Kouki 180sx Aero thread

[Z33dori]

does any one have the part numbers for the OEM aero

need it for:
Front Bumper
Bumper Lip
Side Skirts
3pc Rear Valance
wing

[lflkajfj12123]

Nismoparts.com - Your #1 Source for OEM Parts and Accessories (http://www.nismoparts.com/)

add the parts to the cart and you'll get the numbers

you're also going to need the bumper extensions

good luck getting a lip word on the street is that nissan discontinued making them

i just finished getting all those parts

[Z33dori]

thanks soap

[RussellM]

Check out the link below for several pieces. The Front Lip is discontinued through Nissan so you may have to source a used one or maybe someone has a new one still sitting on the shelf somewhere.

[biggie180sx]

gettin all that new might be alittle hard especially that lip. i got one on the street and had to pay 450 for it i was searching for like 6 months and thats the only one i found so if you find a used one jump on it

[CrimsonRockett]

Thank god I managed to come across an entire Kouki 180sx front end today(literally, everything including the lip).

The lip was the last thing I needed to finish my front end.

So, I bought an entire spare 180 front instead...just for the lip.

Haha.

[Brian]

Does the OEM bumper with the Lip sit lower than the Version Select bumper?

[lflkajfj12123]

no sir

pretty much the same

lip is just molded in (not sure if they took a mold with the weatherstripping under the lip or not which would make it protude a bit more)

benefits of oem

urethane and + street cred

[lflkajfj12123]

Looks like Brian and I are already members lol

[lflkajfj12123]

count me in too

mrmcgarret - the cut is fine but whoever cut it must of done it the wrong way?

http://img25.imageshack.us/img25/6910/mg2188.jpg

that's how you cut a kouki bumper, you gotta leave the protruding edge on the plate mounting area

maybe just take a day and mold it a bit?

[Brian]

haha, Michael McGarret is in the lip+Ganador club.

[kalypso123]

those guys get tougher by the day

[MrMcgarrett]

My license plate covers it pretty good.
I have a Group A vent like MrFairlady has in the last pic he posted.
I might cut out the rest of the license plate area and mold it into the bumper.

[Z33dori]

Brain what did u use for the 2 side vents off the plate bracket
http://bhworld.files.wordpress.com/2009/06/0606091504.jpg

tho i don't think u can pull that off w/o the plate bracket.... i might try to mic some things up if i go Kouki...

[lflkajfj12123]

r33 gtr n1 carbon fiber duct vents

[Brian]

maybe i'm tired so i dont understand what youre asking.

[lflkajfj12123]

maybe i'm tired so i dont understand what youre asking.

he said what are the vents from

and i think i'm a babychild and won't cut out the plate mounts i think

ITHINK

[Z33dori]

yea nvm that would look terrible... just looked threw my Hot Road collection...

those wouldn't work at all..

god why does the stock kouki look so amazing...

[Brian]

I have GTR33 N1 vents as well as a cut out license plate frame

[Z33dori]

okay... thanks.

yea i was think of putting those w/ the group A vent... then pictured it.. and it looked terrible. The group A vent is so wide. So those would only work with the OEM bumper.

Every time I see your car, I think "Damn, car is full of so many cool/rare parts, but it's SO many different colors. This guy needs to get his car painted..."

Haha.

After getting rid of what I don't need from the front end(fenders/hood/headlight assemblies etc), the complete Kouki front with lip/lights/extensions would cost me less than the lip itself as well.

Good deals are awesome.

[vespaman]

no more front lip??

NO WAY!!

i should have bought it long time ago

fuck my life :(

[MrMcgarrett]

lol
I need to clean up my driver side rear quarter panel and finally decide on a color.
So many colors look good on kouki'd S13's it's hard to choose.

[CrimsonRockett]

That's true.

Sucks to see Nissan discontinue the lip.

I'm sure whatever used lips that are left out there are going to start fetching what they would go for NEW(which sucks, but what can you do).

Go with a custom color.

Mine is still going to be red, but it'll be a custom mix.

[MrMcgarrett]

I want to paint it Honda Atomic Blue.

thats the mother fuckin hotness on the right

[turbo_dreams]

Op, if all else fails and you can't find a lip to pull off the kouki front, Just slap a xenon lip on the chucki front and wait till the day you find a kouki lip. Btw, what's the whole kit costing you to get new?

