Hey just wanted to post pictures of the parts that we now have for the exterior of her car...Everything will be molded and redone in Carbonkevlar(just because I can),including the truck lid and the doors
The widebody is a 03 min garage tiburon knock off that will be made to fit the car, S15 headlight conversion, custom vented hood, 18" X10.5" wide Kaotic Innovation Tantrums(my own rims and i mean it like i make em), and a soon to be replica R1 wing in carbon kevlar with ck stands, R33 Taillight conversion, Full tilt front end, reverse tilt trunk, and last but not least scissor lift doors
If you guys like the kit and other parts most of the parts i can reproduce for a bolt on application, all except for the taillights

The hood scope/vents makes it look like an all-trac celica....

well atleast it will have a RB in it, from what i can tell from the pics, so it might have some ballz, to require 10 inch wide wheels you best have like 500HP+ To back thats s hit up, or it will totaly be a sheep in wolfs clothing

thats cool thanks for your input, iguess i got to go get ready for the casting for f&f3 hummmm:(
Seriously thanks for the reply bbandit, we hope the car will look very trick, and have the go to back it up...
other replies welcome and instead of saying it looks like **** why not give me pionts on what specific things you would do....
Dousan_PG
03-27-2003, 12:10 PM
ill give points
the bumpers (f and r) are what most of ushate. why its what u see ona show civic
same goes with the color of the bumpers, thats a ricey show car type color.
the sideskirts have all sorts of vents.
the rear bumper has that 'aero' stuff going on ground control type junk which you dont need.
the hood has a scoop facing the front, now unless you are doing a top mount intercooler or an intake on the hood there's no point. its for LOOKS
the wheels you said were custom adn the sizes sounded good so no worries there. the engine, soundsli ke your on the ball for that
the mesh on the bumper looks tacky
the spoiler is hideous
ugh that whole rear bumper is digusting.
the r33 lights are just more rice to it. its tacky. you arent a r33, why look like one?
now someone can say 'what about the engine'. putting a RB in a 240sx is no easy task, that takes lots of hard work and fabbing.
r33 taillights take a lot of bondo.
the s15 headlights..ugh. s15 lights and coupes dont mix well. fastbacks they do mix much better, but since you got the whole show stuff going on, it guess its ok
i guess thats it for now
also is that seat going in our car? it needs a serious cleaning. the dual pattern looks pretty ricey too
anyways, these are my thoughts, dont take offense to it or anything personal. i shoudl give you my thoughts because i said i didnt like it. its good to see you are open to suggsetions and all that.
Dousan_PG
03-27-2003, 12:20 PM
also
your car is great for SHOW stuff
but REAL enthusiest (i cant spell) who often track or autox their car will just laugh
you need a CLEAN car that's going to get a nod of approvall from al
wide body? this is CLEAN widebodies:
very few poeple can say 'that doesnt look good' when looking at this. and if you look at it:
clean body kit

thats my thoughts
clean, simple bodies, bumpers and modifications. nothing fancy or extravant. i dont think many can say those look like ass. its great for the custom body kit and all, but it just doesnt flow right. looks just like another civic. why do i say that/ because after all those body mights (headlights, taillamps, wide body) you cant ell what the original car is. its like seeing a civic w/ a S14 front end and R32 taillights.
I think that blue color is the gelcoat that GTP/Import Fan/knockoff city uses. Not the actual paint color.

maybe it looks ricey because its not done yet
let see how this project came out
i'd like to see a widebody s13 coupe with s15front and skyine rear + rb
if its done nicely.. it'll probably come out clean
oh.. and color will also give rice points..
be sure not to paint the car with very very bright colors
very very bright color+ huge stickers = rice/people will see it as rice)
i know its going to be fun working on huge project like that
i wish i can help

its ugly but I will give you props for doing it yourself.
The wide body and the RB will most definately win some car shows, if thats not what your going for then its a waste. But for a show car (even though I hate them) your doing good I guess, excpet i think the color is odd, I never really liked baby bue cars.
although I hate it, it does make a good show car, but the hood scoop is kind of pointless, and I am not too sure how people judge those contests but its pointless, and I don't think it looks good since you are going for looks.
Although if you were to get a different style hood similar to the one on Nismo 400R (if you used that blue IIRC its champion blue or something, it would be better off, yours is too light).
And on the R33 lights that wull win you show points if you do it right, but I don't think it will look too good on an s13 koop. You should have gotten R32, its an easier fit, and still has the mAD tYtE JDM skYLinE name on it.
P.S. NO GTR badges (I don't see them, but just a heads up), don't put any badges that will win you show points too.

