Nissan S15.3 conversion

[ThatWildRabbit]

Hey i know alot of you may flame me for this topic but im not here to be flamed im here for actual information

but what im needing to know is im going to import an S15 in the near future and im going to do a front swap on it i've been working on a 3dmodel of my plans and i know with 3dmodel its easier to do conversions and what not yea.. but im wanting to know what it would take beside fenders hood lights.. what else will i need to drop a 240sx Sharknose front clip on the S15?

here is a picture of what im talking about of my model

[nieko]

Can I ask why?

s15 front > chuki front. LOL

[KansaiDrifter]

Well, when I do s13 to s15 or s14 conversions it usually takes these parts,

s13 hood
s13 hood hinges
s13 light fixtures
s13 bumper
s13 bumper brackets
s13 metal fenders
s13 core support

Best way to do this would be to swap core supports for the s13 so now you have all your front mounting spots, and use the s15 fenders and s13 fenders cut/spliced together for the right kind of fit. Here's a pic of the correct way to cut and splice s13.5 fenders, but I figure it would transfer over the opposite way,

This does feel wrong haha, but would be different. I'd trade my vq onevia coupe for the s15 =D had to haha, but my goal is to buy a s15 too. Love to see it when you get it, post it up.

[sidewaysil80]

^^^^^^^^^ what he said

imo not going to flow at all. are you going to swap a ca18 as well lol? i'll throw you a bone. masa autoworks has one (s15.3). just buy their kit it will look better then making the shit on your own. of course this is in the unlikely event you arent full of shit.

Thanx for the input was what i was looking for.. and i will post the build on here

im doing it my way im not buying a kit because i dont want aftermarket bumpers i want a stock clean look

[WanganNastyMachine]

To be honest; I like your 3D model, if it comes out as good as that I will be in love (I love flip-up headlights).

You will most likely have to splice the S15 fenders into the Sharknose fenders mid-way through.

Ignore what people say, do what you want.

[brainfood]

There was a black s15 in japan with pop-up lights been around forever.

Edit Bee-r car

thanks spent 4 days building the model to have my pc mess up and corrupt the file xD so now i have to go and rebuild it all. yea i like the look as well.. its totally different then most Silvia conversions

An S15 is fairly affordable as long as you know someone to bring it over for you. The only problem is most people that are hardcore enough to do this life in CA where it's hardest to register. The bfe boys who live in ohio they can register anything.

[BoostSlideWayz]

S15 ill admit on other cars isnt the best looking.. But the original s15 is sooo clean, putting an s13 front idk about that... But i suppose others genuinely love that front end.

[SoCalDrifter]

i think your 3d model looks sick make it just like that it would be so sexy

[dontxploitme]

i don't think it would look bad but s15 front is probably one of the sexiest things on this planet so it would be pointless lol. but i would like to see it happen lol

[BoostSlideWayz]

If theres any chance you just wanna ship the front end off to someone.... im here:wiggle:

[ThatWildRabbit]

If theres any chance you just wanna ship the front end off to someone.... im here:wiggle:

yea i wouldnt mind parting out the front end

but do remember i wont have fenders as i will need them to make my conversion xD

[s-cargo]

180sx type x front or keep it s15....

[ThatWildRabbit]

180sx type x front or keep it s15....

NO! i hate the TYPE X

[jacobs13]

What program were you using to make that model?

[ThatWildRabbit]

What program were you using to make that model?

3DS Max 2010

[sincity_sil80]

not really my cup of tea, but i guess if its what you want more power to you.. i like all the front ends but in my opinion i like the s15 front the best.

[ThatWildRabbit]

well lucky for you im moving to Vegas in 2 months and you get to see me rolling around in it.. Same color as my model too

[stylepointzz]

Hell yea I love this

[ThatWildRabbit]

sorry guys uploaded the link to the post updated img for the bigger one so u can see better

[HouseElf]

i was mad when i saw this thread, but damn that looks fucking hot.

edit, mad not man lol

[510-SR20DET]

You should never downgrade your car. You should never put an older front end on newer car. Im with Superstreet.
Anyway, you get the car first then you come back to us, too many ridiculus day dreamers now a day, you feel?
Also can you please try to put a couple periods and commas in your sentences? I can't understand what the heck you were saying.

