270R Aerokit question

[Koopa Troopa]

Where are you guys buying these knock off kits from? Only place I have found so far is Raceonusa but I don't know anything about them..

[OptionZero]

ebay? it's pretty ugly though imo

[Koopa Troopa]

The kit or the fitment?

[OptionZero]

the kit, definitely

the fitment, probably

[JERAVICIOUS]

i think the 270r aero is nice and clean. you can buy the knock off versions at importfan's website or vis. i hear the fitment sucks ass. i'm not sure if japanparts still carries the authentic kit but that's the only place that i know that had the real one.

Wesbite? I might just go to Nissan when I get back from Iraq next year and order the entire set.

As far as the kit looking ugly.. I think it looks clean, it's not overly aggressive and follows the lines of the S14. I'm just doing it cause I've been wanting to do something to the exterior of my 14 and I think doing a 270R replica would be fun, not to mention my Silvia was one of the first 14's ever produced and it would go nicely with the history of 14's.

[chmercer]

dont buy that man

its not 1995 anymore

[Koopa Troopa]

You and I have different opinions on how cars should look. I'll play nice and leave it at that. I just wanna know who makes a decent knock off kit.

[ThatGuy]

Did you really just use "decent" and "knock-off" in the same sentence?

Good luck in your search, but if you want 270R, then find the real deal.

They only made 50 of those.. I'm not looking to buy another S14 that is actually slower than mine for way more than what I put into my car. I'd rather buy a kit, paint the car and buy the badges.

I said decent cause from some of these pics I have been finding of 240's with knock off Nismo kits they actually look pretty good.

[jspecusa]

why would anyone in okinawa buy a body kit from usa?
if I live in japan I would get the hard to find kits, cuz I don't have to pay shipping.

[Koopa Troopa]

Because the States is the only place I've found them and in the end a knock off shipped from the US will still cost less then me buying the real thing from Red Stage Nissan.

Funny thing is it's actually cheaper to buy alot of things from the US then to buy it here...

[jspecusa]

there are nismo knock off in japan and you don't get military shipping discount for postal service for bodykit because it's too big.
only made in china/egay stuff is cheaper in the state then japan.

[Koopa Troopa]

I don't know much about Japanese body kit manufacturers.. I'm not a body kit person so I usually don't pay attention. Perhaps you could point me in the right direction then?

[jspecusa]

1. make friends on base
2. make friends off base
3. get off the computer and go out, you are in japan.

[Koopa Troopa]

Have plenty of 1 and 2 and I'm in Okinawa, not Japan. Obviously I don't need to tell you there is a huge difference between the two because I'm sure you've been to both plenty of times. The Silvia isn't running right now so getting off the computer and going about isn't as easy as it seems.

Maybe I'll check my Drift Tengoku's for aero adverstisers...

[JERAVICIOUS]

dont buy that man

its not 1995 anymore

hah!! nothin is new with cars playa it's all been done or someone else has had it before someone else. i think people should worry first bout gettin that top spot on the podium than how new their aero looks. just my opinion.

i would think since you live where you do, you should find a used one for sale?? if not, just check out those two websites i said earlier. the kits are about 450 last time i got them priced

[chmercer]

might find some ads for that kit in some like 1996-7 hyper revs or something...

[zero.counter]

...I'm in Okinawa, not Japan. Obviously I don't need to tell you there is a huge difference between the two because I'm sure you've been to both plenty of times.
Slightly off-topic...You are in Japan, within the confines of Kyushu, to the south in the Okinawan Prefecture circa 1972.

[CKAMC]

Chris,

page 12-21 is just zenki s14 in may's issue... nothing you like there?

look for a guy name fat daddy, he can get you the stuff you need and even paint it and put it on.
if you don't have a running car, that's what friends are for.
you won't have much time left staying in oki, enjoy it while it last.
oki has the cheapest used parts in japan and it's better then hawaii.

[Koopa Troopa]

I know Fatdaddy, sold him an Engine 2 months ago. I've been in Oki for a couple days and will be here for years to come (EASing on Oki).

zero.counter... Legally Okinawa is part of Japan but there is a huge difference between Okinawa and the rest of Japan. Okinawa has it's own dialect, culture, people, history....

I didn't contest its nature or history, only that it is part of Japan. I just wanted you to correct yourself after saying, "I'm in Okinawa, not Japan.".