[94_240sx]

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v703/Mrfairlady/email2.jpg


Damn, I'm impressed. You have a good taste obviously. If I were you, I'd get these and install them just for the hell of it. You know because they are rare and original. Nissan could have designed better than this though.

[Brian]

I love type x !!!!!!!!!!!

[Z33dori]

my buddy was rocking kouki aero so long ago..... but now i look back it doesn't matter b/c he has no Lip
http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j104/Zilvia13/24zeroandrubi.jpg

I always figured the lip version was the hot road version... not an actual oem lip

[lflkajfj12123]

lip is part of the optional sports package

same goes for rear valences and carbon kevlar panel

[landins13]

ooOOOOOOooooooooOOOOoOOOoOOo pretty

[Z33dori]

oh i thought the rear valance was standard. that's cool.

Idk it's been ages since i've scanned through the pics of the 180sx brochures

[lflkajfj12123]

i posted the scans in brian's build thread i think

[ZX88]

when going type x if you currently have a chuki front do you need to buy type x fender extension brackets are they really nessesary?

[MrMcgarrett]

Yeah you do.
They have little tabs that stick out that go into the extension.

[lflkajfj12123]

:rofl::rofl::rofl:

[CrimsonRockett]

:rofl:

I don't think more people are going Kouki.

I just think all of the people that used to be Kouki(or already are) are posting in this thread making it seem like a lot.

The difference is, some people pull it off cleaner than others.

Yes, I know/realize that I need a new garage door.(We just finished building a new fence. So, new garage door is currently in the works.)

Haven't bothered to properly fit it either. Being held on by two bolts.

Coming off for paint this month anyway.

[lflkajfj12123]

I'd do the same but my car is six colors and is sitting on two flat tires.
Looks like shit!

[Matej]

Do these bumpers not come with the emblem? Does Nissan sell it?

[lflkajfj12123]

doesnt come with emblem

i think normal nissan symbol fits? not sure haven't tried yet

[kuruptR]

I kinda wanna try slammed with no-lip, think it would look cool

^^^^^17s or 18s looks good

[sr20drifter1]

Old set up:

drill and bolts?? is that really a question

[GREXS14]

drill and bolts?? is that really a question


I was just wondering if anyone actually drilled the holes to mount them the oem way or use double sided tape and just attach the front and the rear like I did.

[Z33dori]

:rofl:

I don't think more people are going Kouki.



idk ever since VS came out with the V6 kit there seems to be a shit load. But as for actual Legit OEM guys... there is a pretty decent amount that have been around.... they have just been hiding

[MrFairlady]

Do these bumpers not come with the emblem? Does Nissan sell it?
I've got The emblem off my old Kouki bumper (i shaved it).Mine came on there w/ all the lights when I got it used of course.

I guess We can Still get the lip from Vanquish Equipment Replica or even the Badass GT1 Front.Need diff sides to pull it off though.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v703/Mrfairlady/Kouki%20180sx/3231289032_66b16db7ef_o.jpg

I'm rocking Version Select Now though.More Pics tomorrow now that my car can Finally see the daylight/running.

[MrMcgarrett]

MrFairlady are those P45r's?
17x9.5/18x9.5?

[MrFairlady]

MrFairlady are those P45r's?
17x9.5/18x9.5?
Yup,..though 17x9 front (18x9.5 +15 rear)...they didn't really have the size or offset in the front that I wanted when I bought them.They were orig that Blk w/ red lip Shit.I hate it so I rattled them bronze.Thats all I could get.

[MrMcgarrett]

Damn your rattle can bronze looks better then the bronze finish they're available in lol
I planned on getting the 17x9 +25 and the 18x9.5 +20 and painting them black.

well in that case, i bet shine auto would be interested in making a replica if someone can set up a gb, the only thing that sucks is that it usually takes 6-12 months,

[Brian]

Why?
I'm PRETTY sure there are already fiberglass lips being sold here...

Replicas S some D anyways.

There are already replicas readily available.... if that is the route you want to do.

[Z33dori]

yea why buy fiberglass lip

when u can just buy the whole front set up as oem piece.... Version select... they took care of all the hard work.