Just because you shouldn't, Doen't mean u cant.. tbh i don't like S13.5's, i don't like 14.5's, and i don't care for the S15 headlights.. which is why i thought about this idea because i like the Sleepy eye look of the 240/180. and i love the rear half of the S15 so i thought about putting them together

[cured13]

Love your idea and it looks awesome without that "Transformers" wanna be drifters aero kits. Keep it simple and clean, just pump the fenders and rather spend on super cool wheels like the ones in your project.

[Datenshi]

I'm with OP, this has to be done. It could look all kinds of amazing if it was done right.

[KiLLeR2001]

If I were doing this I'd go the kouki type x route. That way your car looks like it is from the same era aka '98. I have an s13.5 because I believe the s13 hatch has the sexiest rear and the s15 has the sexiest front :)

[Imarvin240]

i think its a sick idea...and besides...dont worry about what any of us think hah in the end, its your car, your time, and your money that is being used...so do what you want to do hah

[NINJASPY]

Get the car first. I need not flame.

[ThatWildRabbit]

thanx for all the feed back.. i plan to get the car before May or June as ill be in Vegas by march so thats where ill start this build and ill keep u guys updated.. and ill also do a bit more work to the Model as i go to finish getting it perfect because my buddy in vegas is gonna help me build it from scratch which will save alot of money and the hood on my model there is no out that match so he is going to make a mold and make it out of Carbon fiber for me so it will defiantly a one off hood

[satek]

I want to see how this turns out

[drift freaq]

ah no one has posted the Masa car which is absolutely sick. Its also probably the best s15.3 out there.

[ThatWildRabbit]

yea but that front bumper is absolutely horrid

[drift freaq]

yea but that front bumper is absolutely horrid

No actually its sick, its what makes the car. Of course I guess you don't like Ferrari's . LOL Because that is basically were the bumper design comes from.

[ThatWildRabbit]

yea i know but i dont like it.. im going for a nice clean stock look stock 240 bumper stock s15 body

[iheartmysil80]

Do it man! Its fucking cool! I'm gonna tell all my buddies about this and have a bunch of high school hipsters start this s15.3 trend. Righteous!

[icantsleeps]

i would NEVER .3 swap any S14 or S15 model, thats like not cool man

[doke! ドリフト]

how are you going to get an S15 shipped here, and will it be street legal(insured and all that)? I wanna take a 15 home when I leave japan...not fair

[rweezly_s13]

how are you going to get an S15 shipped here, and will it be street legal(insured and all that)? I wanna take a 15 home when I leave japan...not fair

hey ry-guy i met you at the hobby shop with chris
when you re-did your e-brake set up

but hey op when you get to vegas
if you need an extra hand hit me up!
i'm down and willing to work on some cars

[ThatWildRabbit]

how are you going to get an S15 shipped here, and will it be street legal(insured and all that)? I wanna take a 15 home when I leave japan...not fair

yea I'm going get it legalized for the street

[KiLLeR2001]

You'd probably be the first person in the states with an S15.3 lol.

[JayDee M Rolly]

there was that one super sick car from australia (or nz) a couple of months back on here that did it.

it was a white S15.3 with a super charged RB30, find it. its really sick.

i dont know why you would do chuki though lolololol

and how the hell can you hate type x (and dont say its the bandwagon because thats a dumb reason)

[slow40sx]

this pisses me off because i saw a video on youtube a few years ago (that i cannot find for some retarded reason) it had a red s15.3 with BN aero rippin it past the camera tandeming with some other cars but it looked amazing, thats the only time i've ever seen it tho :(

[rob22]

dammm that actually looks pretty good.!
Do It.!

[doke! ドリフト]

yea I'm going get it legalized for the street

That's awesome but how? If I can ship home a 15 I'm seriously doing it too.

[sleeper108]

I really hope this guy is serious, but as it goes with 80% of 240 owners, I'm forced to speculate whether he understands the gravity of the entire process...

Good luck if you actually get it, but there's a lot of "here's what I'm going to do" rather than "here's where I am" talk... just makes me skeptical...

Yeah, probably would have been better if he made this thread once he had the S15 in his possession, oh well we shall see.

