You should do a Silvia Conversion!

[NiteKids]

Anyone else get annoyed with this comment about their car? It doesn't matter if you own a S13 Fastback, Coupe, S14 Zenki or Kouki it's always:

"You should do a Silvia Conversion"

or

"You should get the Silvia bumpers or whatever for it"

Yeah lets make a S13 hatch into a "Silvia." Whatever that means.

Also why is it the Kouki S14 is automaticly to alot of idiots a Silvia or a car with the "Silvia conversion." Why isn't the Zenki S14 a "Silvia" to people or a car with a "Silvia conversion."

what the heck is suposed to be a "Silvia conversion." sorry I'm just ranting and bored here at work. Cause the Silvia name doesn't signify anything! it's the J's, Q's and K's. Silvia is just a name. Also you can't forget the:

"You should get a Sylvia body kit for your car that would be tYtE DoGg!" ugh

[Dousan_PG]

i like watching dummies look for an intercooler at meets
someone said i should make my car a sil80. i just laughed and said "that's what posers do" he felt kinda uncomfortable. i found it amusing

anyways.....

Cuz they're so rare that ppl don't know they were made here. It shows that those people are rambling about cars that they know nothing about.

Eh? Not sure what you mean there. I'd say Silvia = JDM S13 coupe and S14 (and S12 and etc.).

It's kinda funny that some of those people who talk about Silvia conversions already call our USDM cars Silvias.

[Zemus]

I feel you guys, I get the "GOT AN SR IN THEIR" EVERY time i pull up to a import event. And even i get the silva thing, damn and they ALWAYS say "Well i read about Silvias in Super Street and Import Tuner"
GAWD its annoying

[xS1LV1Ax]

Hehe....i was thinking this a litlle while back when i frst got the car last year. Everytime someone came up to me to talk about the car....the "So, u gonna do the Silvia Front end conversion?" I just laughed......I knew they were talking about the S15 front end. Then i say "The S15?"....they are like "huh?? no the silvia". I dont want to be an ass so i just say ok and leave it at that.

Whatever....my car is no where near true silvia standards, but how come a lota people think that the only "Silvia" is the S15???

[NiteKids]

"DO YOU DRIFT!!!!!??" :rolleyes:

[ca18guy]

I was surprised the other day a the hobby shop on base working on something under the hood. The typical random import dude there came over and started talking to me about my car and he actually knew that I didn't have a sr20 (though he didn't know the actual engine name) It surprised me cause I ussually have to go over how I don't have a "US motor" and I don't have the all mighty SR either.

[Dousan_PG]

haha
i got that when i went to In n Out and everytime (everytime) i go get new tires (um...). i do drift but i dont like to talk about it...it only brings more stupid questions (like SR, silvia faces..etc etc)

LOL I like to say to them "What's an SR?"

[NiteKids]

SR....SIR SIR! Excuse me SIR!

[West]

Its worse for the KA-T owners. People dont seem to get that you can turbo the KA. Every few days the same person or a friend of theirs would be like, "so you got a SR20?" "No, its a KA24 factory motor with a turbo" then they would just look at you confused as hell and wont speak another word.

Saying I've heard that are anoying...

"Why dont you take off the 240sx emblem off and put a Silvia emblem on your car"

"Hey the guy with the Silvia is here"

[fairladyz]

What's up nitekid- u still want my wheels??j/k:D
Yeah, my friend used to have a 240SX and people would constantly come up to him asking if he's got SR20 under the hood. Some kids sometimes ask me if my car is twinturbo or not and I just say "NO it's NA" because I don't want to deal with those punk kids.:D

[Bbandit]

true true..
all the time :mad:

[AceInHole]

The worst was when someone asked me what kind of turbo I was gonna use... then suggested: "You should get a Bomex turbo for your car."

You know those stickers they have of the cartoon kid [pee]ing on other car brand logos and stuff?? I wonder if I could customize one to replace the logo with "SR20DET", not because I don't like the engine, but to [pee] off the newbies....

Edit: I can't believe they sensor the alternate word for pee.

[SimpleS14]

I know how you feel, I get comments all the time. Esspecially since I changed my front end and I have the JDM grille and emblem.


I but I do like it when people stare at my car with a face kinda like this:

[KoukiS14]

NiteKids: Thank you for this post!! You've hit on EVERY one of my peeves about my car, and the retarded phucktards that live in my area.