Naawwwwt Really.
Took care of everything but fitment.
Its Very NICE Construction don't get me wrong.Your car has to be Excellent fitment/setup Fenders and Headlights wise to get everything to line up good.
Mine Looks a tad better than it is.Going the Zip Tie Route only because of Ease of removal becauses its Uber low.I Mounted the STock (modified) center Support bracket to Hold it all up good on the headlight Mounts.Everything else I tried to use the factory stuff but Not worth Breaking the Bumper to use the other CRAZY brackets.

I think all in all it was $340 for the bumper and about $90 for the vent.ALOT Cheaper than Kouki bumper,brackets (2),Lights,side extensions & the lip.

If there were other options Readily avail: GT1,hot road then this is best of what we've got.
I Miss my whole OEM Setup but i would litterally DIE if I broke my kouki Lip!!!
Seen on the Break Ito Drift Tengouku video where he snaps his on his old Red 180sx.

yea some one on here was selling a Carbon Fiber one for like 900 bucks.... but that was forever ago....

[Brian]

900 for a TYPE X lip..... HAHAHAHA
insane.

yeah,yeah,yeah well OEM = Discontinued now muwhahahahah:kiss: j/k

I really wanted that Hot road Vent and couldn't see me ruining a Kouki Bumper to put one in-Halfass-when the V/S has an Open Spot for it.
Only Replica part I couldn't use was the V/S Kouki Side's.They fit like DogMyit!

I bought a set over a yeah ago for my old white car,used, from a guy and sold them 1 week later.
I'll buy OEM Kouki Sides all day no matter what the price because they Fit like Butta!!Front bumper I can Make work.
Both sets of Replica Rear Valances Fit great.from 2 diff makers.
I even make my own brackets for them so the fit better actually.Just Fiberglassed in some "L" brackets to hold up Good.And 1/4 of the price.
$300+ for rear valances is: -Street Cred to me.thats more than the side skirts.

To Keep in line w/ this thread I guess - MORE KOUKI!!!!! (or type-X I guess,even though its not - hahahahah)

scanned photograph = + type x cred.

[lflkajfj12123]

@ mrfairlady its cool you already proved your street cred with the other car

and 300 for real valences

ouch bRO i paid half that

[ZX88]

anyone know where i could get replacement clips for the side skirts i lost 2 :(. im guessing nissan but

btw this canadian site has a hot road replica bumper with lip
http://www.zolaonline.com/
the site is slow as fuck.

zolaonline.com (http://www.zolaonline.com/)

The little white pointy ones that slide in the slots on the skirts?
I think I have some.

That is the exact same bumper I had.

[MrFairlady]

That is the exact same bumper I had.


SO it looked to fit pretty good?? yeah.
I may buy 1 for an Extra.Whats the ol' Canadian $$ worth these days,....Alot better than ours I;m sure. :sadwavey:
says $195 CAD

[lflkajfj12123]

HOT road is the best kind of ROAD

[MrMcgarrett]

It fit great except for a small gap by the side marker light exactly like the car on the site lol

$195CAD=$176.75US

[ZX88]

The little white pointy ones that slide in the slots on the skirts?
I think I have some.

That is the exact same bumper I had.

yeah the clips for the skirts that hook onto the rear fender wells.

[Z33dori]

i might give that bumper a try once i pic up a shell....

[lflkajfj12123]

didn't your hatch have an sr?

sell that and buy a shell

aero parts are much more important than a motor anyways

[Z33dori]

lol

never ... i have so much time and energy into that bitch of a motor... it's bad enough i ruined the other half...

[lflkajfj12123]

more engine parts = more headache

stock ka is great always runs

and plus i got type x life is good

[Z33dori]

might just take out a quick loan and buy a decent running ka one... then just aero it.. rock it till it blows up then swap in the SR

then i would have the best of all 3

[lflkajfj12123]

best lesson to ever learn

never go in debt to build a car

[jspecusa]

calling azndoc looks like someone is after your gt1 kit also.

[xplicit240]

sigh i hate you guys. now i wish i still had my hatch to do the type X aero.

would the type X front on a coupe look weird? anyone has this done?

[lflkajfj12123]

yes been done

been done a lot in japan atleast

[V1A]

Does anyone know the difference between the RPS13 TYPE X FRONT BUMPER REINF. (as seen here: http://zilvia.net/f/advertiser-specials-sales/260228-nissanparts-cc-current-specials-upcoming-stock-update.html) and the stock reinf.?