[ThatWildRabbit]

Yeah, probably would have been better if he made this thread once he had the S15 in his possession, oh well we shall see.

i originally made this thread to get information on how to do the conversion and do it right.. which i got the information too. so like i said ill keep everyone updated as i go to visit local imports in Cali because i am moving to vegas in 2 months

[NNOCENT]

3DS Max 2010

Willing to share the 3DS file?

[Tiny_T]

No actually its sick, its what makes the car. Of course I guess you don't like Ferrari's . LOL Because that is basically were the bumper design comes from.

no it actually looks terrible. no one will ever agree, who cares if we dont like it and you do.

[Nick_04K]

Feds arent cracking down on the imports from J-land anymore??

I personally wouldn't have the balls to do this. But judging by the masa car...It's obviously very possible. And sexy!

[97240TB]

If you can get the car into the states and make it look like your 3D rendering then I say go for it that looks real good.

[ThatWildRabbit]

yeah, an I'm banging Ke$ha.

[1slicktwo4oh]

Hey since you wont need these: ill buy your headlight support, if you have the foglights ill take those too, for a fair price of course BUY/TRADE???? what type of bumper do you have?

[Pure_JDM]

I'm glad I actually clicked on this. I've been passing it up in an attempt to not have a flame war, but wow... The couple that are posted don't look bad, lol

[NoPho4u]

Why is it people who life in BFE like ohio or north carolina love OEM aero while people in places that matter like CA for example like more extreme aftermarket aero.

Sarry brah, Kali is passé. Midwest is killing it.

Check da build threads, shops and videos, watch our gangs, clubs and forum. Don't be hating cause your old news.

Our pigs are even cooler than yerz.

Shops like AMS are fucking tearing it up, venders like Touge Factory and Zerolift are giving us the right shit for cheap... Fuck, even that version select crap your leg humping comes from Chi-town IIRC.

Check your attitude at the door son, and remember,

"Welcome to Chicago, Motherfucker"


PS: Your football teams suck too.

Oh I'm sure they are, it's just that everyone has hid their shit in storage and what not, I honestly don't see the point in buying a newer car to make it look like an old car, but its the op's money and time so good luck with that.

Hah, I definitely enjoyed my time in Chicago, seems like alot of the car guys out there are more in tune with how to do things right, versus here in cali where we have a bunch of fanboy, tight pants wearing, stickered up random gayness fad going on.:ddog:

Jesus, get your celeb rumors right or GTFO. Gaga is a man, Kesha is a drunk..and Tupac ain't dead.

[Drifting-pedobear]

do you have the pockets to import an s15?
and do you have the pockets to make it look nice after you mutate it? coils, susp arms, paint, actual cool wheels (like the once pictured, which you will never fit under stock s13 fenders and will probably have to order them custom, custom CF hood is going to be aloooot of $$, etc etc etc,

since your moving to vegas i question the deepness of your pockets. people move out of vegas when they get money, not into it.

[KiLLeR2001]

Ah... It all makes sense now.

1. Move to Vegas
2. Gamble hard, win big
3. Buy s15
4. Swap s13 front

[raz0rbladez909]

well lucky for you im moving to Vegas in 2 months and you get to see me rolling around in it.. Same color as my model too

ok after re-reading this statement I can't help but wonder if you think this is going to be just like making your 3d model? Are you a fabricator of some sort? Good at welding? Have REALLY deep pockets? Is this going to be track only? It seems that if you don't possess any of these things you are just living a pipedream, by all means if you can make it happen kudos to you, but I really think you are underthinking the whole idea.

[NoPho4u]

to much to repost

Chicago is pretty cool for bfe standards I admit but you really can't touch what socal has to offer here:

G-Dimension
SR20-Store
KURE motorsports
Phase2Motortrend
Jspec.com
XS Engineering
SP Engineering
Top Fuel USA
Tein USA
JIC USA
Apex' USA
HKS USA
RB motoring

Just to name a few. I think you already get the point buddy.

and for the ones i have friends in Texas Arizona Colorado that all will helping in this build.. and the one in Vegas knows how to mold CF so my fenders hood will all be made with the least amount of money spent so yea thanx for your worries about cost.. i have everything coverd

[NoPho4u]

I fixed it for you...

and yes i know the wheels on the front wont fit.. i didnt plan on getting them that deep dish for the front.. im not stupid

[FaLKoN240]

I'd rather see a pignose front than a chuki front.