[kuramaya]

This thread is crackin me up. Mercer tryin to get Koopa to spin and he won't. Glad you are learning koops.
Okinawa is Japan, the chicks just aren't as hot:coolugh: and the tracks here are big parking lots:2f2f: . We do what we have to do. we pay shipping from the main island, the only thing I like to pay for traveling from the Mainland is my Fam when they go home to visit. Own dialect, you rarely hearin anyone speaking hogen except old cab drivers and that bum with the cart that sits outside K.A.B. asking for change.
Fuck that Kit, just get an Origin or DMAX. Get your damn car running.

[JDS Performance]

I have the vinyl layout of the 270R if your interested. Its the layout for the complete car - I designed it a while back for a buddy - but he never finished the project.

You must not frequent Izakaya's... :rofl:

Origin - Gay
DMax - Gay

If I can't find a place that sells the 270R hood (going to Nissan Red Stage today BTW) then more than likely I'll just buy a kit from Jun (I wanna hit them up for a counter balance crank and have them rework my Kaaz diff anyways)

The TBO kit doesn't look bad either but I'm sure I'd have to convince one of my kawaii friends to call....

[kuramaya]

I live 10 meters from one izakaya and 50 from another, there are about 20 of them if you stretch it to 100 meters. I go to more izakaya's then you google "japan girls looking for american's" <<----I bet thats alot:keke:

Only people speaking Hogen are 60+

Holy shit, what are you? Blind?

[Koopa Troopa]

No, I just prefer kits that have an actual purpose (for example the rear wing on the TBO S14 is used to spread the weight balance of the car). Forgive me for not falling into the whole drift car trend. I for one don't even drift. I like beating GTR's at stop lights and running through the mountains. I could care less about how people think my car looks because all cars look the same from behind.

[Ian]

Yeah good point...



oh wait, no it's not


ugly is ugly bro...


same reason why the only bitches who wear these anymore are the ugly ones who have no style
http://www.presentsdirect.com/imageLibrary/jpeg230/5010.jpg

because even when it was cool, it was still ugly

I kinda see how you are going, I didn't like a lot of the aero when I first got my car, but have since warmed up to most.

What do you think about Cwest?
I think it's ugly as hell, but it's reputed to be wind tunnel tested and functional, not that I believe that 100%.

[Ian]

Do you seriously think you drive your car hard enough on the street to need aerodynamics?

[koukimonster139]

^ dude he beats gtrs at stoplights

oh yea he needs aerodynamics

[Ian]

Yeah...get that traction off the launch w/ aero kits

[johngriff]

1. make friends on base
2. make friends off base
3. get off the computer and go out, you are in japan.

LOL w/Sam, best advice evar!

[fliprayzin240sx]

To each his own, if thats what he wants to rock, great for him. Give him the info he ask and let it be. None of you are gonna pay for it so I dont see the big fucking deal.

[wonkuuzenki]

Haha well said. To each his own.

[OptionZero]

to each his own because it's very hard to convince people with no taste that what they like is ugly

[fliprayzin240sx]

Yups, same reason you dont hear me bitching about S13s, I think theyre ugly...:p

Uh actually over here alot of good looking girls dress like that....

As far as CWest kits go I've always like CWest. Sorry but I feel alot more comfortable buying aero from companies that build track cars running consistent lap times around Suzuka then from a company who builds cars to show off at Tokyo Auto Salon. I've yet to see any Origin or DMax cars running laps at Tsukuba or Suzuka but I'm sure someone here can prove me wrong.

But as far as taste goes that's a pretty low blow. I could say the same for you bandwagon Option Magaziners running around with 80mm overfenders and 12J wheels in the back when your car is powered by a over glorified T28.

I'm sure your girlfriend will still think your car looks cool when you get embarassed at a stop light by my stock bodied, beat down looking Silbeer. Take it with a grain of salt though cause I'm not looking to start internet fights. I just wanted to know if Raceon USA built decent kits.

[Ian]

Considering my S14 never hits the street, I doubt you'd ever catch me at a stop light

If you want aerodynamics, build splitters and diffusers...A bumper is the tip of hte iceberg with aerodynamic function

[Koopa Troopa]

I'm completely aware of that and a front splitter and rear diffuser is currently on my list of shit to come. Gotta make it back from the desert first.

[ThatGuy]

OK, stop talking about "street light" racing. Racing on public roads does not make you cool, it makes you stupid. Get over it.

You have gotten plenty of info on where you can start looking for a kit that suits you. Stop arguing and just let this shit die. Better yet, you're a Premie, lock your own thread before I have to.

[Koopa Troopa]

Build a track on Okinawa and I'll take the car off the streets. With that said I'll lock it per your request.