03-27-2003, 03:22 PM
let me look at this from a different perspective. that of form. and composition. This is opinions from the eye of an art student.
let start with something that will really stand out. the s15 headlights have a certain flow to it. a really curvy feeling. where as the style of the coupe is not like that. its for the most part square. thats why the jdm s13 lights look so good on them. as for the rear lights. i don't know what to say. i think its pretty bold to claim part skyline. but since there's going to be an RB, i guess.but thats not looking at it in form. back to form view. the body kit. too many little vents and lines and hoots and nennys and junk. weighs the car down compositionally because the car is so simple. over all i say the one thing that mite not work are those s15 headlights clashing with the shape of the car and rear lights. but thats my view.
my view from being a nissan lover. poor car. its like putting expensive jewelry and nice clothes on you girlfriend becuase she doesn't look good enough for you. the car is beautiful on its own. with maybe a jdm s13 front.
but. on the good side. the big wheels will balance out the kit. and hopefully the rb will be succesfully intalled. wide bodies are nice. if clean of course. you know what you could try is. find tailights that also flow like the s15 headlights. or switch to the s13 headlights. and that hood scoop should either be functional or not there.
but this is just what i think. i'm not claiming all supreme ruler of all that is looks. so hope this helps in any way. i want to see the car finished. i wished i had that much cash.

yellow duct tape with finish line pattern down the center... ****, that would seem more his style.
I also agree that stylistic it clashes, with the round taillights, rounded, sleek front end matched up the sharp lines of the s13 coupe and the bodykit.
I have never thought that s15 headlights looked good on s13's, its just too clashing.
Tuck&Poke
03-27-2003, 04:19 PM
well, i dont really like to fame people cause everybody has their own style, but everbody pretty much has an idea of whats tacky yadda yadda. You have a lot of good ideas mixed with a lot of bad ideas.
Good ideas = a wide body s13 is badass if done right, and the rb motor is another good idea. You also got the super wide rims which i like too.
Bad Ideas = the bodykit is tooooo flashy, too many scoops and lines that disrupt those of the car. the hood scoop isnt all that. the s15 headlights and R33 tails do not mach the car at all rewplayff said, the s15 headlights shape dont mach taht of the boxy s13, and the r33 tails is overkill. I have seen nice 240's with those gt wings...but im not a particular fan of them, so i wouldnt want to see it, but i can let that slide for the show effect.
i say you keep with the good ideas and just give the car a clean look w/o all those scoops and ****. get some super deep dish wheels and your set.

Crofty59
03-27-2003, 05:08 PM
1. the color of the car is going to be House of Color Black and a design with Orion Silver (ghosted flames in the silver)
2. Look at all the widebody cars everyone of them has a wing and 90% are aluminum or cf
3. the car will weigh less after I am done b/c of the replacement of cf parts in compairison to the sheet metal
4. the body kit is just taped in place so i could figure out where to make the cuts to wrap the bumpers around for blending
5. S15 lights in a notch, a bold move when all are doing the hatch
6. R33, free.99 thats right freedollars and freecents, if you gottem makem work, I just wanted to have something different and r32s are used to often, also I wanted something on the body to match the engine
7. sideskirts are still on order with the rear fender flares and I just used a pair of civic ones that i have lying around for blending
8. hood: well I have 15 different hood scoops to use and this was just an idea....i have several different hoods planned, I also use simple scoops to cool the engine just b/c its not flowing through a monster intercooler doesn't mean there is no use...vents cool the engine(either sucking cool air in or letting hot air out
9. This is my wife's car, she wants show, go, and some comfort so the seats are getting done silver were all is blue or green
10. rims: chose them b/c thats what we like and i have the five lug conversion ready
11. To finish, all points are noted and some things will change and some will not...thank you for your opinions, once again my wife's icebreaker peice is her car and i want her to be able to carry on about what is done to it forever...she is also helping to build it so she can talk the industry talk and know what it means instead of reiterate what i tell her and sound dumb as hell

03-27-2003, 06:07 PM
i personally dont like the kit choice..
i think there is a target aero style front bumper in there somewhere? WHITE fiberglass? pic 101_0042 i would stick w/ that.
the R32 tails would flow allot better w/ the Coupe and they are like 100 bucks on eBay. you could sell your 33 tails and get 32. but thats up to you.
the hood scoop i would do a reverse scoop so it lets out the hot air.. sorta like a vented hood. i can use my imagination and this car if done right will look really nice.. and everyone i think will agree if the lines flow well.. but i dont see that happening w/ the coupes boxy roofline. all in all its a promising project if your skill is up to par. good luck.
oh.. are those polyurethene kits for GTP? the ones that flex ?

