That is awesome. If we could convince them to make a US fit with it by extending the center portion across they'd sell like hotcakes. Seriously. I'd buy one today.

EDIT* I just realized you're SRB's contact guy. Duh. So, how about it, US versions maybe?

BLKS13 · 02-28-2009, 09:30 AM

Crazy, I was thinking this the other day. Not for an s14 even though it looks nicer. If you can get s13 hit up with a price shipped to the states

bigOdom1 · 02-28-2009, 09:38 AM

wow that is sweet, ill chime in over there as well.

ChicagoS14 · 02-28-2009, 09:46 AM

Im curious why US cars never came with rear wipers? I mean the coupes, especially S14. Was it deemed unnecessary? Cuz sometimes that shit helps!

jorge1190 · 02-28-2009, 09:58 AM

well unlike everyone else i like the bumper

OptionZero · 02-28-2009, 11:41 AM

130 GBP = 185 USD

Add in the cost of modifying the mold

Add in overseas shipping.

I cannot see how it would possibly be less than $300, if that.

It's a shame Nissan USA didn't grow a brain stem and make the JDM bumper and some variation of the rear valence available here.

I'd pay $400 easily. Most kids though would balk at $75, so we'll see.

bigOdom1 · 02-28-2009, 12:57 PM

i paid that much for new oem sideskirts and rear valences. if i can paint it and put it on with NO work. ill buy one

Mangudai · 02-28-2009, 02:28 PM

I don't live over there so I don't know but are the euro rear bumpers easy to come by? I tried looking on the 200sx forum FST, ebay co uk and fr and didn't see any

OptionZero · 02-28-2009, 03:23 PM

They shouldn't be rare. Every s14 sold in Europe came with them.

Factory xenon lights for the S14 240SX DO NOT EXIST, period.

And no, Chun Li cannot throw her bracelets either.

I'd say that you are correct...but the thing is me and him DROVE the car out of the dealers lot back in 98....

also i remember they were having a special on 2 97 200sx N/A....

So i dunno,

I had one for a bit too, made a deal with a guy in Spain to ship it over, but I didn't like the fitment on the US bumper and sold it back to someone in the UK. For more than I paid, which was near four figures. Without shipping. It's the most expensive piece I've ever bought for a car besides my Volk wheels. And they were only $65 more.

Actually, there where about 1000+ Z-Edition lips manufactured. The Racing Edition, sold in Germany only, also had the rear valance fitted.
800 Racing Edition's where produced. They where similar to the Z-Edition, but came with #DN1 Emerald Green, also called "British Racing Green", hence the name "Racing Edition". Also, it had cream white leather seats and various wood interior panels, BBS 17" rims and lowering springs.

Nissan did have some spare valance's in stock, but most of them where sold to a company here in Norway that fitted them on customers car.

I was lucky to get mine from a Z-Editon that was totaled in a head-on crash. Didnt cost much either

markr · 03-01-2009, 02:59 PM

you can get the euro bumpers not problem.... and maybe get a few lips aswell

If you don't like it, no problem, you'll never see one in person. Just add me to your ignore list and you'll never have to see my sig, either.

I have never seen a replica on ebay, i suspect it's a different lip that's being confused for the z-valence. The piece doesn't fit on the USDM bumper anyways, so there'd be remolding involved.

SRB power makes something similar, With a little work it could be dead on.

I have seen the fiberglass replicas on ebay before, I was looking last year though.

edit- Oh, Looks like someone already posted the SRB lip up. It still falls under the fact that saying "you will never see/have one" isn't true. Sure, Maybe you won't have a real Z-lip, But if it looks the same who cares. It just takes time to change a couple of things, And the rape you have to deal with when shipping from Europe.

hondanissan · 03-02-2009, 01:20 AM

i think it looks pretty dope. i'de rock it...and i'de also rock the left hand drive r34's that they have there...cuz it suks driving rhd here in the states imo.

Nah, I'm not the contact guy. I'm just called Dan the same, and use the SXOC regulary, and linked the thread for you.

If you check back to the thread in the link, Dan from SRB said it's a possibility to adapt the mould for you if you get enough interest