I'd assume it has provisions for the extension brackets, and maybe some other brackets, but is that it?

For those with OEM aero, are you using this?

[ixfxi]

yes, the above bumper support is the j-spec one

the one on your car is the us-spec one

the us-spec is heavier duty, the j-spec is light and flimsy. thank US crash regulations for the heavy duty bumper support. still havent been able to decide which i am putting (if any) on my car

[V1A]

If the only difference is the 'beefiness' then I guess I'll skip it. I'm probably going to mod my stock one for ducting anyway.

Thanks.

[Brian]

You can also just take the entire thing out...

[Z33dori]

yea

my intercooler won't fit with it there... and cutting it to fit an intercooler ruins it's whole structure ... so i chunked that bitch

besides ... they hardly work if u run into anything made after 1999... lol

[Z33dori]

the lip?

damn... they sell the whole kit with the lip (all FRP) for 800 bucks.. not to bad


Modiride - AE86 S13 240sx Body Kits and Aero Parts (http://www.modiride.com/240sx.html)

[Brian]

Maybe you should just buy it then.... ?
:)

[Z33dori]

lol

does me no good ....

that is the price of mildly decent-ish shell around here....

[ZX88]

yeah im buying that lip. as soon as a get a paycheck. are those prices shipped? i assume so cause its over paypal.

[lflkajfj12123]

whole point of buying oem - polyurethane

breaking fiberglass is no beuno

[Dousan_PG]

you break FG kits enough and they'll weigh as much as FRP
i had a kouki oe bumper once, and sides..and some rears..
sold it


i hate kouki sides and rear

[Brian]

dousan - #1 type x side and rear bad mouther. lol

Dousan's just sad he's not part of the club anymore.

On Fucking Fire.

[MrFairlady]

I've got the Modiride Rear Valances Now.
I had to make Brackets for them because unlike the Seibon ones I got from Pandagarage (better) - Seibon has Brackets - They still fit about the same.No Biggie.

THATS AWESOME They are Making F/G versions of the Lip and stuff.Looks like the only way to make it stay on the bumper is ol' Zip ties though.

Unlike the OEM Lip w/ the "Points" that go Through the bumper and have the "H" stays...Thats the Tightest Fit you can Get!

Only other Aero I'd rock is Koguchi Power/BN Sports or I really Wanted a IKEYA Forumla bumper & skirts (Discountinued) :(
Not much else I Dig.

I got it from another member on here.
I'm glad he didn't posted pics of it in his ad:ddog:

[Z33dori]

yea i've never seen it before... i'll have to find pics of the whole kit

i love the kit
wish lindsay still had it. best kit everrrrr

[MrMcgarrett]

The front and sides are pretty much the same as oem kouki.

:wackit::wackit::wackit:

Why you got to post that and make all our cars look like shit:(

[MrFairlady]

Hot road rear is where its at though - It hangs down lower and Flows Better w/ the sides than the Stock Shizzle. Espically w/ 17/18 stag Fitment. ;)
Hot road Sides are a lil' more aggressive too (mostly in the front where they meet the fender,..very close to Kouki.

MRMCGARRETT I hate you 4 it!

as pictured^^

he never bought a hot road rear, cost was ridiculous and just did the oe rear

[MrMcgarrett]

lol
I have a G-Grow valance.
Not as aggressive as the Hot Road.

Another hot kouki 180sx:

[Leo-kun]

Itai's 180sx and Koguchi's(w/ HotRoad) 180sx are my inspiration!
Hot Road is the most fuckin sexy aero eva!!!

I like type x, but... but really? Hot Road is hotter.

BTW, does anyone know what really happened to them?

[MrFairlady]

Damn!!!! I was gonna rock some RPF's too.Shit.Could have payed the extra $100 or so and got a set.

Damn that looks Good.So Simple so Sharp!
Though gotta run the stag espically when your tucking the rear which I hope to be after next weekend.