I agree completely. I can't wait to see it when it's done. I love the fact that you're doing all of this yourself, too! The rims are gorgeous as well. Keep us posted w/ some pics!!

03-27-2003, 09:57 PM
All in all, my opinion is it's way to flashy. But, this coming from one of the most conservative folks on the forum, take it for what it's worth. I definitely am not a fan of the bumpers. Those and the example vents you put on the hood just make the lines of the car much to busy. It is slick that y'all are doing all the work yourself, and I'll withold final judgement untill it's done (You would be suprized what a proper paint job can do).

Does no one understand that tape was their so that the parts would stay on.. IMO you shouldent have show what it looked like before, i think you should have waited till it was done, but i think it will be very unique, and if you want to be really cool, learn how to drift and get some suspention and drivetrain stuff, and then your car will have a showy body with capabilitys and use for those wide ass rims :-D

03-27-2003, 10:13 PM
I am with the few that say go for it. This industry is all about what you want to do. That is why there are so many parts out there for different cars. They always say the beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. Well I think if you have the skills that you say you do this car will come out looking very clean and mean. You will have the capabilities to back up the looks of being a bad ass machine. But as I have said before the industry is about being different. And you are proving that. I say good luck to you and I want to see pics as soon as you are done.

hes not trying to be cool, i dont think, hes trying to build this car up for his wife, so if ur definition of cool includes drifting she should be the one to learn how to do it lol he's already cool in my book, cuz hes doin something a lil different, and on the edge, that no one likes except a handful of people oh and his definition or his wifes definition of cool may not be drifting, dontcha think? lol :cool: oh and yah im not knocking ur post Oni, just stating my opinion :)
hey crofty59, didnt you say you were making that mx6 kit that was somewhat like the saleen kit? do you work for andys autosport?? cause they have the same kit already out....hmmm....

Honestly, you would have been better holding off on the pics until you finished (for the before/after type shots).
As it stands, it's really hard to gauge how it's going to look by just a few pieces temporarily taped in place. Either this project is going to look really ricey and ugly, or dope as hell.
edspecR
03-28-2003, 01:29 AM
i agree very much with nismos14. just be an individual, forget what other people think. your the one making it for your wife, not us. also, your wife probably likes you for who you are.. not for what other people tell you who you should be. so yeah
also, most of the people in here dont have the intelligence to see that the blue is not the final color (duh...its the polyurethane) and obviously he doesn't have the thing painted yet. and they dont have the imagination to picture the car with a non-rice paint job and no tape with all the seams molded. i think it'll look aite.
i think it takes some mad skill to do all that body work by yourself.
not that this thread is all praise and fine and dandy ****. as much as i dont want to put my opinion here...i kinda gotta. i really like my 240. and im prety sure others in here like their own as well, you shoulda posted those pics in a forum filled with show and no go type people (the rb is real nice tho...stock but its nice ;), since most of the heavy duty stuff is on the exterior. the wing i think is kinda wrong. it matches the coupe maybe cuz its all straight and edgy, but then change the s15 lights. o well i could say alot more, but i'd be clashing with myself and the post would get wayy longer than it already is. latez

hey thanks for your support and pointers on the stuff...just remember the car is getting a fully preped engine from dave hickman racing and It will have the go to back the body work I hope. I was told it was an rb26det to support the all wheel drive but then someone one here said I got an rb25...???Will it still support the allwheel? probablly not but for the price I paid, once again free.99 or freedollars and freecents, it will work.
All the stuff is fiberglass and not urethane.
I am the ex director of r&d for andy's autosport. All the kits on the new kit page except for the new stratus and zx2 were made by me and my molding crew. many of their kits were cut and paste to make it fit the cars but i didn't like that so i started kaotic innovations to create kits from the ground up such as the sallen s7 look.
I am going to post pictures of the project throughout the stages just to up my post count and hopefully get some of the board members to stop by the shop. My wife and I share a house in Milpitas right next to the golfland and I was hoping to debue the body work in about a monthand a half at the next 240 gathering in milpitas.
once again things will change about the car and I will keep you posted, as a matter of fact i will send Nismo14 the pictures to post if he will accept them

i dont thin you understood what dorifto was saying. the R chassis has a COMPLETELY different front suspension. its wider as well iirc. im no expert but i cant recall ANYONE In Japan OR the USA who's used the FULL 4wd system on a S chassis. use the RB25 tranny and make it RWD
i dont think its possible on S chassis to keep the 4wd
might call mckinney motorsports in santee, california for more info on Rbs, they do RB swaps and VERY knowledgable
i think its
www.mckinneymotosports.com
if not, just google it.

