i thought pheonix started this thread? i could be wrong tho, it may have been sidewayzzzzzz.

i was only commenting on the 180sx tails because they look so nice. i saw he had a coupe by reading his profile, which is why i said 'that is all i can think of for a coupe'.

but anyway, good luck with your car pheonix, maybe just sit on the idea of new tails after you think about what else you plan on doing to the car, and see how they will fit in. you may decide you dont want them and would rather not draw added attention to the rear of the car. so far i have decided against 98 tails on my 95, and getting a sun roof installed. there are some very nice looking s13 coupe pics around online, they may also provide inspiration.

thanks for posting, im definetly not a ricer and i was just wondering about the R32 taillights and i wasnt looking for altezza lights or anything like that. I guess my real question would be how much would it cost to get the R32s on my car? o yea and sidewayzzzz SHUT THE HELL UP

SeVa-S13 you are right, 240s are definetly not ricer cars. I wish people like sidewayz would realize that.

actually my car is mega JDM rice.

R32 lights only require minimal bodywork compared to other tailight swaps you see. Look good on the coupe too i think.

yeah i really like the look of the clearcorners.com stuff, but very pricey... look at it this way though, you prolly will be one of the only few who could afford them!

I see a yellow coupe around here with some interesting taillights. At a glance it looks like the R32 tails, but Im pretty sure they're not. I think the guy custom made his own. I looks like he pulled the old taillights and fitted a panel in their place and just mounted 2 round lights in this new panel. Bingo, R32 style tails without cutting into your car. Not the most beautiful setup but definitely cheaper!

everyone has something against altezzas... and the thing is they dont make them for the 240 (not yet). So I dont see where people should bash a guy for tryin to look for upgrades.

The Skyline 4 door and 2 door both have different tail lights.
