Very nice. If I had a 180 id be down for a kit. I saw you guys have a kit for kouki's, no s14 zenki love?

i would be interested in it for sure.:rawk: ive seen the kits they sell on ebay and they look pretty smooth. its about time someone decided to bring this aero to the u.s. market like how origin has theres. :kiss: now my only question is what are the prices individually? (i.e. side skirts or rear valance)

weei2
05-13-2006, 12:57 AM
- Nizzan4u2nv: actually thats not the case...first of all, im a good friend of the owner of Shine project....and from what ken had told me, its not that they dont have zenki love..lol...but its because they had been pushing their kits mainly for the FDs and the 86es therefore, they have not made many 240sx kits...
now, im trying to help them to jump on the 240sx community hence broadens their market in selling their high quality kits. Trust me, their kit is the Shiz...what ever you call it. in a good way.... =P

come on ppl, show some hands so we can get them made...we are tring to see interests before we actually have the kit made.....

this kit will be copied exactly from the OEM parts, therefore, it will be just like the OEM kit.

- oneighty: i think the price for the front bumper is $325 abd the side skirts $325 and the rear valences $250...i still gota confirm it with ken...not very sure, but this will be a guesstimate.

Tell them to make a S13 Silvia Aero bumper and sides if the quality is as good as it appears to be that would be awesome. looks good!

05-13-2006, 01:28 AM
- CHARLIE2020: i think that someone already made the copy of S13 silvia aero bumper , i have seen them on ebay before...therefore, there is no point of making another one if they sell it cheaper than us.

and as far as the AERO sideskirts, it would be good, but im thinking that it would be later down the line....

right now, our focus is to try to push this kit for the S13 hatches..because so far, IMO, there is no body in the US who has made the copy of this kouki kit...and now that we have the complete set, we want to be the first to have it available to all of you.

- Pank: What kind of S14 Rear bumper, can you specify?

Well that might be true but usually ebay stuff is crap it be nice to see it be done in good quality although I haven't seen the ebay Areo myself im willing to bet its not as good or flexible like the example you've shown and the fitment looks good on the Z33

Are they just gonna straight up copy it (with molded lip/side piece)? I mean I'm not going to get into this whole to copy or not copy aero argument, but a lot of these US companies that produce "affordable" aero do have talent and I wish they could make something unique with their skills, ability, and resources. Are they gonna tweak it at all?

Take Hotroad for example, its kouki inspired but I wouldn't call it a copy, know what I mean?

On a side note, BMagic already made a copy of the Kouki 180sx front (with 89-90 bumper lights) but for some reason it never really got popular for some reason.

There are plenty kouki inspired kits. I think people go nuts for the OEM fitment though. Thats gonna be the main focus here.

I would totally be down with a front bumper, if I had one request, it would be to delete the liscene plate spot on the bumper, and make it smooth. if someone wants to install a plate, thats fine, they can put in a braket. but for those of us front plate-less, it would look better without.

Hoping for individual prices too! I already have the front bumper...I dont know if its a good thing since you guys are domestically available...Damn! Could've been sooner. Need skirts and maybe rear! Make it happen please!

weei2
05-13-2006, 06:32 PM
PS: im not the owner or worker there, im just a friend of the owner. and trying to make this kit happen. so if you have any new ideas, i cant make the decision, but all i can do is talk and consult it with ken (owner of shine).

ok, to answer all of your questions:

- CHARLIE2020: i think that cartune/ c-tune or something like that...they used to sell the fiberglassed S13 silvia aero bumper on eBay....back then, it was located in nevada i think...but as far a copying that, i will have to talk to ken (shine project owner) and see what his stand point is...as long as its gonna be a popular sell, im sure he will be down for it. in other words, we dont want to make something that onle a couple people buying...we want something that will be a popular sell, just because making the mold and the process, etc..is very expensive.