But really, chuki front looks like some fucking gay hybrid bumper.

There's nothing cool about it.

Not saying get some brashboy aero, but kouki bumper would flow better with those sideskirts you're planning.

[ThatWildRabbit]

i hate the pignose sorry

[Nick_04K]

i hate the pignose sorry

As does the other 99% of Zilvia.

[AGNT84]

that 3d rendering looks good. im wondering how it will look in real life
the masa car is sick!!!!

[TougeLove]

so wait.... did you buy the s15 yet? who is your supplier? website? connection? have you started import papers? are you bringing it over in one piece? if you aren't talking out your ass, i would assume some of the leg work would be done by now...if you're serious about it.

i will be getting on the importing process once i get into Vegas

[pepe123]

looks dope in the model hope it comes outlike that! i think ull have to make the fenders a liitle more beefy or wider.

[Martino]

u havnt been following the thread have you? i originally started the thread to gather information as im importing the car soon to do this project

I think you've missed what he's saying/asking.

Summary: Have you ANY info on how to actually do this or is this a "I'll find out about importing an s15 later. Even though I've already told everyone I have the money, resources, and skill, I now just found out I can't actually import this car yet and drive it on the street" type of deal?

On a side note, the render looks good.

[Edgar]

yea i like the BEER car, its kinda the jam

but there is nothing i can do from the east coast i want to be able to sit down with the RI and get a face to face conversation

[TougeLove]

there is tons you can do. i was in the navy and knew guys that would plan 6mths-1year out for paperwork, approvals, finding a container.etc. and they had navy hook-ups that made it a little easier.


i guess to state my question better; have you done any other research besides starting this thread?

edit: i noticed your sig. says 8,000 on your project. is that what you need for the car or shipping it over or parts once you obtain said car?

S15 Turbo will set you back 10k on its own easily... ad taxes, currency/banking fees, broker fees, shipping, and you could bet 15k before the car even hits our shores. There is a reason why state-side ones go for +20k.

[drift freaq]

no it actually looks terrible. no one will ever agree, who cares if we dont like it and you do.

who cares if I like it and you don't. LOL your post is troll worthy.
At least I had something to contribute to the thread.

all you have to contribute is shit talking. Oh wait your a low post count noob. Its par for the course with you.

thats why im only getting a Spec-s non turbo and the sig is my shipping and and car costs i've got about 5-600 saved

[nicho919]

That model looks ILL. Too bad it will never happen. Too much money.

[TougeLove]

so you've picked out said car? where are you buying it from? are you getting the insurance? how will you register said car once its here?

[ThatWildRabbit]

That model looks ILL. Too bad it will never happen. Too much money.

to bad for your doubts but thats why u have friends of friends that will help to do shit DUH!! like my buddy im moving in with he knows fab work so my fenders will be cake to him body work i know so the body filler will be cake and i already have plans to get the front clip

[badbob2121]

s15.3 is like going full retard.... and you never go full retard

http://i803.photobucket.com/albums/yy317/badbob2121/simple_jack_poster460.jpg

[nicho919]

No, it's not doubt. It's fact. You have 600 bucks. That won't buy you a clean chuki front end in America, dude. I'm not going to talk about post counts, but judging from your join date, you probably don't already own a 240sx. It's a pipe dream. If you do it, I'll clap, it looks like sex. But it won't happen. That's a 20,000 dollar project. Just for looks.

[ThatWildRabbit]

thats ur opinion and i have mine so ,,!,,

sorry to say but im not getting pignose and i already have a trade request for a S13 front clip.. so i dont have to BUY anything other than the S15 and cost of the work is covered to

[nicho919]

And 4chan has officially invaded zilvia. Apparently someone in /o/ has a subscription to superstreet, then decided to post in /b/.

[ThatWildRabbit]

and yea ur right i dont own a 240 anymore because i SOLD IT TO COVER MY MOM FUNERAL COSTS

[nicho919]

On the off chance that that's not also trolling, I'm leaving that where it lies. I have too many friends who have lost a parent.

