supra taillights

[nismochic]

Hi...I'm thinking about doing the supra taillight conversion on my 1995 240sx. I was wondering if anyone here has done this conversion before, or has heard of anyone doing it. I need to know what exactly is involved with this conversion. Any pictures you may have or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

[tnord]

:rolleyes:

[-E-]

In My opinion it looks like sh!t on the 240

Lots and lots and lots and lots of bondo. There's no writeup on how to do it Just cut crap out bondo lights in.

[LonelyDoridori]

Is there something wrong with your stock tails?

[Dousan_PG]

stock tails.................dont win shows.

[LonelyDoridori]

That's true.. plus Supra tails allow you to run higher boost :D

That is God awful. But to each his own...right? you can expect it to take a hell of a long time if you do it yourself (considering you know what you're doing). You'll probably also have to spend some cash to get the lights and harnesses and all of that. If you get it professionally done, it's going to cost you out the ass.

Why dont you do something semi-original s-15 tails? Everyone tells us how hard it would be and it might not come out right, prove us all wrong.

When was the last time I saw a s14 with s-15 tail and eyes?

When was the last time I saw a s14 with s-15 tail and eyes? I seriously wouldnt reccommend the S15 taillight convo since its a different frame and youd have to spend loads of money (equivalent to another car with turbo) on parts and labor..it would be different but...not wise..but like that other guy said..to each his own....and if you have the money to do the full S15 convo...even better...

I heard the bottom end on the Supra taillights is good to past 800 watts of lighting. And you can hit 500's with just bolt ons. Can anyone confirm this?

The main draw to the Supra lights is the engineering. They completely overbuilt them...like the r34 tails that you see so much on Civics. :p

FWIW That was an s15 w/ s13 front if I remember correctly

[drugie]

:( :mad:

[CoasTek240]

hey dousan... do u get a subscription to options magazine.. or someother jap. based magazine.. you always seem to have some really original pictures..

ROFLMAO!!!!
dude i cant imagine having a convertible with lomborghin style doors!:eek: :eek: :D
and that 4x100 lug conversion is just hillarious!
do happen to have the pic of the car?? i cant imagine it in my mind...
oh.. i know... its photoshop time! LOL

[AceInHole]

no one sees the irony that S15 tails are too custom and expensive to do while Supra tails are not???

Am I missing something here??

[Dousan_PG]

i think both are pretty lame. just want to make sure the poster gets MAXIMUM show points ja know?
i think s15 is a better bet, more JDM BLING BLING to blink the judges.

[masta]

The job looks kinda clean though. But I wonder how the trunk looks like when it is opened.

I would like to see more pics of that S15 taillights conversion, but I do not have a ImageStation account.

FYI: If anyone is looking to buy used S15 taillights, PM or email me. I have two sets. :P

[b] i second that opinion... alot of work and money for the looks.

[240Dori]

Hi im thinking of RUINING my 95 240sx....For all that is good and wholesome in this world please DO NOT replace your beautiful s14 tails..just my opinion

[SimpleS14]

They look nice on a MX-6........

[sponger85]

dont doooo it .... stay nissan ... spend your money and get some skyline lights if you really want some new light .....

[24D]

I'm with the other guy get some Skyline R-32 tail lights. I think those are the ones I like. Has anyone put skyline tail lights on a S-14?

[whateverjames]

doesn't look bad to me. i don't care what anyone does to their car.
http://systemsilence.com/17.gif

wellllll. hmmm i take that back.

[sponger85]

that truck is a little too much bondo .....

[saga240]

i just think it looks like totally crap on an S14.. it COULD look OKAY.. and i mean OKAY on an S13 coupe.. but thats about it.. but bleh dont do it.. just get kouki tails or paint the center like me and many others have done..

[Dousan_PG]

i looked ALL OVER for DT and option videos..all i could find was bset motoring..ZZZZzzzzZZZzz.boooring :o

[drift into a curb]

aaron's hiding it for himself. go get a search warrant, you'll find what you seek. hah

[madwilly240]

why do most of you seem to hate the fact that people want to build show cars sometimes. so what if someone wants to put some bling on their rides or some other cars lights. he was right..... stock lighting doesnt win shows. i think it looks good man, go for it.

[Keo]

Well, I mean if being *bling bling* is your thing well heck.... what do I care. I think it's a waste of money. I appreciate what the 240sx for what it is! I would rather invest in stuff like suspension and antisway bars... add a few hp and then hit the track atleast once a year! I would enjoy that alot more than trying to look better infront of some judge you never met!

I mean... while your at it hehe add a whistle tip! WHOO WHOO J/K!

Hey, I've been reading what all of you have to say about the conversion. First of all, thanks to those who support it! And for those that don't, you need to quit flaming someone who actually is into that sort of thing. I understand what the 240sx is, and I absolutely love my car!! Don't get me wrong. The only difference b/w me and you guys is the fact that i'm into the show part. I would think that you would be proud to say that a 240 could have the capability to win trophies over any other car out there. I mean, it's all in what you like. I'm just disappointed that you guys aren't open to all the possibilities of the 240. It could be a FAST car, it could be a show winner, and it could be an autocross winner. Just depends on which part you want to do. I know my car is capable of it. I just don't feel like it's a bad idea myself (the supra taillights). I think personally, it would look very unique.

Because I like to DRIVE my car(s) . :) Cars are made to be DRIVEN, not parked on big mirrors with two wheels jacked up so you can see the color-changing neon tubes under the car!
I don't hate show cars, I just think they are one of many ridiculous wastes of money and perfectly good cars.

[SilviaDriver]
