where do I get one?

[Full-Lock]

there is no 'kit'
it has to be fabricated
you have to use 240z parts and fab them to fit the s13

[Ikant]

I think you can get it from the same place you buy unicorns.

[9DSX_DRVR]

Alright here is another pic. and the first one.

If you look at them closely, right behind the lights and the spoiler. they are exactly alike. so they have to be kits. If it was fabricated they would be different.

[KwKouki]

or its the same car just in different paint. how hard is that to comprehend?

[C. Senor]

thats kinda eh...i like the z front but why mess with the 180 front...already sexy...but yeah get a z and cut the front off and weld stuff on.

[Quigs]

or its the same car just in different paint. how hard is that to comprehend?

Haha. Ouch.

[onlyoneface]

i like it damn sexy to me

[revat619]

It was a kit that has since been discontinued. If you wanna do it now, you have to fabricate it.

It could be done right and look bad ass, but imo, those 2 cars are lame.

[Bushido]

^ +1 yep, zg overfender, neg offset rollers, and 240z no duct airdam and it would look cool. every car ive seen with this conversion looks like ass

[gorgasm]

barf
msggggg

[DUDEIDONTHAVEA240]

looks to me like Z hood (thats been cut to fit the buckets) , 240sx fenders (ends cut for the buckets ), and stock z headlight buckets
i have a z hood and left headlight bucket, pm me and shoot me an offer if your serious

[bardabe]

IMO it looks cool, just not something I;d do to each theri own. I say either go get a good welder and start cutting and welding shit. or eh alot of fiberglass and bondo that will crackin a few months.

['90RPS13]

old news. welcome to 2001-02. fab it up. do it right too.

[mrmephistopheles]

it was a kit and cost either 4000 or 7000 bucks. I can't remember.
I've only seen it on one car since we've been here.

[jspecusa]

the kit is still available just cost more then 4k.
the front end of a z is too long on a s chasis, it's one of the reason why I don't like S2000.
classic should stay on a classic.
here's our friend's site for the s30 demon Z.

[Jon Michael]

You're friend needs to get more scanlations up...it's been MONTHS. I need my WM fix, I already finished Over Rev! and I can't find any SS.

[jspecusa]

they are doing all the work for free and on their own spare time.
college students are poor and they work part time so it'll take awhile.

[ranger240]

or its the same car just in different paint. how hard is that to comprehend?

you forgot different wheels, interior, front marker lights.. and location, but hey its possible, just a bit hard to comprehend
think before you insult or you might just look stupid

[RPS13FREAK]

Scanned it from the WORK Wheels 2005 Catalog.

[KwKouki]

yea because all those items you mentioned are set in stone.

I wasnt being insulting I was making a statement. If I wanted to insult I would have done the typical zilvia "omg you suck ftl you noob get better offsets"

[tougejunkie]

I think you can get it from the same place you buy unicorns.

oh and dont forget everything superjdmtyteyo for cheap
*cough*japan*cough* man, i hate that place... not really..:bow:

[9DSX_DRVR]

Alright explain this one. They added the flair later or cut it out before the paint job?

http://i86.photobucket.com/albums/k83/tonyelkin1/200z1.jpg

Thanks for all the input guys. $4000 would be rediculous for me. So if I decide I want to do it. I would have to do it my self it sounds like

[myriad]

Looks kind of like a Porsche. Maybe a goofy 928, 550, or a 968

[Edgar]

i dont know how i feel about this

[exitspeed]

Somore...it's interesting. But it's worth having in my photo collection. This is the company that made the kit I believe and it's like $8000 IIRC.

[revat619]

it looks stupid because every car with this kit is trying to mix modern styling with classic styling. You cant do that. You've got to keep it old school in order for it to come out nice.

If that red car took off that stupid wing, got some zg flares and rocked some bad ass sized watanabes or something, it would look a hell of a lot better. Keep it old school

[arkive43]

i agree with revat you cant really mix era's......plus id kill some one if they choped up a z to put it on there hatch fuk dat. the z front belongs on a z peroid.

ps i own a 240z.

:aw: :aw: :aw:


for real.

