Car: 89" 240sx coupe DE swap. =D

Post

I saw this on some japanese website, its a car that was for sale but does anyone know how they made these? I like them and they remind me of the older 300zx but it said something about using NSX headlights. do they sell a kit or is it custom? Ive never seen them before so if i have the money on hand then i might go out and start my next project! Im new here so if i posted in the wrong section then can you tell me where it should go?





thanks!

Chris

you could probably make those i guess, u just gotta be good at fabricating and stuff. just get a hood for a silvia conversion and get a z31 bumper

Me+fabricating (and stuff)= Not my thing lol Ive never attempted to fabricate anything in my life but i want to learn so i can do things like this. and a z31 bumper would bolt on? ive seen plenty of z31's in the junkyard near where i live so if it doesnt seem to hard ill give it a try!

look closely it looks like they just took out the popup lights and and changed the stock 180sx hood to the silvia hood and added a custom lights on there.

thats what it looks like to me.

The z31 bumper may work, but that's not a stock z31 bumper, my daily driver is an '86 300zx and i've definitely stared at it for long enough to know =) but hey it could work, it does look really close, good luck man i like the look of that 240 a lot.

my thought was you could probably just chop into the 240's bumpar and fiberglass that hole for the lights...and then use a silvia hood...but i dunno!

ok got ya yeah that makes sense. a lot of 7 guys do it cuz it cuts down on wind resistance and for some reason we care about that. s13 guys dont give a ****, so since im half and half im torn. i dont really like the loo of it on the 7 though so mine will both be keeping their flip ups

Bonnet is modified 180sx bonnet, bumper is also 180sx modified bumper, head lamps are indeed from an early model NSX

To me they just look like a sleepy eye mod on stock S13 bucket lights but the outer shield is removed and everything is hidden under an S14 hood, the bumper might even be stock. Too bad we can't just pop the hood lol, next time you guys visit Japan lets settle this.