[ThatWildRabbit]

as i have said already I AM NOT BUYING A SPEC-R im am getting a base model automatic spec-s and converting it to turbo&manual

[JuMPiiN]

I'm not going to argue with you, but after buying it, shipping, paying broker fee's, customs charges, replacing the glass to DOT spec ext, it would still cost around 10,000. Easily.

and i just proved u wrong on that part yes i know what the RI fees and importing is going to cost.. and i already have it figured up

[rweezly_s13]

yea im not gonna pay no 40,000 for an s15 when i can get one for 3,000

:eek3: i lived in japan and they don't even come that cheap!!
for a stock or n/a s15...you must have your numbers wrong or some one lied to you and got your hopes high!

did i say i was importing it for only 3,000 NO!! i know what the shipping costs are i know what the RI costs will come close to but dude said an S15 for 3,000 was impossible.. which i showed him it wasnt so..

and if u think im trolling good for you.. think what u want,.. its your brain... but when i prove u wrong dont come crying

[JuMPiiN]

Your a lost and confused soul, your thinking you can pay idk 15,000 for ome which may be somewhat maybe possible, there's a certain reason why the ones stateside cost 20-50,000.

With that being said your thinking you can buy that said car for 3000, import it for 10, then change the front end to a pig nose add a wide body to it like in your said picture, blah blah blah ext ext ext. You must have tons of money to roll around in.

[JuMPiiN]

And I'm letting you know now, you CAN'T get a S15 for 3K. I don't care what your Internet add says you can't buy one for 3,000 I bet you can't even get a junkyard trashed one for that.

for your information.. in said picture there is no widebody kit tyvm

[koukilvr26]

Why can't people just trust what someone says? I personally vouch for Rabbit and i'm moving to vegas with him so just wait and see what happens. He said he would keep you posted just be patient don't keep posting stupid trolling remarks. This is supposed to be a community of nissan lovers if im not mistaken. Don't worry about how much money he has. Don't you remember your mother saying its not polite to ask about someones money? All the guy wanted was some info for the conversion that's it. Thank you to all that are supporting him and as for the haters go ,,!,, yourselves. (Just sayin')

Not completely true. I bought my S15 Spec S for $3500 and that was 2.5 years ago.

But on topic, OP, how much actual research have you done on getting this car imported and getting a state-legal title (at a minimum) so you can drive it on the street?

For those of us living in Japan, we've heard so many young noob kids with their dreams of taking their Skyline/Silvia/Chaser/etc.. back to the US when they leave, and 99.99999% of the time, it doesn't happen because it's too expensive, and even if you do pay the money, no matter what other people tell you.... IT'S ILLEGAL! Spin it whatever way you want, if the car you want isn't on the NHTSA Import Eligibility list and you don't do everything through a registered importer and the EPA, it's not legal. If you think you can get away with it, go for it, but most people give up when they see how expensive and how hard it is, even the shady ways aren't easy.

So, good luck either way, I sincerely hope it all works out for you, but I think you just haven't done enough research to really know what you are getting yourself into.

We don't take kindly to people who say they're getting an S15 and only have $600 saved up. Especially someone new to the community. Not flaming you but if you would have read more on this site you would have seen the procedure of the S13.5 conversion, which in essence would reflect the same exact steps just vice versa.

Bottom line is, this thread is premature because of the fact you don't have an S15 in your possession.

yea well as u said i was new i didnt see any threads on conversions so i posted one

weather i have the car or not shouldnt matter for gathering information.. and if anyone wants to help on pointing me to some legit info for importing more power to them but im getting tired of the drama caused from a simple damn question

[rwdaccordswtf]

This is coming from a person who traded a kouki front for a zenki front with no extra cash and that says alot................WHY would you want a s13 front on a s15 thats GROSS

because its what i want.. its the same meaning as why follow when u can lead..

i dont like doing things that others have done.. u see 13.4 13.5 14.5's every day me i want to be different and do a 15.3 ok leave it at that

There's nothing to follow in this thread if it hasn't even started, you're just wasting bandwidth with all your bitching and moaning. All of the information you are asking for with your useless 3d model is available, try reversing the process it takes to put an s15 front on an s13 front like has been said many times. You just aren't listening, until you get the car it is pointless for you to continue to post about it, thats like me saying "when i get this Gt-r 10 years from now what should i do to it?" It is POINTLESS, not to mention ugly as fuck, there is a reason you don't see very many zenki, chuki, kouki 180/240 fronts on s15's, and its not because you're being a leader, thats the same shit all the tools with the honda civics with skyline conversions thought they were doing. Until you have a car in your possession and there is something that is not readily available using the SEARCH feature then, instead of whining and complaining about nobody wants to help you or spoon feed you.