[zackt69]

front is too long... looks awkward

[wannabe_drifter]

I don't think it looks that bad but the rear of the sx doesnt fit the Z front, so if you don't entirely make a new car it'll look wierd !!... might as well just get a Z

[KwKouki]

its better than some conversions I have seen

[Cashizslick]

Way better than the 240sx/firebird TA combo :yuck:

[KwKouki]

HEY! that was a local shop for me. That conversion rocked in my eyes....no matter how goofy it was :rofl:

[irax]

the trans am firechicken conversion is waaay sick although it needs a stroker 383 with a blower on the top too.The 240sxz needs a rb30dett and it will be full of victory.

[sukimoto]

ps i own a 240z.

omg youre fucking sweet

[ZenkiJunkie]

lol... DRIFT THAT Z-SX!!

[Cash]

Uh oh, looks like

Edit: ^^that's old dried up dog shit btw.

Didn't XAT do that car? Tampa is considered local to Key West? haha. I'm in Georgia and I think I might be closer to Tampa than Key West. Or did you move recently?

[UfoZ8myCow]

Anybody seen that conversion on a coupe? Might look a wee bit better. Those hatchs look like poop because it just doesnt flow right.

[Kaizen.]

That sounds even worst


Coversions=Fail

Are we fuckin Hondas?

[zugoi]

Its all your personal opinions. I like it looks cool. Its alot diffrent then everyone trying to get the same conversion to make your car look like every other 240 out there now. Its stupid how you say oh its ugly from just from a few pictures. Any car will look bad or good depending on what kind of work was put into it. Like other memembers said about like diffrent rims with better offset and fender flares etc etc. Its like saying all 240's are ugly because of what Pimp my ride did to that 240.

[jspecusa]

to me for a s13 chasis
a clean kouki 180sx style front bumper with
these headlight would be the best conversion.
http://www.gt-rom.net/gtrom/kawagen/img/zerobig001.jpg
http://www.gt-rom.net/gtrom/kawagen/img/zerobig003.jpg
but it wouldn't sell because the headlights alone are over $1,500 a pair.

[irax]

is that even a real car. that looks too much like a model car to me. that or his bumper deffinatly does not fit right.

[snappy]

i like it damn sexy to me

Lol... what?

That sounds even worst

I'm with this guy, Honda people make me sick cuz they convert their cars into skylines... At school today I saw a Del Sol with an Integra Type R front end, hella gay.

[zugoi]

Honda people are different. They will put any front end on their cars they can get their hands on. Even zenki front ends. Ive seen that plus typeRs and i really hate the CL conversions they do on integs. So ugly. Ive seen an accord with an ugly e46 conversion.

nice, assuming that:
a) the lights are mounted properly
b) line up with the bumper, fenders and hood properly
are A & B, so that...
c) the headlamps are properly aimed and aligned

otherwise, you have expensive HID headlamps that perform like shit. most NSX owners easily dump about 6-8k in parts just to perform that upgrade from NA1 to NA2, doing this on an S13 is completely ghetto unless its done right.

but yeah, im sure we've all heard that before...

[xplicit240]

im in love! two of my favorite cars in one!

[UfoZ8myCow]

Ive seen an old Integra with a Pignose front end on it... Now THAT was comedy.

[Walperstyle]

here is an idea

everyone build a car they way they like it, and ignore everyone else and what they think

oh right, Top Secret, Yashio Factory and all those 'famous' people do that shit already. :p

its about what you like THE END

[myriad]

yes, but there is a fine line between what you like and what looks good. Everyone has their opinion, do what you want, but expect criticisms nonetheless.

People criticize putting LSx in FDs, people criticize putting S15 (or skyline) front ends on 240s, people criticize mixing import with euro with 'domestic'. All-in-all, it comes down to if you have the money, do it.

I still say it looks like a fugly Porsche

thats usually what people do. except that most owners here in the US, cheapout on certain things.. whereas in japan, they try to cover all bases.

serious, i see so much skimped out work on cars out here.

people gain respect by doing respectable work. if you produce some shit, then thats what youre going to get.. especially on zilvia, where people are pretty good at calling out BS modifications.

[zugoi]

i still think it looks better then the s13 with firebird front end.
How can someone tell someone they dont have taste.As i said and alot of other people said its all personal opinion. Your taste may look ugly to others and vise versa etc etc.

because some shit is just UGLY, period.

like a fat chick with pimples on her ass - no one finds that shit attractive.
