which front end

[roboticnissan]

im looking into gettting a front end for my convertable to make it look more aggressive. i cant choose between an r32 conversion or a kouki s14.



what do you guys think

[S14_Kouki]

kouki. I dont like r32 fronts on 13's

[RicerX]

z32. doit. so sIK!!!

[tac 1]

Don't like both on vert. Go with sil front with version select body kit.

[Marc240]

Sil-front.

[!Zar!]

The only way you can make a vert front end look good is when it is flying off a cliff.
;D

[sincity_sil80]

^^ haha.. nah i like the sil front on the verts... r32 looks like ass imo

[boobs13]

z32. doit. so sIK!!!

I hope you were just kidding!

[cemtoes]

s13.4 do it. I have one, looks epic.

[abubika345]

Do a bn blister kit, it'd be agressive and much cooler than any front end swaps

kouki fronts look good on koukis
r32 fronts look good on r32s

can't we keep it this way

[roboticnissan]

The only way you can make a vert front end look good is when it is flying off a cliff.
;D



which is why im changing it der der the verts front end is going over a cliff. zar is a hater


im going for a swap mainly cuz a girl hit me pretty good and theres no way i can get a usdm pop up front on there good anymore

[az_240]

Conversions are gay. You will regret it later.

Stick with pop ups or bricks...they look best on a vert

[enkei2k]

i think you should do a JDM honda odyssey front end.

i'm surprised this thread hasn't been closed yet for the whole 'your car do your own stupid shit to it'.

[projekt_s13]

s13.2

oh, yeahhhhh!!!

[Ilya]

I think Instant Gentleman kit on a vert would look incredible!

[ayuaddict]

R32 front on vert is the fucking business.

[ericcastro]

Keep pop ups.

Just to let you in on a little of whats going on in the 240 world, since you are asking, you obviously dont know shit.

Bricks/sil fronts used to be cool, but are now looking like ass.
That style and era has moved on.
the S14 conversion is for a limited amount of cars that pull it off, and just barely at that. They also tend to take alot of money to make sure EVERYTHING works and fits in with the conversion theme. meaning expensive rims, fitment is perfect, expensive body kits that cost moeny and fit right.

r32, go fuck yourself you god damn ricer.
Nico is a adress bar full of letters and dots away.


so keep the pop ups.

even the coupes are staying pop ups now.

[boosted_kouki97]

yeah i totally agree so many people got the sil front end and stuff they played it out and most people that do conversions now days dont do it right they get a ebay carbon hood some widebody fenders and a wanna be jdm bumper lol.In my opinion keep it like it is and just make the car how u want it.I happened to find a 97 240 clean title se with matcin vins clean title i love it.Stick with what you got they look good

ahha :D

The only thing I can say about popups ASIDE from their epicness is FUCK POPUP LIGHTS.

Reason being is that (after a while) all of my popuplights (3 sets) have eventually screwed up to some extent, a motor going out, or a lifting rod breaking... For a mechanically adjusting/moving they're too damned finicky and prone to damage!

Aside from that I love them, anyone know where to get like... Good/New motors?

seriously you are asking people here what front end you should run? Make up your own mind. I put the front end I want to put on my car.
Personally I feel coupes look right with s13 Silvia front ends. Notice I said coupes?
I also feel the fastback looks good with a S15 front. Only the fastback.

The only other conversions out there worth a damn are not easy to do. I.E. coupe with s14 kouki front or S13 coupe with R32 conversion i.e. front end, r32 over fenders and R32 tails.

In the end with our cars I would say keep it simple. S13 Silvia front on your vert? Do it! No one is gonna hate you for it.

Shit I am more likely to get hate than you will just because I put a steel fender S15 front end on my fastback. Guess what? I always wanted to do it and I was not about to let any of you fucks color my opinion.

Which leads me right back to what I said earlier, make the fucking decision for yourself its your car and screw these fucks.

Truth be told its not even cool anymore to own a S chassis. How do you like them Apples? LOL Unless your 16 years old.

I beg to differ. Silvia's have always been cool and onevias have always been cool. It's all about the execution.

I'm not trying to be cocky but I think my coupe with silvia front looks good. I think Chase's car from Arizona looks good. I haven't seen many others in the states that look good but I can say the same thing about onevias. Execution, execution, execution. Just do whatever you want but focus on the execution. Paint it well, flush the gas cap, no sags in the bumper, good wheel fitment and stance, no gaps, DONE and DONE!!!

Example: I freaking lowered my motor a half an inch so my hood would fit right. You show me another person with a s13 silvia d-max hood that fits better.

this is for a track car only and it will look good and aggressive when its done. plus the big wheels i have anyways. fuck all haters

i understand what your saying and im not really taking a poll here as to how many votes i get or whatever. imma do what i want in the end. i really want an r32 cuz like ayuaddict said its the business. but an s14kouki would be sick as well. im building this car for me and not to get approval from ppl on here. just thought id see what ppl had to say lol. and ppl have spoken.

if thats your red silvia front(dont take offense that i dont know who you are)then your car does look clean but im not even considering a s13 silvia front. that doesnt mean your car doesnt look the sex or that silvia fronts in general dont look the sex.

[roboticnissan]

to all who have actually paid attention to the thread thanks a lot. my car will be wide low and super aggressive wheel fitment is a must, i understand that and ive got it covered. imma hit the track hard even with an "expensive kit" and say f you to all ppl that build clean cars and refuse to use them

[ericcastro]

........... It's all about the execution.