- Logan fomr A-Spec: as far as copying the kit, it will be pretty much exact, as in the front bumper molded with the lip and side pieces and same with the sideskirts will be molded, but the rear will stay in 3 pieces. there wont be any "tweaking" , but the only thing that they may do prolly license plate frame elimination..not too sure, still gotta talk to ken, but i think if its only small things im pretty sure that they can do a little tweaking.
and the B-magic bumper kouki replica, to me, it looks like it was copied off the Uras kit. believe me, uras made the kouki replica too, witht the zenki tunsignals. i have seen the bumper, and IMHO, it doesnt look good at all, and it sits too high. and another thing is that buying kits from B-Magic is like mickey mouse thing. sometimes you get a good one, sometimes you get the very shitty fitment. but at Shine Project, they make sure that each and every kit is made according to the order. and as you can see from the pics, their fitment is very nice. No "mickey mouse" deal here.

- KwKouki: exactly, many people wat to have the OEM look, kind of clean, not so bizzare style.

- S13 silvia girl: hehe...i think in japan, you prolly can find them cheaper, but in the states, it gets expensive, basically shipping charge, and all that..
if you get lucky, you may get it cheap, but thats if youre lucky. =D

- 2iv0 Sx: that may happen according to the pepular demand. so it may come later down the line. not soon though...they actually are very busy right now, as they have many other new projects thats happening right now. and even to make this kouki kit happen, its still on the waiting list. trust me, they are very busy.

- i8yourfwd: individual pricing will be: FB $325 SS$325 R-addon $250

-rest of the ppl: yep, the more interests (demands), the faster this project will go into production. as far as eliminating the license plate holder, i will have to talk to ken and have him make the decision.

thank you all! please show more hands! we need more buyer.

make an option where you can keep it or not because for those of us who want to run a plate on the front.

Then install one of those plate holder thingies, or put it to the side like I plan on doing if this happens. looks better than that mount thing imho.

RiceEata
05-13-2006, 09:57 PM
definetly tell them not to change the look of the front bumper, but at least make the front lip optional. If there's a license plate holder that looks OEM then delete the license plate spot.

If shops would stock badass JDM aero, i would say this but...if they wanted to make money they should make 180sx, rx-7 sexy style intercepter and s14 works9 replica's (BTW, their s14 kouki type 1 and 2 bumper is kind of affordable 20,800-24,000 yen, imo type 2 looks sick, somebody should start stocking those...but their f-magic kits (similar to shineauto's flexable FPR) would end up costing too much after shipping, customs taxes, and all that stuff)

If i was them i would make a sexy style 180sx bumper with s13 zenki turn sigs (kouki parking lights cost $120-150, screw that) and maybe make the top section of the front bumper like DRFT and origin streamline...That would be SIIIIICK! Guarrentte that would sell...DO IT!!! Fuck the kouki bumper, hahaha

Koguchi's car has an OEM bumper with molded vent, you can kind of see the line inbetween the front bumper and side piece. I remember reading that dousan pg seen it in person and said its oem.

kognition
05-13-2006, 11:27 PM
Word.
Nobody here in the states has talent anymore, no passion for design. Just copycats trying to keep up with last years designs hoping to pick up the slack. Anybody can make a mold from an original part and pump some urethane thru it and call it a part.

Are they just gonna straight up copy it (with molded lip/side piece)? I mean I'm not going to get into this whole to copy or not copy aero argument, but a lot of these US companies that produce "affordable" aero do have talent and I wish they could make something unique with their skills, ability, and resources.

05-13-2006, 11:36 PM
ok...as far as making other kits, we will do that..but later. at this time i really want to see the people's hands of who want to have this production of the kouki kit going, in other words, i want to see:

please post and answer these questions:
- are you interested?
- if this happens, which part will you buy? FBonly/SSonly/R-addons only? or the whole kit?
- would you like to have the plate holder removed or not?
- any concerns regarding the kit?

please post ONLY regarding this kit. not S14 kits and so on...im trying to get the interests of this kit ONLY.