I'm so tired of people thinking I did something to my car to make it look that way. . haha

And, I HATE SYLVIA. .

How come nobody can understand it's not a Y haha

[Jeff240sx]

Them: "Is that a boost gauge?"
Me: "Nope."
Them: (looking closer at my pillar pod) "yea it is..."
Friend: "Dude! That's a SR20DET IN THERE! Dont fvck with that!"
Me: "Nope."
Them: "It's cool how you downplay your SR!"
Me: *anuerism*

That's about twice a day.. not that exact same dialog, but really close. (Well.. when it ran).
-Jeff

[KyoLo]

well, ppl tell me:
"DAMN, that's a nice car man........" so many times.......
kind of tired of hearing that, but i'm happy :D


one time ppl tell me what to do:
"dude, your suspensions' ****ed up, the car shakes like a biatch"....next day, i changed my suspensions, -__-||"

the other time ppl tell me:
"what's that rusty round under ur car?"....then i found out it's muffler leakage....... :eek: ...

last time i heard:
"hey, ur can can FLY~!!".... i said no because it's KA24DE STOCK!!

[BLiTz]

Dang, now you guys have got me down:( Due to a recent minor accident the front clip of my 92 SE FB is wrecked, and instead of replacing with stock parts that would range several thousand.(and the fact i don't really care for the power headlights) I was going to replace with S13 front, thus making my car one of the 400 Nissan Sil-80's(well through my eyes it would be[i love japan]) But i don't wanna be known on the board as the guy with the "Silvia Conversion" but i gotta do something, i hate drivin my car like it is...

[AKADriver]

Hey, don't take it the wrong way... Silvia front ends are cool

But, do it 'cause you like it, not because it's THE SILVIA CONVERSION YO!

You wanna make people look at you like you just sh*t out your mouth? Say "I'm pretty happy with the stock KA." Works every time. You get lots of :confused: and :eek: and even a little :mad:

[s14 RL]

Do whatever you want...who cares what ppl think :p ...If I were in your situation I'd do it because I like how it looks...personal opinion is what matters most. Same goes for rims, bodykit, spoiler, whatever...

But in the end it will probably be cheaper to find the front end parts from someone who already did the swap or maybe even from the junkyard.

[tnord]

that's nothin......

the last time i was at the track i go walking up to my car and some 13yr old is looking at it.......so i smile at him and get in. he runs around to my window and asks

kid: is this a skyline, i can't tell, there aren't any badges on it
me: nope, it's just a 240
kid: oh really, my dad said it was. you must be the fastest person out there, they have the same engine right?
me: well, it's just a 240, and i'm far from the fastest
kid: oh...........ok.......bye

so i pull up to false grid, not mad or anything, cause he was 13 or so.......when the kid and his dad come up to me....

dad: nice car ya got here, i got the 89 junker over there
me: oh that's cool, bit of a project huh?
dad: yeah, me and my buddy are thinkin about puttin a skyline engine in it
me: really?
dad: yeah, got the car for $500, anyway good luck, i gotta go work

at this point dad's buddy comes up to me

buddy: nice skyline
me: it's not a skyline, it's a 240
buddy: well they're basically the same
me: not really, they're way different
buddy: well they're based off the same chassis
me: no, different engine, chassis, way different cars

at this point the guy stares at me for a while.........and i just look forward and flip down my helmet visor.....

after i pull in and park (way far away from these dingbats) two other kids walk up to the car, and of course, i get the usual.......

kids: "wow, nice silvia..........we've been watching you drive......you're the fastest guy out there"
me: actually, i'm about 2 seconds slower than the leader, and that's just in my class
kids: well yeah, but there's vipers out there and $hit
me: yeah, they are about 20 seconds faster

just somethin you gotta put up with when you own these things

[adey]

HAHAHAHAHA... :D :p @ tnord
That's great! (not really... but at least it's something for us all to chuckle about on forums like this!)

[96SEChick]

Tnord--your experience is probably the best I've heard yet. The worst that's happened to me was a guy I worked with INSISTING that my car was a Honda Accord coupe. Even after I showed him the Nissan emblems he kept telling me he'd never heard of a 240SX and still thought it looked like a Honda.
:( :rolleyes: :confused: :eek:

What a nimrod!!

[tnord]

mind you this all took place at a legitimate competition event, with legitimate racers, at a legitimate racetrack........mind you my unfortunate encounters were with illinois hillbillies.