[Z33dori]

well it's official i might just have to go Kouki and rock it with my Crack white RPF1's

they are so lonely right now

stock rear valences were made before the kouki aero was put out

it was a sports option piece for chuki's too

that would be why it doesn't fit perfect

[94_240sx]

IMO, this is the hottest 180sx Kouki. I think GT-1 front bumper is copy of this setup. Bumper is OEM and front lip is aftermarket. I wasn't able to find out who makes the lip though. OEM lip is not aggressive enough compared to this one.

http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p112/sxj6151/NICO2/180sx.jpg

i never thought about that. i have the pic saved some where .... but i could never figure out why that front bumper looked so diff...

that lip is huge....

http://i705.photobucket.com/albums/ww52/driftfreaq/IMG_0515.jpg

I would show the front but some of you might complain.

Oh and ya we have not put the rear valence on yet due to car being rolled in and out of the shop.

[lflkajfj12123]

whats the big deal with your front end

lets see it buster

be forwarned its not Kouki :D Though it does have a Gracer urethane lip :D oh and yes those are steel fenders.

i cant believe there is all this talk about a stupid factory front lip.


its just a lip, that happens to be more expensive than the bumper. even worse, the plastic studs break off when new, i cant imagine buying a used one because theyre probably all broken off and loose fitting.

i love my lip, i bought it new. i think it looks very good. i think the discussion ends there. now this thread has turned into posting pics of different lips... aftermarket lips... shitty fiberglass replica lips.

Mike you can't deny, Hot Road does rock. Of course besides Hot Road there is not much in the way of aftermarket Kouki style that is as sick. Ah G Grow and that's about it.

You don't have the correct bracket iirc.

I'm waiting on Ray to bring some more in to have it on my other Kouki bumper.

Without the correct bracket, your bumper sags a few mm.

^ is this the reason why the version select VI fits like shit where the hood meets the bumper?

its the reason why a lot of aftermarket bumpers don't fit for shit where the hood meets the bumper. A lot of people leave off the stock support pieces that go up front. Its the same with S15 conversions and part of why a lot look like shit.

[Z33dori]

You can just swap all the bumper retainer pieces from the stock s13 bumper over to the kouki bumper.

Some of the holes don't line up exactly but enough do to get it to sit properly. I just took all the peices off my pignose and swapped it over to the kouki bumper.

[lflkajfj12123]

how about making some custom brackets to prop it up?

is this an easy option?

[Brian]

I have that Japanese bracket guy.

You know those 2 little "bracckets" kinda in front of the radiator that you bolt the bumper to? It is 2 bolts on each bracket up top? Right in front of the rad support...



Mine are old and the metal is ripping apart, so that's why it sags. Trust me.

I attempted to figure it out with a ziptie solution, but it didn't work.
I gave up.


If somebody wants to come and fix everything for me, please do.
I have no desire to do it myself.

He's Got something in there - You can see the 3 little flaps that sandwichs the Retainer to the Bumper.
I think he just needs to Install or Tighten the Bolts on The fender,thats under the Sharp Points of where it meets the Bumper.Hardest Spot to get to on that Fucking Thing!
I Modified my V/S Bumper to use that Center Support but it still sags a tad...though once the Zip tie Plan gets full effect soon - It'll be Butta or, good enough for a Racer!
You can see my Center support kinda:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v703/Mrfairlady/Race%20car%20build/IMG_0648.jpg

I just need my bumper Tightened up a tiny bit more so I can Clear my Takata Ramps.Makes Jacking it up MUCH eaiser.

I swear I wanna design a New Jack:

Basically taking like,a Kevlar Bag (size of like a Deflated Speed Bump type deal) and be able to Slide it under the car/frame rails so it Clears the AERO/Sideskirts w/o removing them and use a Compressor to Blow the Bag up.TADA!! "Bodyjack" gets it off the ground enough to get a DECENT Floor jack other than the Ghetto Nissan jack 1st.

sorry, no. none of that works. ALL of the bumper mounting hardware is completely different.

anyone who thinks you can somehow magically use the old shit and mix-and-match, forget it.. its a waste of time. just do the job right, spend the fuckin 130+ bucks and buy the proper fucking hardware.

i compared both mounts and they are different, period.

[Brian]

http://bhworld.files.wordpress.com/2009/06/broken-thing.jpg
Why my bumper sags so much.
broken / cracked brackets.
See it?
Both sides are like this and the bumper only HELPS to weigh it down MORE.