- RiceEata: YES, koguchi's FB is actually OEM. i have see it in person too. he only had the front air vent molded on there.

Thank You. have a nice day.

Nahhhh man can't copy the Works9 bumper, that defeats its awesomeness

Actually yea Riceeata I think you are right...if that is the same red 180 that had 5Zigen Typhoons at some point (the one at OG drift showoff) then yeah I think I remember seeing in person....on that car it does look OEM with that universal middle vent, but I think one of his 180's ran Hotroad at some point.

I do believe he had a black one with a Hotroad kit. I remember seeing pictures of it on another forum.

As for the original topic, I'd be interested in the front bumper w/plate holder as long as it has the side pieces and lip molded on.

I would definatly buy the one piece sides, dependent upon fitment.

And would also be interested in the front bumper, only if the licence plate location was shaved or replaced with a scoop/vent like koguchi's bumper. And of course dependent on fitment again....OE quality/fitment.:bigok:

Hotroad. That was the jiggity-jam b/c it wasn't a copy, it was flared a lot more than OEM kouki and it was a lot lower, too. And of course the center vent.

SoSideways
05-15-2006, 12:50 PM
I'd throw another vote in for a OEM style bumper but without the liscence plate flat spot in the middle, but has a group A style vent right there.

Lindsay - dude, I know it's 2002, actually it's more like 2000, but damn, I finally got a hold of another 180sx/Silvia Super Tuning video (someone jacked that shit from me, and nobody can find it in the US anymore, had to pay $50 for it from Taka Kaira, gfg), and that red 180 on there fucking pwn3d me right in the face. From that point on, I can't think of anything else other than that car, which was straight up kouki 180 with full OEM aero. So hot.

ManoNegra
05-15-2006, 12:51 PM

No license plate holder for me.
Would much rather have a hot road front bumper if possible.
Anyone that has seen the Option Silvia/180 special know what bumper Koguchi had on his car? That shit was hot, never seen anyone that comes close.

edit: SoSideways - you posted right as I was typing... lol. I've seen that video a countless number of times and haven't gotten tired of it. That red kouki is a wetdream on wheels.

Yeah dude, my ritual was that I'd watch that full vid once a month, sometimes two.

But then someone stole it and I couldn't find anyone that carried it, and the last resort was to buy it directly from Japan. $50 later I have my vid again.

And dude, watching that vid again, I finally figured out where my taste for 180sx/Silvias came from hahaha. The 3 finger gap for sleepy eye thing was from that video (I used the 3 finger gap without knowing why for the longest time, then I saw the Stink guy do that on his red kouki 180 and I was like OOOOOOOH DIP!!).

17/18 TE37 ftw, oh, and tucking rear rim too. I'm gonna do it, I'm gonna do it.

I wouldn't be too hopeful of that.

The VHS is out of print from what I was told. There are still shops and bookstores and stuff over in Japan that has left over stock, but other than that, you can't really find that video anywhere anymore.

I rented mine from a JDM video store that doesn't exist anymore. This was years ago. VHS -> Transcoder -> Computer -> VideoCD. Have a few copies made just in case. I would buy it on DVD if it ever came out. What do you think, should I upload it to youtube?

I'd be intrested, i'd buy the front and sides as i have the rear valance. I'd vote for the plate area because we are trying to be close to oem right? Also here we need to show front plates and that area would be nice to mount it. If there were no plate area, i'd like it to be shaved, no vents or like the sort.

Talking about the Option2 vol. 34 video, called the 180sx/Silvia Super Tuning video.

It's all about the SR20DET and the S-chassis.

Starts off with Koyama san from JUN talking about his top speed S13, drag S14, and Tsukuba special S15, then the video goes to Taniguchi taking his S13 Q's to Yashio Factory to have Oka-chan build him a S13 that will beat Koguchi's World Sport (the black one) 180sx.

It's a hot vid, but yeah, I need to pick up some of the older Options vids too, VCD or DVD if I can find them, but best bet is probably VHS.

