that looks like some custom rigged bs. but i havent seen it before. but i only look at s14 stuff soooo. either way its beat and gross

[95zilvia]

It's a pignose bumper.

[2iv0 sx]

Pignose and K's collab...

:keke:

[SNC240SX]

When i was in Japan i saw a 180 with the vented pig nose.

[RazoE]

no, it's the same ugly ass pignose everyone has....

go chuki...

[atom]

It's nothing more than a stock K's pignose bumper. OEM son, super rare.

[mrmephistopheles]

Not from KRPS13. If anything, it's from KRS13.
just a stock CA18DET 180sx bumper.
not rare, not special.
The K means 'HICAS', not 'K's.

It's nothing more than a stock K's pignose bumper. OEM son, super rare.

Damnit, no! :rant:
Not rare.
Not K's. K's is a SILVIA trim level.
On EVERY SINGLE 180sx sold from 1988-mid 1990 in Japan.

[90KAcoupe]

i love the 180sx k's pignose front bumper!! the pignose is something that grows on you. and if done right it looks better then the chuki or silvia. just my opinion.

[RazoE]

then your opinion's wrong..:D




actualy,it's just weird, it has a "shelf" on the bumper with pop-ups, cars with pop-ups usually have a bullet shaped front, which is one of the reasons for pop-ups in the 1st place: aerodynamics...

honestly with the pignose, if it didnt have the shelf, and if the bottom didnt dip in, it'd look a little nicer...

[zugoi]

I like it. Altho yes looks like you can make it yourself with a saw zaw or something. Id use it, it already matches my car color. You wanna sell it Mdl Pinoy? or trade.

[Mdl_Pin0y]

for a second there, i thought this was some special made bumper from japan because of that vented corner which is uncommon for me.

[Mdl_Pin0y]

actually you can search on ebay. I snatched these pics from there but i don't know if it'll still be available because i might buy it. ^_^

[atom]

Damnit, no! :rant:
Not rare.
Not K's. K's is a SILVIA trim level.

:keke:

Awesome. But yeah, brain fart on the K's. Should be Type I/II.

[SochBAT]

LoL.

KRS - 1

[homegaragespl]

gotta have the pignose lip...to look decent.

Its pretty rare in the US ;)
I bet die hard pignose fans will pay for it on their SR S13s.

[crankshaft]

would the dealers still be able to order the front lip?

[C. Senor]

i just want those damn turn signals...someone find me some.

[180sExy]

i just want those damn turn signals...someone find me some.
there is someone on ebay selling them just look for them I just picked up a pair.

[C. Senor]

^going to do that right now, thanks.

[mrmephistopheles]

would the dealers still be able to order the front lip?
No. Too old/out of production.

[axiomatik]

you can get the turn signals new. some vendors here on zilvia sell them (pretty sure performance nissan does)

[pjd.]

iono i never seen it before, with the air hole on the right side, looks like it comes in handy if u have a stock sr

[M4Rl0N]

must be pretty rare, because i've never seen it before
but i think the turn signals are from japan?

[derek_s13]

wow. almost everyone in this thread is ignorant to japanese s13. (you know if you're an exception, so don't be offended.)

stock turbo 180sx bumper cover. (or 240sx cut to mock one)

turbo pignose 180sx = ca18det.

k's?? wtf?? it's a fucking 180.


mr. meph, correct me if i'm wrong but, 180sx came:
type s, type r, type x.

no k's, q's or any letters. silvias only.





homegaragespl: "die hard pignose fan would get it for SR s13"??? if they were diehard pignose fan, it'd have a CA.




SO. the vent was stock in turbocharged 180sx. NEVER on a 240sx. i suppose rare for america, but mostly cuz no one's dumb enough to pay for a bumper cover w/ a hole you can cut yourself. most swaps don't run sidemount i/c anyway. damn ppl, get on the ball.

[mrmephistopheles]

Why don't' people read the thread before commenting?
I mean... if it were 40+ pages, sure - respond without reading others' responses.
It's one page, with 25 responses (now).
Think the question might have been answered?
Is it worth looking before pulling some random speculation out of your ass?

Know what? Forget it - just keep it going. It give me more shit to laugh at.


mr. meph, correct me if i'm wrong but, 180sx came:
type s, type r, type x.

Correct. I don't believe all of those options were available until ~1994 or 1995 though.
Also, you're correct on everything else. I'm glad there are at least SOME people who read and learn instead of just speculating.

[Taniguchi_Is_#1]

so much misinformation in this thread. to reiterate mrmeph:

k = hicas
r = fastback
p = sr20
s13 = chassis



that bumper is off of an RS13 180sx. it's not that rare, every ca18det 180sx has one.

[swift_style]

mrmephistopheles explains it all!!

[mdigiamm]

homegaragespl: "die hard pignose fan would get it for SR s13"??? if they were diehard pignose fan, it'd have a CA.


or a KA :fawkd: lol

[Mdl_Pin0y]

wow...sorry for even putting this post up all. seems like people here are not really getting along :hs:

[SNC240SX]

What are you talking about this is a normal Zilvia conversation.....

[mrmephistopheles]

or a KA :fawkd: lol

Right - because KAs and pignoses are mutually exclusive. :jerkit: :jerkit:

[Mdl_Pin0y]

Oh ok, well this piece would look good with some added touch to it. also, im into pignose bumpers, they rox! ;)

[wangan_cruiser]

jdm pignose for ca18det equipped 180sx

[cdlong]

hey, thanks, we hadn't come to that conclusion yet.

[ixfxi]

hey, did you guys know that the 240sx in Japan is called the 180sx! Instead of coming with a 2.4L motor, it comes with a 1.8! Top of the line model came with a TURBO too! Serious.

I hear there are places in the US that sell the turbo motor and can do motor swaps!

January 12th, 1997

[s13poop]

rare? = nope

just slap a pignose lip on it

tell n00bs its a jdm turbo bumper

then sell it for more than its worth :keke:

case closed.. :bigok:

[180sExy]

No. Too old/out of production.
You can still get the oem front lip from Nissan. I called the other day an asked, the parts person told me it was still available but was hella expenssive though like $210 I think.

[mrmephistopheles]

That's the chuuki lip that nobody wants.

[ixfxi]

That's the chuuki lip that nobody wants.

that thing is such a piece of shit, its more of a scuff gaurd. HARDLY considered a lip.

[Mdl_Pin0y]

how rare are the pignose lips? i have mine and it came with the car when i bought it. It looks common to me. :-/

[mrmephistopheles]

Not rare. Especially not rare enough to call them rare when you're selling one and asking for over $100.
I'd never pay more than $40 for one.

[zugoi]

Or you can just goto home depot and make one out of rubber crown molding for like 5-10 bucks. OR find one on ebay or craigslist, someone is selling one now for 75 o.b.o I think hes a member here too. OR pay 198bucks for a new one on courtesy nissan.

Maybe if I increased the size of the text and made it bold...

I cant believe that ugly little thing costs so much. I had one on my old bumper and threw it out.

[derek_s13]

"what's this bumper?"

"fuck DOHC lip"







but yeah, fuck DOHC lip.

[snappy]

[mrmephistopheles]