Question... doesn't fiberglass make flapping sounds at high speeds? Isn't Urethane better? Reason I ask is because my friend Eric wants give me his Nismo style kit (we haven't talked about $ yet lol) and its made from fiberglass. I would HATE the flapping noise;how the hell would you prevent that?

Crofty... I see some future for you: Let Dousan and I carry out one end of you business... making fiberglass kits for drifters (not quality, just quantity...as in they WILL break, so make them a quality that will enable cheap price for replacement, etc...). I can either pen you some designs that would really fly with the general public interested in our cars (1 rear bumper, 1 sideskirt, 3/4 front bumper variations). We can represent your company at drift events, and chit, if I got good bodykit deals out of this (hee hee), I would even bring my chipped-up, cracked frp, low-to-be-scraping dori machine to a car show or two...:rolleyes: and then make fun of it or soemthing! Hahaha! Right Dousan!? Seriously though.... US needs a cheap bodykit source. If you maek them cheap, more people buy them (cause S13 drivers are CHEAP motherf_ckers!) and THATS how you get your profit, not by super high quality and perrrrrrrfect fit like OEm or GP SPorts etc... ($$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$). Somethin to consider. Send me an Email or PM if you want some sketches and/or my fully developed proposal (I would have sent you a PM but Zilvia is weird and I never know when I have PM's util liek the day or 2 after..)
TTYL! p.s. As much as I don't agree with the style you are going for, the craftmanship from your work has looked excelent from the other kits and parts I have seen.

I was told it was an rb26det to support the all wheel drive but then someone one here said I got an rb25...???Will it still support the allwheel? probablly not but for the price I paid, once again free.99 or freedollars and freecents, it will work.
All the stuff is fiberglass and not urethane.
I am the ex director of r&d for andy's autosport. All the kits on the new kit page except for the new stratus and zx2 were made by me and my molding crew. many of their kits were cut and paste to make it fit the cars but i didn't like that so i started kaotic innovations to create kits from the ground up such as the sallen s7 look.
I am going to post pictures of the project throughout the stages just to up my post count and hopefully get some of the board members to stop by the shop. My wife and I share a house in Milpitas right next to the golfland and I was hoping to debue the body work in about a monthand a half at the next 240 gathering in milpitas.
once again things will change about the car and I will keep you posted, as a matter of fact i will send Nismo14 the pictures to post if he will accept them
i'll definately accept the pictures and post them up for you, if u need my e-mail address again its
[email protected] im definately curious to see this final product :)

heh... happy my girlfriend doesnt have a widebody.
I applaud your creativity and originality. If your going to do it go all the way don't hold back. Only thing I would like to offer is do something different with the rear spoiler. Your car is going to be so original an Aluminum spoiler would just bring back to the usual show stuff. Also if it where me I would do just one hood vent. Too many makes it look too busy. Take may opinions with a grain of salt. It's seems like you know what you and your wife want anyways. I can't wait to see when it is done. It's also really cool your wife is into the widebody kit. Good luck on your work.

guys thanks and if you need a drifting kit tell me what you want, I do kits for other companies and for idividual car clubs such as the drifters..a socal drifting club. They all run the same kit and same white color on their cars...the only thing that stops others is my cost for molding and providing the car(s) to build the kits.
Also I am going to contact acouple of people that deal in nissans to see what I may be able to do about getting the awd system in...My wife is currently a drifter in another 240sx se 1990, and that is the car i am taking over after this project for the same treatment...
If you want in on a peice of my abilities its as simple as "show me da money". :D :D,
Anyways I think with the pointers we have made the final decisions with the exception of the wing and the taillights. And the project commencment will be the12 b/c hin is this weekend and edwin happens to know a few thing and one of the thing he knows is: there is definitly going to be rice and were there is rice you will find me with a spoon.:D :D . All are welcome at the shop anytime you would like and thanks for looking at my previous work to be honest I really didn't like to many of the cars the way they turned out.