Hey JSpec.com 2001 called and they want their bumper back. Sam had pics of the Top Secret stuff and everyone was asking about that sweet g-ride. But you know... then everyone realised it was wicked ugly and they went and bought Vertex, etc. God that Top Secret bumper (whole car) is ugly. Ugh.

Hard to obtain? Yeah because its been filed away in 180sx history as a blunder and no one lies to talk about it! LOL.

why does everyone hate on the plate up front?!??!?! it seems so logical to have one since it comes on the oem bumper and actually gives you a place to put instead of finding the perfect place to put it.

They hate, because from an esthetic point of view it messes with the lines of the front end. It totally disrupts the flow of the bumper line.

Yes! This is exactly the kind of bumper I would buy in a heartbeat. You have a sizeable vent for the extra cooling that the RB guys need (RBs run really hot) and if you just throw a couple of brackets in the opening you can mount a front license plate no problem. This option has the best of both worlds.

So... Hotroad style?

Fuck yea, i think that looks rad. its different from a straight OEM copy, so its got a bit more taste to it! I like. Plus, you can still put the license plate on the 2 vertical "bars" of the front vent if you want. My Hotroad bumper even came with recessed threaded inserts to screw the license plate bolts into. :thumbup:

weei2
05-20-2006, 12:16 PM
ok...actually we are gonna be making the exact saame bumper like the one pictured (koguchi's red falken car). it will have the front vent.

i discused about the fact that some people want the clean bumper without the vent and license plate holder, but ken said if he makes that, the people who wants the bumper with the vent will have to buy the vent separately which will cost about $140 and plus the additional body work.

so, we decided to make the one with the vent because if you dont want to have the vent, you can jut eliminate it yourself. it is very easy to just cut it out and mold it with fiberglass. it is better for everybody.

and as far as the pricing, actually the price confirmed will be:

FB $350
SS $ 250
R-add ons $250

and our plan is to make the front bumper first. if there is many demand later to make the side skirts, we will proceed to make it.

than you

I will probably be buying one regardless, but I would strongly prefer molding the bumper smooth, and offering the vent as a seperate option. I am sure there are people that would retrofit the vent into other bumpers, and it is alot easier to cut a hole (especially if it is marked out on the back of the bumper?) than it is to fill a hole, especially since shine auto has that sweet twistable material. my $.02, I'll be buying one if I stay with an S13 simply for the material and build quality I have seen from the shine auto guys on other stuff.

it will be in production in the beginning of june....

and about the vent / no vent, we decided to just make it with the vent, since most of the guys here runs turbo, hence better airflow. and we want to make ours kind of stylish, more stand out than any other kit makers here in the US, if it doesnt have anyhting, it will look just like stock, plain, which we dont want it to be.

i will keep you guys updated though

consider this.

Cut a hole in the front plate mount for venting, but enough to mount a plate if needed. I agree about it being easier to cut a hole than seal one. Most of us could vent it with a dremel. I like my plate vent idea though, something to consider.

the side skirts sound like a good deal.

Completely agree with the other guy about having guys just cut out their own vents. If the vents had to be seals with fiberglass will it retain its flexiblity? The bumper sounds pretty good for the Turbo guys, but for the N/A guys they'll just have a big gapping hole in the middle of their bumpers....:hahano: :rl:

you guys might also want to look into DESIGNING a rear valence piece for the coupe guys. Possibly something simple and somethat that flows well with the X-kit. :hyper:

+1 keep it smooth it's easier to cut the bumper than to try and fiberglass over the vent and get the curvature right and what not.

IMHO, the kouki side skirts look like someone put a belt around the middle of the car and cinched. I much prefer the look of the chouki side skirts and no they do not make the car look fat,like your implieing. You should should look at some factory chouki side skirts they are quite tasty.