[NiteKids]

Kids in a Jeep at a gas station peeping to the rear of my car trying to see what car compnay logo was on it and they see the little tiny one in back. (Only nissan logo on the car other then stearing wheel)

"Is that a Skyline GTR!?"

"(Me being a smart ass) nah it's a Skyline GTS Single Turbo Rear wheel drive. RB25)"

"Oh man that's still tight as hell!"

Then of course in the end I told them what it really and they of course said something like:

"Oh you mean it's really a Silvia then?"

Ugh I got tired of the dumbasses and then finally left the gas station.

That's weird...because I thought I was the only one to get mistaken for a Honda.

This is a problem with ignorance. Also, you usually see the younger people (21 and under) asking questions like this.

I am sure some of you were gulty of this too, but after knowing more and growing up you change.

[misnomer]

Well y'know, politely correct them. Most idiots can be learned, and won't ask or spread bad information anymore. Anyhow, I haven't gotten any great questions like that yet. Don't see too many people around Reno enough into cars to know what's going on. Most of my friend's first impression when I give them a ride is "is this a v6?" which just sorta makes me smile :-)

Oh, and tnord, you're the most awesome asshole in the history of zilvia.net! You kick ass :-)

Yeah I get that Silvia conversion stuff with my Sileighty all the time.
http://www.thisboardrocks.com/forum/attachment.php?s=&postid=323456

"Hey, why don't you take that 180SX rear end off and make it a Silvia?" I just tell them I can't afford to. It would cost too much to ship it back to the states that way.:rolleyes:

[BLiTz]

HaHa, thanks for the imput guys...i know im gonna do what i really think is the most attractive to my car, and i belive the S13 tripple projector lights are alot more aggressive then the stock (flip-up) lights, haha...well anyway i hope i never have to deal with some of the idiot's you guys have come across. Well i guess all i can say is...good luck!

and GladHatter...i didn't think anyone in Japan would ever say anything like that!?!

i get the worst..

i dont even own a 240 or s chasis car. I own a nissan suv, and people be like, why dont you buy a 240 and do a silvia conversion...

answer to that is usually like.... uhh yeah im just made of money...

what id like to say...why dont you, and ditch that gay honda you *$#^$# F*%^er

Actually no one has...I was joking. But some idiot Silvia ownder did ask Glad Jr once if it was hard putting a 180SX rear end on his Silvia front. He just smiled and said. "Yes it was pretty tough."

A strawberry face is the S15 front end. "one five" in Japanese is the same as "strawberry" or "ichigo".

"you go a sr20 in there?"

"is that really a silvia?"

"do you guys drift?"

[kurissuS13]

ROFLMAO :p :D :p everyone has such great stories!

so far i've gotten:
-3 "looks for an intercooler"
-2 "business cards for shops that sell body kits"
-4 "when r u gonna put the silvia front?"
-6 "when r u droppin in an SR?."

common thread: all these ppl think that since i drive a 240, i have all the money in the world!

also got a "Do you drift?" asked at me once. i told the guy, "Does shopping cart drifting count?"

[fastpace]

yep one time at a autocross I was just getting ready to begin and a guy and a focus walks up to me and says, "you got a sr". And I say nope, but I am going to turbo the ka and a couple of years. He looks confussed and walks away.

S15 = 15 = 1-5 = ichi go = ichigo = japanese for strawberry. I either spelled something wrong there or screwed it up somehow, but that's the jist of it. Anyone that tells you to do a strawberry face conversion probably read an import mag with a 240sx with an S15 front end.... or (shudder) some other car with an S15 front end.

LOL! just yesterday i was getting new tires at Discount Tire and this is how the conversation went:

worker: Is that a real silvia?
me: no its a 240sx with the stock KA
worker: (confused look on his face) well my friend's got one of these with the silvia motor in it, but he's going to put a skyline engine in it though.
me: oh, thats cool. Bet its gonna be fast now huh.
worker: oh yeah, its gonna be expensive, but its gonna be tight.

:rolleyes:

Hypothetically speaking, if I had told him that my car, being in its stock USDM form, in fact was a REAL Silvia.....then what's a FAKE one?

:confused:

[Danio]

I think Silvia conversions are awesome. I do like looking at them. I just personally wouldn't get one and get tired of people assuming that I plan on getting an S15 front end.

