First time ive ever seen this done, Its on this months Super Street. Its a bit riced out but i think the rear end kinda flows on a fastback (with the S15 frontend of course).

That looks pretty lame. And im my personal opinion that cars too high. But just like the other guy said his cars in a mag and mine isnt so iono man...looks just like every other cookie cutter 240 in the mags right now.

That is just plain UGLY. The car as a whole is pretty weak IMO. Needs more low/better aero/no gay ass vinyl... etc. but like everyone is saying, his car is in a mag and mine is not so yeah.
nifty bit or fabrication, but its looks terrible to my eye.

im not sure if i like it or not but it sure is different for sure
That car is GS motorsports car in Dallas. Its unique, but the tailights dont look that great in person. A little crooked IMO, I have a few pics on my computer from a show ill upload later if anyone wants to see more.

In the zine you can see how horrible the bodywork was. It's an interesting idea but poorly executed.

this isn't the best photoshop but IMO i think if the back tails were straightend and the rear quater window was done, I think it would look alot better, but still not the best choice of body-kit!

Looks terrible. Simply terrible. I actually done't like a damn thing donw to that car. The rear aero is too gaudy imo along witht he wing. And the color is too nasty also. At least the roof is painted black.
-1 for posting such a shame of a car.

Well, I think if it was painted a different color, the lights mounted lower (or something) in the back, and the car had a different or no wing, it would look pretty cool.

I dont like it. It doesn't look anything like the S15. Its almost like putting a Skyline front end and taillights on a sentra or something. Taillights are too high. I hate the shopping cart wing.......but yeah his car is in the mag and mine isnt. Props for the creativity though.

The rear looks too tall, and too skinny for the tails.

does it have a dual exhaust or just the body kit? cant really tell from the pic
ThatGuy
03-13-2006, 05:30 PM
^Then you need to adjust your monitor. It's a single exhaust.

its been done before... there was an issue of option2 that had a yellow fb with a s15 front end and tails...looked really clean.
At first I thought it was Super street playing an april fools joke. Unfortunatly, the article appears to be serious. I'm usually not one to diss someone's car, but that S13 was quite possibly too ricey even for Super street. Nothing on the car flows, the body work is horrible, and the interior looks like a reject from HIN. It seems this car is yet another frankenstein created just to wow mentally handicapped judges and recieve $5 plastic car show trophies. At least it doesn't have shadow fitment on the wheels. Now I know to each his own, but this car should not be in a magazine in 2006, it should be at the fast and furious casting call in 2001. at least it's a good example that throwing money at a car doesn't automatically make it attractive.
I saw a S15 rear 180 in option that was actually beautiful, with simple clean paint and a subtle bodykit. That would have been a much nicer example.

bodywork on the rear lights is crap, it couldve been better. crappy ass rear and side skirts though.

Maybe if they took that car and totally re-did everything to look like this, It would actually be cool.

A cool concept but poor execution. Maybe it would look better in person but the bodykit is doing way too much and the wannabe signal auto graphics are irritating. I wouldn't be surprised if it was an automatic.
How bout a link to an S15 converted S13 that actually looks good? I wanna see that.

That bumper is ugly. It's a Ferrari style. A 240 is not a Ferrari. That's like Blitz "style" bumpers that are made for every import car:ugh:
The conversion as a whole looks cool though (refering to the S15 with S13 front. No the original car posted)

i think the s13 to s15 rear looks pretty bad...but the s15 w/ the s13 front end is pretty badass.

S15 rear on the S13 ugly!
S14 Kouki rear on the S13, clean excution, but still strange IMO.
S15 with S13 front and the Ferrari style front bumper? Sick as Fuck!!! If you rocked that car people would just stare and trip for days.
story ending? S13 Kouki tails on a S13 fastback looks great and is the only rear end tailight conversion thats correct.
Also props for the R32 tails on the s13 coupe another tail conversion that works well.

the orange s13 with the complete s14 makeover loooks so goooood, has anyone else ever seen another car with that look?
MurdarioStomp
03-19-2006, 10:38 AM
i think the s13 with a stock front end looks good...people just seem to have too much money and want to be original or something...people regard the S15's styling as like the holy grail or something...fuck those tail lights on an S13
the black one doesnt look too bad, but i wouldn't want the ferrari ripoff front bumper...

I've seen this many times since it's local to Dallas and I agree with many of you about the look and the bodywork. So many people around here love it and I have no clue why. The engine work is better at least imo.

Ya that masa bumper is sick, and extremely expensive to the point of why bother. To the hater of S15 front ends on S13 fastbacks , its done because it does look good and the lines match up. It makes the car look a lot more current design wise as well, with Kouki tails.
Pop up headlights while cool, have become a dated look. Plus, the car while looking good in its stock state, does not have an extremely classic look to it. A FD would qualify for classic look, a s13 fastback, not in my opinion,at least not here in the states. Now a 240z thats a car that looks great and classic

OK that s15 with 180 front is freakin sweeeeet... the whole thread shouldve been about that instead of frankenstein up there. dont get me wrong whatever floats your boat, but come on those tail lights were never meant to be on that car they sit funny and too high
after seeing that picture in a mag i was almost convinced that the tuning world was coming to an end and the rice boys were now distorting our dearest nissans like they use to do with crx's and neons back in the day... why cant people just keep it clean. and Khmerguy618, his car is in a mag... but its super street not sport compact car, tpr, dsport or any other good car mag

not to rag on that guys car, but SCC is not really a good car magazine. its gotten WAY better, and is fairly entertaining, its just not as "tech" as somethign like GRM is.

i was simply stating the fact that the cars you see in the magazine are generally clean and not riced out with tv's in the rims and stuff like that s13.5 up above... its not very "tech" but it still is informative and interesting

the conversion is tight if done right! however it may appear to be riced out but he's putting 556 hp to the wheels with no nitros. so looks are not really he's concern. well i think that's original, seeing that every one out there likes to do all kinds of conversions to the 240's imo.