How about keeping the front bumper as OEM as possible. Most of us agree that the OEM 180sx kouki bumper w/ lip looks really nice. Now how about making it better. Making it unique so it doesn't look like other aftermarket kits out there. I say shave the license plate holder. Keep the lip and side extensions and bumper one-piece. Dont make the lip any lower or fatter. Some will say, "it will look like an OEM kit then, how is that unique?". Then go compare how many people have huge aero to people with an OEM kit. What is more unique now?

Doing this will give you an OEM bumper copy without the ugly license plate holder or having to source an overpriced OEM lip to go with your kouki bumper. And the fitment, amazing. Now to work on a lower complete package price... Just my opinion.

Have an ETA on this? I have a fiberglass kit and am not happy with it. I want something more durable.

bad decision, IMO...they should of shaved it. How are you gonna mount the vent?
it'll look stupid with the lisence plate holder molded on there.

been thinking about it and i'm probably wrong. It shouldn't be to hard to mold in the vent. you just have to cut off the whole lisence plate and fiberglass the vent on the inside, then bondo the outside.

should turn out something like this, doesn't look to bad with a license plate on, if the holes for the license plate was higher it might be better...

without the whole license plate holder cut off...

WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY! It cost around the same as the jdm bumper. If people wanted the plate area they can just get the original. Do they have any plans to make it with the plate area shaved?

thats not true, the lips the most expensive part, it cost more then the bumper, check mynismo.com
but i agree they should of shaved it, more options might of equaled more sales... slaved, install a plate holder, vent, lip, no lip, sell lips

i...the last time i talked to them, they said that theyre trying to line it up..its kind of hard lining it up (the sidepieces and the lip to the bumper, althought they have all the brackets and the bolts/screws)

they want it to come out really good, so theyre taking their time..and especially the mold is one of the main parts of the production, they want it to bethe best. bad mold = bad replicas.

i know its taking soo long already :( but oh well, as long as it come out good.

thanks, ill keep you guys updated.

hmm...im actually not a representative of shine auto project, im just a friend of the owner. the J-blood replica kit, what car is it for? they already have one full kit for AE86. i dont think they make J-blood replica for other cars such as 240s though. :(

the kit had already been released from my understanding.. seems like great material! front bumper looks really nice but i'm not too fond of sideskirt vent (i'm pretty sure that can be closed off.. and the rear bumper.. (little too big for my taste) one thing i did not see on the front bumper is the channel for that factory stripe that runs along an entire car? other then that A+++ for the material used! and yeah FD parts are looking INSANE!!! if you dont mind me asking, who's the manufacturer of these pieces for shine?

i dont have any pics, didnt save them on my comp.. shine doesnt have an auction listed on their website for the 180sx kit right now.. they did just couple of days ago.. i tried looking it under completed items but no luck.. it looks very much similar to that of andy's blood line but with a smaller front opening (well its not as high as andy's, thats fibercrack btw) other then that its pretty similar.. the pics they had up on ebay where high rez and shows the kit mounted on a fastback while at a body shop.. fitment looks awesome and flexibility of the kit is unbelieveable! definitely an A+ of materials.. the rear bumper isnt too crazy like vertex and such but still too much for my taste.. and as i've mentioed before the side skirts have an opening other then that they look great if you ask me, front bumper does not have the channel for the factory stripe if i'm not mistaken.. unless i'm blind.. regardless material alone from what this is made makes it all worth it if you guys ask me comparing to FIBERCRACK!

how the fuck does vertex have a crazy rear bumper?? Why the fuck would anyone want the damn stripe for that shitty ass tape line on the car. AFAIK, people don't want that stripe. Most forms of aero don't conform to allow that tape stripe. I think its better it stays that way.

its not oem, since its fiberglass, but it was produced in japan, and has awesome fitment, I use my stock top clips, and inner pignose foam, fits like a charm. Its a 1 peice whole thing, One of my buddys is working for a Aero Place, and can copy it, I just have to get enough info on how much it will cost. etc. etc.