Actually the majority of people still don't know what my car is (1998 240SX) when they see it. If they recognize it it's usually a Silvia. o_o

Two have asked if it's a Honda. -_-;

[91CRXsiR]

dang, where do you guys live? more the people around here know what my car is...


now my corolla thats another story..

IS THAT A HACHI ROKU intial D car oh gawd

[-E-]

them: so you got an SR under the hood
me: No!
them: are gonna put an SR in
me: No! Gonna turbo the Ka motor
them: :confused:
them: No! dont get a turbo is gonna coast you over 5 grand, get an SR its cheaper
me: :rolleyes:

[KoukiS14]

This gas station attendent that plays Gran Turismo a lot looked at my S13, and started making comments "Wow what is that?"

I said "It's a Nissan 240sx, if you play GT you may be familiar with the 180sx, which is the same car with a different engine."
He goes "Nah, the 180sx is much bigger"

Then he goes on to tell me how he likes the Mitsubishi 3000gt in the game (which was the TRD 3000GT)... I tried explaining the difference, and he was stumped "Nah, the 3000gt is mitsubishi"

Some guy asked if my car was a Camaro once. I said, yes, yes it is.

But, yeah... the Skyline thing is REALLY annoying, apparantly there are a LOT of people out there that think 240sx is the USDM version of a Skyline lol. . Hell, I've seen evidence enough on eBay...

[vg30s12]

LOL--I was thinking the same thing, as well as being the only person to admit someone mistook my car for a Honda! hehe

I've had my S12 hatch confused with an AE86 before.......

As far as the Silvia name goes, it's really the name of the platform, so in that sense a 240SX is just a USDM S13 Silvia. It just happens to have a different engine for this market, and both the hatch and the coupe use the 180SX (also technically a Silvia) front clip.

I have described my car to people who weren't familiar with it as "S12 Silvia platform, VG30E engine" That's another platform/engine combination that's unique to the USDM. Elsewhere, S12's only got CA18ET's (also offered in the US) or FJ20ET's.

[AKADriver]

I miss my S12 :(

Yeah, I used to explain it that way also. "It's an older version of the Silvia."

[KoukiS14]

I'm thinkin' bout gettin an S12...
What engine is the one to go for? the vg30e? or CA?

[nrcooled]

I love the

Them-"Man you should really put an SR in that"
Me-"I already have one why would I want another"
Them- [realizing they can bull$hit me anymore] walk away

or the absolute best is ask to drive the car. Why in Gawd's name would I let a complete stranger drive my car. "Can I drive your car....dumba$$

Hahaha some real classic ones. "Do you drift?" is the usual. Now I remember why I hide my car when I go to parking lot parties to check out what's around.

[Ryan of Velocity]

What you guys are bringing up on this thread is the main reason I can bring myself to build an S13:p

I have no patience for dumbasses.

dumbass: Is that a real Sylvia?
me: No, and by the way you said that I know you probably spell it with a Y. Shut the f#&ck up and go away.

[AKADriver]

Originally posted by KoukiS14

You'll get a lot of opinions on this from the S12 faithful...

The VG30E is easily the 'no-brainer' model. It came with all the best parts, stock, and it's probably the most reliable variant. It's also very heavy, though, around 2900lb.

The CA18ET model is my personal favorite from a driver's perspective, being about the same weight and power as an S13. They're flaky, though... the CA18ET has a lot of problems.

The CA20E cars are very light, but their mediocre power output is no picnic either way. They have no rear swaybar and only a token front swaybar, tons of body roll.

If I did the S12 thing again... I'd find a clean CA18ET shell with a dead engine (not too uncommon) and drop in a KA24.

[LonelyDoridori]

Although I do agree with a lot of these annoyances, the "What motor do you have?" question is pretty damn legit, given that it's not coming from some riceboy who will suggest you swap in a B18C.

Anyways, I was evesdropping on a group of ricers at school (Rutgers) on Tuesday... It's amazing how FRICKIN DUMB some people are..

"YO, that new 350Z is mad tizzite!!"
"Word, I heard its got a 5 cylinder"
"word?"
"Not even a four cylinder!!" (OMG! Who would've thunk it?!)

They then proceeded to look for bodykits online while arguing about the biggest blingin rim size you can fit on some Acura :rolleyes:

[vg30s12]

CA18ET's are decently reliable as far as I know, and very tuneable. My personal favorite is of course the VG30E. True, it's a couple hundred pounds heavier, but the torque is great. It's really like a little muscle car, it's got a larger engine than it really needs. It's a blast. For drifting I'd go with a Turbo.

