I believe he never said it was a NISMO kit....he just wanted to know if anyone has a picture of the NISMO kit.

To stay on topic....that conversion looks fugly.

darithS · 03-19-2004, 11:20 AM

This is the NISMO kit for an S14...

nissan slut · 03-19-2004, 11:35 AM

nismo sucks

Dousan_PG · 03-19-2004, 05:48 PM

werd!!! nismo-for posers

fuck GTP/Importfan... ...I was the first person to order the s15 for s13 conversion from them... the excuse for takin almost a year to get my whole kit "we're making a mold of your kit..."

FUCKERS! the pieces that they made fit like complete shit... the fenders were completely unusable(trash can they went), rear bumper was junk (sold it on ebay and bought genuine Bomex), and the side skirts needed a lot of work.. The hood and front bumper(drift) were made by some body else and are accually pretty good quality...

...I work in a custom shop and other kits i've seen from gtp are just as crappy... ...if it's blue, from them ..throw it away

[email protected] · 03-20-2004, 03:10 PM

I really see no problem with the kit. Take a look in any Japanese car magazine and seeing off the wall conversions like this are pretty common. It's simply another Japanese trend that has finally hit the states. Its diffrent. Would I do it on my own car? Prolly not but it's definetly out of the oridary.

matlock · 03-20-2004, 03:33 PM

I was looking into doing the R32 front end on my coupe, but I just think the bodylines don't match up that well. I agree that with wide rear fenders it might look better, but who knows, I would rather do a Silvia conversion

ryan hagen · 03-20-2004, 03:58 PM

i d ldike to a see a s14 kouki conversion, but yah thats ugly, it look horible on a hatch.......you could run some 18 by =huge wide -offeset with 60mm to play with, lol throw on some dubs to raise the car lol, the ricers will have a field day. lol u always see gtr civics in magazines so i guess it was only a matter of time before the mixxed the skyline front back into a nissan

oooooooooooh how trendy, oooooh how nice!

f-trend.

AAA240SX · 03-20-2004, 11:41 PM

I don't think that "conversion" would ever survive on the street...You'd need to raise the car a couple of inches. Or you can get one of those front diffusers and plow the snow for us here in Chicago

HyperTek · 03-21-2004, 02:58 AM

I know this is offtopic, but can anyone link me to a pic of an s14 with s13 180 front on it?? im tryin to convince my friend with an s14 to swap front ends with me.. =)

I used to have the pic, But it only looks good with the Kouki Front end with a lip, cuz the Kouki S14 skirts match up with that rather nice

brianglawson · 03-21-2004, 09:07 AM

honestly if people wanna buy it let them its there car, at least is a better looking conversion than say a civic with a supra talights conversion and benz headlights

nightwalker · 03-21-2004, 01:41 PM

There are some horrible horrible conversions in Sac that I have seen, that makes me want to slap the owner (but it's their money, so I just laugh)

like the S14/R34headlight/100lb of bondo crapper that lives in Sac somwhere. It reared it's ugly head at the last Lollicup meet.

We tried this, the bodylines were way off and there was a huge gap between the fenders and the door, also where it curves around the windshield and meets the hood. You can use the R32 GT-R hood , you must drill out the lower hole of the S13 hood hinges so you can use oem R32 GT-R mouting points.

You MUST modify the GTS/GTR fenders if you plan to use OEM ones.

The conversion fender we are making does not require modification.

s13.5 fenders we sell fit perfectly now, the vented b-road wide version. We did have fitment issues with the non-vented fiberglass style

In the pictures we compared the R32 and S13 coupe body is more similar than the S14. Especially the rear windows.

And of course the rear will not be left oem width with a wide body front end on a rear wheel drive car, we have not worked on the rear yet.

All new Carbon stuff fits perfectly, Fenders and S15 fronts we recently fitted were perfect..

nightwalker · 03-21-2004, 11:57 PM

I'd have a killer motor for that much money!

Yah, but a all carbon fiber bodied F1 car would look cool...

ryan hagen · 03-23-2004, 12:57 AM

most of their stuff is "Carbon Double Sided " doenst that mean soem thing is like fiber glass with carbon fiber wrapped around it?

that all carbonfiber s15 n1 style front looks bad ass, the other looks, well not as good, i dunno i just liek carbon fiber, would even look good in a raw flat finish

OptionZero · 03-23-2004, 01:31 AM

I remember that skyline s14 piece of shit...who the hell invited that crap?

i thought this was covered in a lot of other threads.. howthe cf parts are either wet or dry.. and completely different. (price and quality)... i cant really remember...
anyways.. i think all of it is ugly..
the skyline front looks horrible on an s13.. especially a hatch..
the first cf bumper shud be on the cover of ricer 101.. everybody has one..
the second.. um.. looks like the front bumper of a dodge viper.
P.S. cf is ugly.

Does that mean your gonna widden out the back of that s13 hatch as well? Cause it looks gay, and so does that R32 front on a s13. Waste of MONEY I have a feeling Importfan is gonna be one of the 1st to sell APC's new drift product line...

ryan hagen · 03-23-2004, 09:58 AM

i m pretty sure autozone will

hmm...thats :ghey: ....I still like carbon fiber,its gotta be stronger then regular glass or PRF right? ...wich is the N1 style?? first one or the second one? ....hmm....Well,I wouldn't do it anyway I just liked the way it looked...I still plan on getting a C-F or C-F layed hood (Sunny styling fiberglass with a layer of C-f weighs just under 5lbs

)

[email protected] · 04-26-2004, 07:51 PM

Here it is all done, I will take more pics later, I need to get wider wheels now and a GT-R grill and GT-R headlights instead of the GTS

on the FRP vs carbon thing.. carbon is better in all cases than FRP. It's just more highend , the only draw backto carbon is its cost.

psychedelicbeats · 04-26-2004, 09:34 PM

ahahhaha import fan beat you guys to it. here are my grudges though.. i like how the side skirts bring life to the car, but it doesn't match up with the bumper. i don't like how the front mid section of the bumper needs to be so low. it just doesn't look nice that way. as for that project car, importfan, you should ask the guy that owns the car (or whoever) if they want to do the r32 rear. that would help out a lot.

i think this project needs a redesigned front bumper (and a gt spoiler! JdM tYtE y0) well, at least everything is going out as planned
