i think it was the bomex sides and rear, but the front is a skyline bumper molded to fit. illest kit is definately the wins kit.

and scroll down to the style 164. it's the one on the bottom. it makes the s13 look like a fucking ferrari. there is an iller kit and i'll post it if i find it. too bad this kit is a tad over $2700. eh...pocket change!!

Ugh...I personally hate kits that tries to make one car look like another car that obviously costs 3-10 times as much. =/
It just falls too much into the "trying to look fast" or "trying to look like something it isn't" rule with me. Whatever, your money, your car. Besides, posting a link to an S13 didn't help much since his car is a 97 S14. o_O
Anyway, my suggestions would be the C-Westin kit, . You can get it from http://www.autoimaging.com . You can also flip through http://www.takakaira.com and click "aero kits". The Fast & The Furious car had a Zeal body kit from Japan. You can get the cheap ass version from ViS Racing called the "Stalker". The site's at http://www.visracing.com . The copy of the original's quality is shitty and the fitment is pretty bad, they're made in Taiwan. I've heard rumors about employees at ViS giving people attitudes, but their shipping is alright. You can always find those kits elsewhere anyway since ViS distributes their kits to various shops around the country. Anyway, welcome to the forum. You can pretty much find a lot of topics to answer your questions by using the search and typing in a few keywords. If you have any more questions that you can't find answers to on the board, just ask.

holy fuck, i've been looking for ings everywhere...thanks a lot...btw, takumi, i'm almost positive its a skyline bumper and not zeal - one of my friends kinda/half knows nom, and has seen his car...not only that, but if his car had zeal in f&f, it'd be fuckin ugly and i wouldnt remember it...

Well, from what I saw in F&F, Letty's (the character, Dom's girlfriend) car was Zeal in the front for the moment. When I saw it, I was like, "Hold on...is that Non Fujita's S14 that everyone was talking about? It sure as #### doesn't look like it at all! I thought they only repainted the car, not change the kit." I guess they put it on there so it doesn't look like the yellow R33 on Dom (Vin Desel)'s team and repainted the entire car dark purple magenta. Please don't make me watch that movie again to double check. >_<
Otherwise, Non's car has a ViS "Omega" front bumper with a custom molded front lip.

Speaking of erebuni, has ANYONE seen a S13 with the "Racing hood" for sale over there? The pics they provide are just shitty, so it's hard to tell how it really looks. what i'd really like to get is a nice evo-style hood (or the TRD supra hood) but they don't seem to be out there.

I agree with Ings, if I ever get the money, I'm getting the set.
The 240sx in Fast and Furious is NOT Non Fujita's car, it's a different car, Non's car is still a dark tan color. And yes it is a Zeal kit. Non's kit is a custom job by his shop, Vis stole the concept.
Welp, looks like you've watched it too much already Takumi, knowing the characters' names and all, and the actors' real names too!

Yea, well, I only saw it once and I was checking the net to make sure I wasn't seeing things in order to confirm it was indeed a Zeal body kit. I saw it Friday night at a friend's house then we watched the Initial D movie afterwards.
The Americans have The Fast & The Furious while the Japanese have Initial D. Both bring out newbies into cars. =)

you guys might be confused on what kit it is on the 240 in F&F because as far as i can tell it's 2 different cars painted to look the same. During the Race Wars scene if you look at Letty's car it has Sparco seats in it. But when she races the RX-7 there are stock seats. It might be the same car with the stock seats put back in, but that doesn't make sense for a race now does it? I think the car she drives around normally is just some poopy car with a "nice" body kit on it. But for the race wars scene they actually had to find a fast car to beat the rx7 and the one they found had stock seats and possibly a different kit on it. This could be the source of confusion, or it might be that i just pay way too much attention to inconsistencies. Especially in that movie.

The front on the 97-98 240sx in the fast and furious is listed as "zeal" style. I sell it for 299 + shipping as do most people, but for anyone on zilvia it will be 239 + shipping. Im pretty sure the side skirts are Ings becuase the bomex have a hole in the sides so do the drift style. But I haven't signed up with Ings yet... But if anyone wants that bumper you can e-mail me at
[email protected] and just say what you want and your on zilvia... and ill hook you up with anything you want.. That bumper is on our site (The zeal bumper) http://www.midnightmotorsports.net

The Fast and The Furious's 240SX belonged to James Yen. It was discussed in FreshAlloy a while back. He sold it because of the poor paint job.

If you pause your DVD player at the scene at Race Wars, you'll see Non Fujita's car behind the purple 240.

Did you notice how the car seats changed from stock to sparco in from one scene to another when she was betting with that Jamaican dude with the white rx-7?

I think Non Fujita's car is so wicked! I don't understand why they didn't use that instead?

Probably because it didn't have a NOS button. Did you notice that everyone and their mom had a NOS system installed in that movie? <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

Why would somebody want to ruin a 97's clean yet aggresive look with a body kit?
I agree with wheels, tint, maybe a different (subtle) wing, the front lower lip... but those kits that makes the car look like it's been mutilated? :confused:
I just don't get it...

They sure do. S14's (95-96) and RPS13's.