[ThatWildRabbit]

you all may think im bullshitting or what not but honestly yall gonna be the ones bullshitting when i prove every one of yall wrong... like i said idc what u think of my project u can think its ugly stupid.. all you want is that gonna stop me from doing what i want no...

[pepe123]

prove these ppl wrong! i believe! haha good luck.

[ThatWildRabbit]

prove these ppl wrong! i believe! haha good luck.

thanx pepe finally after 2-3 pages of flame and arguments... some nice words come thru

[pepe123]

no problem,its ur money,u know how U want it. the process has been done so its not impossible.whats to stop u. no sense in writing 2 paragraphs with no info in it,just saying ull fail. it just the reverse process of the s13.5 idk why ppl are coming in just flame. again good luck! ill try to look for info for u.

(( in fact i have chuki bumper taking up space in my garage)) lip is broke but the rest has little repairable damage.

any and all info on importing processes will help me alot im going to call some RI's today and get things lined up and as much knowledge i can get

[Chase Bays]

3d model looks sick, do it.

[sidewaysil80]

that probably should have been the first step...you know, making sure you can get the car to begin with.

[ThatWildRabbit]

i've been researching stuff.. before i even joined here.. and i wanted gain info on the conversion its self and share my idea not start the worlds largest argument about cost of the project

[sidewaysil80]

look, all bullshit aside man to man, from my perspective it looks like you came on here "kicking tires" about an idea with hopes to import a skyline, perform a conversion that less then 5 cars have done worldwide, banking on gettin conversion parts for free, and have little to money to start with. and then it surfaces you still need to talk to brokerage firms etc. i would just let the thread die peacefully, and come back when you have the car AND started the conversion.

You do that.


Bookmark this thread too, when you grow up in a few years comeback and apologize for being such a tool.

[corry29]

dangit! its been 5 pages, and still no pictures! haha

[BoostSlideWayz]

It would be interesting to see, the only thing about when you posted this site is that people on here know talk only goes so far. So not to offend you but i suggest waiting awhile till you have the keys and the car. Take some photos of the car then lets try this thread again. No point in 5 pages of arguments lets just wait and see.

[superbike81]

yea well as u said i was new i didnt see any threads on conversions so i posted one

You are looking for legit information on importing a S15, I gave you legit info and you ignored it and went off on a rant about peole "hating" on you.

I am telling you, flat out, no arguments, there is NO WAY to import a vehicle not on the NHTSA Import Eligibility List and be able to consider it "legit."

Everyone who has an S15 driven on the streets in the US illegally bypassed the NHTSA and EPA. Do some people get away with it? Sure, but it's still not legit. At any time the car could be impounded and exported or crushed. If you are willing to take that risk, go ahead, but even the shady ways of importing are expensive. It involves removing drivetrain components from the car and shipping the car as a shell in a container. You are looking at probably $4000 just for the container shipping. Then you have to put the car together yourself or pay a shop to do it and then hope that you have a connection somewhere in Vegas who can give you info on how to register the car to be driven on the street.

NONE of this stuff is easy to do or cheap. The $600 you have right now is a start, but you've got a long way to go.

Also, are you willing to gamble the $15k+ this is all going to cost in the end on having the car impounded when some nosy cop decides to do his job? I really do hope it all works out for you, and I hope you enjoy the car, but I think you are underestimating the difficulty and time involved in the whole process. The 180sx front is going to be the least of your concerns right now, that will be simple compared to getting the car here and registered.

You may also look into getting one from Florida where there are quite a few gray market imports. But these are still technically illegal and you won't be able to register it in all 50 states.
