I just got my 240!

[GregT]

I just bought a 1996 240SE and I want to do a Silvia conversion on it. I saw the coversion on VISracing.com. I don't like the 240sx front end but I like the Silvia front end much better.

My friend is also trying to sell me his wheel off his IntegraTypeR. His car is 5 hole so and mine is too so I think it should fit my car and look nice. it is a 17inch enki.

Some time down the line I'm gonna do a SR20 swap and learn to drift! :D

I'm so excited about my new car!

dear newbie:

s14 silvia front end is same in japan and USA.

in conclusion, a SR20DET is not required to drift.

thank you, come again,

dousan36 and friends

[GregT]

What do you mean? I want those Silvia headlights since we don't get silvia front ends in the usa.

[Dousan_PG]

then be SPECIFIC

s13 silvia is 89-94 USA but has diferent front end in Japan (same body but different front end for USA)
s14 silvia Zenki is 95/96 US (same headlights in USA)
s14 silvia Kouki is 97/98 US (same headlighst in USA)
s15 silvia is JAPAN ONLY (car was never avaible in USA...so headlighs were not too)

you have to say s15

notice how all are SILVIA model?

be specific


a sr is NOT needed to drift!! only posers and wannabes think that. DO IT

if your a newbie learning to drift, dont get a s15 front end hahahahahaha..you can kiss it GOODBYE after the first big crash. and oh yes, you will crash, eventually. everyone does somewhere somehow.

[NiteKids]

Let him do what he wants and be dumb. W/ his "silvia front end" and his fwd pizza cutter ugly enki's on the car.

[MrMigs]

I don't understand. Why do you want to make your car look better THEN drift!?? Like Dousan said, there's a chance that you're going to crash, and mess up your precious headlights.

I... I ... don't really know what to say... you don't do the 240sx any honor. I hope u crash your precious front end... thanks for joining the bandwagon.

Ah Im sorry that was too harsh.... just don't be rice. I hate hate hate rice. Don't try to do a "skyline rear end" or anything stupid like that, and welcome to Zilvia.net

unfortunately, as i have predicted, the 240SX Enthusiast-To-Ricer (ETR)* Ratio is steadily on the decline. and yes, dousan is correct about the drifting crashing thing, and im sure he knows that all too well :cool: ...as do i. so yeah, if you are gonna do JDM tyte converZnz, then dont drift, and vice versa. and FYI your friends FWD pizza cutter integra hype-R wheels will not fit on your 240.



im sorta glad i jumped off the bandwagon when i had the chance...




*I invented the ETR ratio! but feel free to use it as you please, haha.

If you are planning on getting a conversion dont plan on getting VIS or GTP fenders. they suck. I foyu are going to do something right, do it right the first time. Spend a little more on real conversion fenders such as masa or i ferget heh. but yea dont waste your money on vis or GTP you'll end up paying more later. o yea like the others said, you DON't need a sr20 to drift, learn how to drive w/your open diff, and when you get a little better move up to getting a lsd. you can do lots w/the KA!

You know, when I first joined this forum I thought you people (dousan mostly) were rude, evil people. But the more I learn about this car the more I understand the flaming.

I was gonna ell this guy congrats but obviously he hasnt done much homework.

p.s. I don't think I know everything. I am but a sponge with 240 info.

P.p.s congrats anyway I wish I could get a 96 or so too.
