View Full Version : S15 getting overused

After looking through alot of my mags, (Including the new super street) and I have noticed the overuse of the s15 conversion, no not on Nissan, on those G.D. Hondas and Acuras.  The worse is they look decent, and all my original ideas are no longer original.  What i wanted was s15 with r34 front bumper, i know it has been done, but not to often, but once i saw the Interga with it from suprerstreet, i was pissed, and it looks so nice, it would look even better on an 180sx back.  Now if i was ever to get that front end i would be known as the person who "Copyed" the Integra, which i dont want to be.  

Im been thinking over it and I have been comming up with some diffrent totaly unique ideas, that dont involve s15, somthings that you would never think would work.  I was consitering a s14 (97+) but that is starting to be overused on civics and such, so im not sure.

In reality, an rx7 front end MIGHT work (93+ with projector light upgrade).  Im not sure, they mixed a supra and a rx7, why not a 240 and an rx7.  Then i consiterd skyline, be then i looked at the height and overall hugeness of this busting beast and couldent see it working with a fastback.  Then I thought, fight fire with fire and use some sort of Honda front end, but the idea soon escaped me.  Then I thought Supra, but that too would not look good on a fastback.  

Your probably saying "Why dont u just get a supra or a rx7 or a skyline." Well all i have to say is, that I want a car that is totaly unique, and if you have ever talked to me on aim, u would know how i am.  I want some insane hybrit that blows away the compatition.  Somthing that would be hard to copy, and would almost be a diffrent car in itself.  

I know their are many other cars that might be more customizble like civics. (no i never consiterd getting a civic) But the thing is with the 240sx is, If I dident pimp it out, it would still be a awesome car, and if i was to deck it out, it would be even kewler.  Also 240sx's are rare in my area, and seeing as i live in MN, all i see are civics with unpainted body kits, and huge spoilers and big mufflers.  Their are only 3 cars I would freak out if I saw on the road, (other than then like a Diablo or a Mclarin) The Supra, The RX7 and the 240.  Most of u are possably on the floor laughting right now but its hard to explain how stupid minnesota is about this kinda of stuff (I wish i lived in CA).  Ive only seen about 3 rx7 and 1 supra, and a few 240's.  Ask any of my friends how much I freak when i see a 240, they think im on speed or somthing.  Well thats all I have to say i guess, Im still looking for a 240 (The one i showed u guys, well i looked in the interior and its shot, and not worth more than 1000)and it so hard to find them in MN, but im still looking, i say if im ment to get a 240, ill find just the right one.

I totally understand about the cars... I never see an RX-7 or Supra... there is one RX-7 in this town, but an S14 is common... I'd say there are probably 10 or so... only 2 97-98... and I got one. =P  There are probably about 3 Supras... this town is broke-ass!!

Honda owners seem to follow trends. This one will go away, they will go back to making honda's look like hondas, and we will still be making our nissans look like nissans. (first guy to put integra headlights in his s14 gets the beats hardcore) And then balance will be restored and life will continue as usual. however, if this continues, the inevitability of the earth spinning off it's axis and falling into the sun increases astronomically..

You could always put a tiburon face on a hatch.............Yeah right!  ANyway, good luck with car search and if you like the s15 front w/r34 bumper and 180sx tail just do it.  It will still be sweet as #### and very rare!!

i always thought the tiburon was a nice looking car...well atleast from 98+.  i dont know if youve seen the newest one (the 2003) its nice...real nice kinda looks like a celica.  anywho try that a tiburon (2003) on an s13 or 14

some idiot thought my friend's '97 front end was a &quot;setup&quot;. he asked him 'man, where'd you get that conversion? that looks like that car from Fast and the Furious'.
oh yea, I think that guy was driving a Honda. Seriously, those people live in their own lil world, oblivious to everything else

Im aware that now s15 conversions are in real damand, but even if later on their not as big, many ppl will still have them, and it will be old news in the Import world. &nbsp;I want somthing freakin INSANE, somthing that when i drive ppl say &quot;WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT.&quot; I might get that quote from those who dont know about cars, or arent 240 lovers, but i want to amaze those who are big 240 fans, and surprise you guys, I want to make the impossible, POSSIBLE.

put it this way - hondas want to look like a quality car so the want to look like a nissan - if they looked like shit, nobody would want to look like them. &nbsp;similar to us wanting to look like somethig fast (not a honda)

ok, here's my theory, nissan would be the next honda... stone me all you want...

with the rise of the altima pulling over 200hp? with it excellently priced for it's performane, you will see more and more honda owners with them. &nbsp;the sentra se-R, excellent car, again for an amazing price 6 speed, you just KNOW the honda boys love that. &nbsp;people are starting to realize 240's are great cars now, due to it's RWD ability, and with drifting becoming a sport, the 240 would be an excellent car, especially the s13. &nbsp;it is one of the cheapest RWD car that's actually produced in the 90's. &nbsp;and in the end, the 350z, an excellently priced CONCEPT car pulling MAD hp for what? 32k? it's no surprise the 350z is going to be a sell out. &nbsp;and as well as the new maxima, pulling approx 240hp? &nbsp;that car has excellent potential w/ an exquisit interior and a stock 400w? or 200w? 8 speaker? or 6 speaker? bose system, definitaly people will like it.

i'm seening nissan make excellent moves in their car producting. it will not be a surprice if the nissan becomes the next trend.

350z front end on a 180sx...THAT would be hella-weird and require lots of custom work...you could always look to datsun too...try to put a 280zx front on a 180sx...i love those headlights

dunno how feasible that would be
look into porsche front ends too...of course the more exotic you get the more expensive you get
what if you imported a skyline and swapped the s15 front end onto it...that could be interesting