[hippo_chips]

I bought new brackets, cause the welds on mine broke. Headlamp Brackets. (http://www.trademotion.com/partlocator/index.cfm?action=getJointLocator&siteid=214857&chapter=&Sectionids=0,2308&groupid=2309&subgroupid=2479&componentid=2846&make=25&model=240SX&year=1990&graphicID=3713030&callout=6&catalogid=2&displayCatalogid=0) Although, these are for zenki bumpers. I don't know how much the 89-90 differ from the 91-94 brackets. Apparently there are 91-94 brackets, and at 45 bucks a piece.

[Brian]

I thought about tacking them with the welder here, but I figured I'd probably mess something up, so I forgot about it.

[lflkajfj12123]

what about just clamping and then riveting them together

[Brian]

I don't know how to do that.
sounds rough!

someone tell me how to install my type x wing

I used Pictures of Kouki 180's to line mine up.

Got a box that was the same height as the Spoiler (put under the Spoiler to hold it up) and layed it up there to position the spoiler where I wanted it and then used Templates of the Feet that I'd made.

The Holes on the inside of the Trunk are the hardest part.being able to get to the Bolts.
You can Line the tips of the Spoiler up w/ the glass on the 1/4 windows.
The Base of the soiler gives you an idea of how it Curves w/ the hatch.

[ZX88]

ive got like 3 different types of holes on my hatch. its fucking confusing.

Bring them to Eric, not Tim.

Eric's Premium Prices, of course! There's no meat on Tim's prices-- I'm not gonna serve them to my family!

You throw it back.
Stay in the water!

I would have to go with Eric's Premium Prices because Tim'$ Discount Price$ shatter to the ground.


The choice is simple. Tim's got crap for prices.

kick it.

NICE X collection you got there.

[ixfxi]

never been a fan of the wing though, it looks narrow at some angles.....


i mean, its not ugly by any means..... but wings are just kinda pointless unless they actually serve a function. and the 180sx wing, well... doesnt really do much of anything in terms of downforce now, does it?

[Brian]

It probably does something... but not much at all (if so).

[lflkajfj12123]

it looks cool

[mattro]

idk ever since VS came out with the V6 kit there seems to be a shit load. But as for actual Legit OEM guys... there is a pretty decent amount that have been around.... they have just been hiding


i would love to go oem. ive got other issues than with the looks at the moment though.

hmmm I see some cool color valences :D hehehehehe

forfeited for the sake of HOT ROAD!

[ixfxi]

imo, no valences that ive seen so far are worth installing on an s13. its all cheap fiberglass shit that is held on with double stick tape.


ill be quite surprised to see anyone post some nice rear valences that look good with the 180sx kouki setup

Why my bumper sags so much.
broken / cracked brackets.
See it?
Both sides are like this and the bumper only HELPS to weigh it down MORE.

same shit here.... :naw:

im going to add some sort of support on the bottom so that it dosent bounce as much....

kouki S13 aero is prolly the sexiest aero EVER for a car...s13 coupe aero bumper is nice and all...but 180sx kouki aero is just soooo aggresive looking...and the front bumper is so rediculously functional for channeling air its nuts...chuki bumper was garbage if you have a FMIC...removes all air flow to the radiator

My G-Grow valance matches the sideskirts better than the OE rear pieces.
It is not fully mounted in the pics so it is sagging.
Plus my QP and bumper are banged up so it's off some.
Dave should own it right now but I was quicker on the draw.:ddog:

here is how i see things like valences, sideskirts and lips: dont show me shit unless its worth looking at. meaning, if the car and parts are not painted and 100% installed with no gaps - then its worth showing.

here is an example of a nice view:

I love this photo. I've had it for years. I love looking at it. The car is painted, modified, and looks perfect. I feel like driving this car.

You guys are too stuck on posting pics of parts that dont fit or arent properly installed.

The blue one is nice. The wing is a bit strange in my opinion, but looks professionally done and tasteful. Too bad that is the only pic that I can see so far from my work pc.

wow...havent seen the oneline aero kit in years...thats a site for sore eyes...reminds me of the good ol days when rare JDM aero was still SUPER hot for the S chassis...and you didnt need stupid wide wheels with bajillion MM over fenders to be considdered "hotness"...all it took was being CLEAN


im getting too old for this shit :(