If you really want to get an answer to this question from a variety of sources (with the most thorough combined knowledge of S12's anywhere) you should check out the Forum at Club S12 at www.club-s12.org. Several members have custom-manufactured parts or how-to's available for S12's, including cone filter adapters for all engines, front and rear strut tower bars, various Z31 parts swaps, engine swaps, custom engines, and more. This Club was just started in spring of 2002, it grew out of the old Classic 200SX Yahoo! mailing list, and has grown by leaps and bounds, there are now over 275 registered S12 nuts!

I have come to the conclusion that most of the people in the world are retards. Nothing you can really do about it. And by the way, Nissan does not look anything like Honda or Ford, what the fcuk were those people thinking.

[Legacy]

I see nothing wrong with a S13 Silvia front end on a S13 chassis. I'm gonna put a S13 Silvia front on my Fastback... does that make me a poser?

You shouldn't hate considering you're the guy with K's Emblems on your car with a KA24DE... hehe.

BTW, I'm seeing your car every know and then out in front of the boat.

[NiteKids]

The whole point is that "silvia conversion" doesn't even mean anything.

Well Atleast not for S14's for the most part

and most of the people saying "Silvia conversion" really have no idea what they are even talking about

[vg30s12]

I have come to the conclusion that most of the people in the world are retards.

That's a very good assumption to make, especially when you are on the road. I've always tried to drive as if every other car on the road was driven by a drunken chimpanzee, who is always going to do the stupidest thing he can possibly do. It's kept me out of trouble so far.

That's pretty funny, because I do the exact same thing.

I've always got the "drift" question from the drive through guy everytime I pull into the local McDonalds. Before I did my kouki conversion people thought I drove an MX-6, and as always, the whole SR question. I usually just say to them...nah that's ok, I want to be unique and keep my KA. It seems that everybody and their mom wants to buy an SR, even if they don't drive a 240.

[vg30s12]

. It seems that everybody and their mom wants to buy an SR, even if they don't drive a 240.

I guess I'm somewhat lucky to be in OK--where pretty-much nobody knows about Skylines, Silvias, or SR's. Tulsa's just over-loaded w/ body-kitted, windshield-wiper-squirter-lighted, valve-stem-cover-lighted, 3-spoke-rimmed, fart-canned, flame-painted, single-windshield-wipered, slammed-to-the-ground, blue-headlight-bulbed, Blitz-Sparco-APC-APC-APC-APC-Apex-i-Mugen-stickered, altezza-lighted, "drifting-accidented" Hondas with Japanese-Chinese-Philpino-Russian-Spanish lettering all over them.

I think WeST originally wanted this to be a 300ZX and Silvia (240SX) board, hence the name Zilvia. On the zilvia.net homepage, it says "board for the 300ZX and 240SX). Also, the logo says "240SX - 180SX - Silvia - Sil-Eighty - Z32" below "Zilvia.net"

You know, it really does not surprise me the level of uneducated people out there on the streets that either don't know about our cars or only know stuff that they have SEEN in Stupid Street, Import Tuner or any of the other magazines. These magazines do not even get the information 100% acurate in most cases.

Our cars have been commonly mistaken for: Ford Probes, Mazda MX-6's, Honda Prelude's, Honda Accord Coupes, Skylines, etc. (I am sure other people out there can name more).

Walk down the street and watch for somebody doing the absolute stoopidest thing you can imagine. Now realize that 50% of the world's population is STUPIDER than that.

These people out there should be educated, but sometimes you just got to be like "Uh huh, sure, whatever you say" and go on your way. Silvia conversions for S14's really mean nothing if you were going to put a JDM Silvia front end on the car from another S14. Now if you wanted to put an S13 or S15 front end on the car, then that might mean something. I love my car and would not bother doing something like that now (However the S13 front end on an S14 is a rather interesting looking swap). The only thing worthwhile to me to do to the front would be to put on the German (Euro Spec) headlights (I mean besides doing bodykits).

Ford probe looks like the 240sx hatchback(180sx), and the mx-6 looks like the s14. I HATE THAT, I HATE THOSE CARS, theyre so friggin ugly. arrrrrg. especially when fools fix up their probs and mx6's. i bet they wish they had 240sx'

Man i dont get the big deal with the front end conversion. All i ever hear is, "man you got pop-up headlights that kicks ass"