Think we are saying the same thing.

To make it work, it takes alot of money, time, forethought, effort, and attention to detail.
(BTW, i like your car, and chase's. who owned that pink one couple years ago?)




you obviously dont know shit about me!!!

I know you need to post on a forum to decide the astetics of your car.
I know that if you need someone to make your decisions on what looks good, then i worry what happens when you do the rest of the build on your own.


every conversion can be done right and have it look cleean and good.

Maybe you should just go all the way and save for that ferarri kit or the jag one.
how bout that old car one, forgot the name, looks like an old ducenberg or bently.
350Z conversion?
put that mercedes front on the 240,

those can all be done to look right im sure.

you will all know my car when i hit the tracks hard.
"And you will know my name is the Lord..."

fucking tunnel vision kids these days...........



BTW, whats a onevia??
Im sorry, but I call them 240's, hatch, coupe, vert. all KA's and to american safety standards.
I dont do the whole 180sx thing.........cause i put some window trim on or a CA.
I dont call them Silvias, unless they were actually shipped from Japan..........
do i really need to get hip on JDM'in lingo?

Don't quite understand why you want other peoples opinion on how to modify YOUR car, without getting much into a rant this is the exact reason we have so many clone type 240's around! No one wants to experiment anymore.......

Anyway I kind of dig the way this front-end was pulled off with an odyssey front but please don't try to copy it haha

Fuck whatever "current trends" are, and LOL @ the fact people don't want S13 Silvia fronts anymore.

i say do what the fuck ever.

it'd be boring if we all had the same ass lookin' cars

[roboticnissan]

I'm falling towards s14 I don't wanna stay pop up cuz I got hit and my radiator support is no longer straight.

Eric castro fyi I'm not trying to be ricer, cool, jdm, I'm going for an aggressive look. Like I said before I'm not looking to impress anyone just wanted to see what other ppl thought about the r32 front vs the s14 that's all. I'm not building a show car here and I realize a good fitting kit is expensive as well as good fitting wheels are pricy but I like spending money on my car. And I'm going toactually use it. Thanks for all your imput regardless of how it doesent pertain to either front end I'm going to choose from.

[!Zar!]

A bent radiator support will fuck up the alignment no matter what headlights you have on there.

Correct but what's easier to manipulate a good fitment? A small lightbar or a hold flipup contraption that weighs 5 times as much.

Not sure why but this guys vert is the business.

[kyoru]

never seen a R32 front end on a s13 before...might look good. kouki looks out of place on the s13 body

[abubika345]

Yea if you put this up and when people say don't then you don't listen it's whatever.

Bottom line is it's your car and if you want an s14 front then go for it



Buuut it will prolly look like a bag of dicks and when you hit shit it's gonna be alot more money.

[HyperTek]

dam im diggin that skyvia just because of how oddball it looks..

[gzer750]

i have a silvia s13 front on my vert. played out but i love it.

[Imarvin240]

in the end, with enough time and effort anything will look good. no one will hate on whatever you decide, as long as you make sure it all looks good. either way you go with it, it works as long as its done correctly and you dont cut corners like some people do. good luck with the decision and do it correctly

[Irresistible]

Silvia front on a vert for sure. If it was a regular coupe, I'd say S14 kouki front end. R32 front end looks like ass imo.

[roboticnissan]

Yay bumping old threads Haha and mine too!!!!!

[Irresistible]

Holy crap, I didn't even realize how old this thing is. Lmfao.

I'd just like to point out, it wasn't me that bumped it, I just didn't fully read through the 2nd page, nor did I bother to look at the dates.

[iheartmysil80]

Oh god. opinions, opinions, opinions. The only opinion that matters is only yours. Are you building this vert to impress people? C'mon dude. YOU'RE driving the car for crying out loud. Impress yourself. See what you can do with your own thoughts. Not others.

[ericcastro]

I loved this thread, it was a bunch of fun :)

So its been about a year...................

PICS??

any luck with getting stuff on the car done?
what front end is on it now?

I take it you havent been hitting the tracks, cause I dont know your car :(

you will all know my car when i hit the tracks hard.

But the real question is, why is ZAR! banned?




BTW, "on the real", I hope you still have the car at least and have been able to enjoy it in some way or other through this shitty economy.

[roboticnissan]

Actually Mr Castro I took your advice and stAyed. Usdm and have not put any kit on it at all. I rb swapped it and caged it and have been to the track a lot. Just not with a collaborative group.

But yeah Eco sucks but ill be getting a raise and put even more suspension.

[roboticnissan]

did zar get banned off this thread?

[Q.Smooth127]

you should never had made this thread haha.
you will just get bashed for not going the way THEY want the car to look.
This is YOUR car and you should do what YOU want. Who gives a Fuck what others think. Unless THEY are paying for the conversion parts, then you should really just choose what YOU want bro. If you like it, then do it.
Me being part chinese and tight wit my money, id say take the cheapest of the two haha but do make sure the fitment gets on good...unless your just gonna beat the shit out of it then whateverz.
Anything can be made to look nice. A sexy paint job, good fitment, some nice flushed rims n blah blah, any car can look pretty.
To each his own man.

[Okinawandrifter87]

But the real question is, why is ZAR! banned?



I think he was banned cause of a certain racist remark.

[Phlip]

Jeeze, this thread was less than necessary when started, and now someone bumps it from the grave to add nothing that anyone with a little sense would have already known.
Now it has become a discussion about why a banned member is in that state.
