My car pics, new thread for s13 front ends conversions please

[pssshht]

Here is my project silvia, currently awaiting the coveted sr20 swap, plans are to also build a 180sx turbo, let me know wat you guys think, show me ur silvias!

[revat619]

Nice ride! very clean!:D I give it :bigok:

What kind of rims are those?

[DRFT]

Nice ride man.

Q:"sweet ride sweet ride, Watcha got under the hood? oh..you gonna make me find out the hard way? you brave"

A:"a couple of nissan SR20's will pull a premium."

:eek:

[Jsquared]

priorities = backward. get the Silvia engine in there before trying to look like a Silvia.

P.S. "180SX turbo" would basically just be a USDM hatch with SR...

[pssshht]

Hehe, yea, i wanted to do the motor first, but the front end came up at a really good price and i couldnt pass it up, and i do my own paint work so that was a cinch. As soon as the motor gets here, its dropping in ASAP, as of right now, it sits in my shop, already gutted, just waiting....... Yes, i want to also do 180sx turbo after this project, i actually wanted the fastback 240sx first, but i got the coupe at a great deal. thanks for the great feedback guys, oh, and those wheels are Work Wheels, someone stole my center caps!!!! Cant have anything nice these days!! Keep up the good work guys.

[DoriftoSlut]

Since everyone is giving you a lot of praise, I think it looks like a typical japanese commuter car. Booya!! I do think it looks nice an clean, but seriously, it is just a stock bodied S13 silvia face with some nice wheels. Its circa 1988 in japan. Not that we should try and copy japan, but I am just tired of seeing so many stock silvias. I think to make your car the hotness, you should: get a Uras G+ or N+ or Hippo Sleek, or K-Style aerokit. Ditch that ugly cener light/grille. Go no grille, or the R32 style inserts. That, and some performance to back up the nice clean looks... Mmmm. Nice paint though. looks very stock, good job.

props for going with coupe!! your car is dope!!!
:bowdown: :bowdown:
me likey!!
btw.. what rims are those? volk mesh? looks like a 16 incher to me.. but the lips made it look like a 17s

edit: wait.. thats 17s.. damn they look nice!

[DoriftoSlut]

You should know what wheels they are, you quoted him. Heh. He said Work. I havent seen her car lately, but they look to be the same as Nadine's rims. She has Work E-Wing Mesh. Therefore I would guess that is the model he has as well...

[Bbandit]

im blind :( :hammer: :bash: :duh:

[Anubis]

I love 80's. So this thing rocks.

[weirdstyles.net]

you should probably take a trip over the bridge and say hello to the Jersey 240 Fans...

nice s13, ill await the motor swap. Where do you do your paint work at?

werd

[DRG1]

How come I saw that same exact car and picture on thepartstrader about a year and a half ago for sale?

[Hombreonee]

Thats funny, i built and sold one just like that, same wheels and everything to some guy in Jersey, about a year ago, and on the partstrader. This guy might be a fraud fellas.

[zero.counter]

The pic looks good. I have seen it somewhere before. Engine first (sleeper kinda) then external mods, IMO. Just because I would not want someone rolling up on me asking for a race in my ferarri testarosa kit car fiero. Look bad azz and run bad azz. Your choice though, some posers like that style I guess...:D

[legendarysnail]

I bet not 95% of the people that you consider racing a 240sx would notice that it has a different front end, let alone a Silvia fascia. This talk about people wanting to race you because you've got a JDM front is very rarely true.

Honestly, I like it. I have a white '93 coupe and would kill to just do a few small mods like you've done (or bought :rolleyes:).

You have any personal pictures of the car you sold?

[Hombreonee]

yes i do actually, its posted on my website, www.nexusmotorsports.net , listed under projects, which states that the project was abandoned and sold. my site actually is goin under construction very soon for an update.

[revat619]

Yup, thats definitely the same car. Hmmmm :squint:

[boro240]

weird, the other day he had that "nexusmotorsports" linked as his WWW, but now its gone.

[nokeone]

not bad not bad at all...:)..i def dig it...very clean..

Yeah, hotshot...You see a whole lot of stock Silvias, don't you.

THAT is a really nice looking car friend. Hope you get a strong running SR in it soon. Screw anyone who disses you!

Edit....Hmmm...do we have a fraud here? Or is this guy the proud owner of another member's old car?

(from www.nexusmotorsports.net)
BTW ...What makes you so sure it is circa 1988? They made these into the 90's.

[NiteKids]

Jsquared:

"Silvia Motor" eh? How vauge. :rolleyes:

Looking like a japanese market "silvia" has nothing to do w/ the motor. He could have the J's or Q's model Silvia NA SR20DE motor which is simular in power as the KA24DE and GASP it's just as slow but it's still a silvia motor!

Everyone asociating the "silva look" or "Silvia badge" with SR20DET fast as hell blow you away got it all wrong. Silvia is just a chasis.

It's the J's, Q's and K's you need to be talking about.

EG civic owners dont go "yeah I'm doing a civic conversion" why cause it's jsut a chasis. They say I'm doing a "Type R conversion" cause it's a trim.

[elevator]

"Silvia" is not the chassis. It is the body. That is a Silvia K's body. The Silvia could have come with an SR20DET, SR20DE, CA18DE, or a CA18DET....depending on the year. The Chassis is basically the same as the 180/240SX for the S13 era.

[TheTimanator]

This is kinda strange. He tried to sell this car almost a year ago my 92 240sx w/ silvia front end is 4 sale (http://www.zilvia.net/f/showthread.php?s=&threadid=13937) (for an insane price at that) :mepoke: something's fishy here..... and why does he have projectsilvia.com as his avatar? :confused:

yeah, hes just saying they were made INTO the 90's, and you cant really tell the specific year (1988 in this case).

[Dousan_PG]

i know im just trying to start trouble w/ mary :p

nevermind my comment gladhatter..i thought it was mary who posted it..dammit!

is that an integra? the rear quarter windows look not s14...so does the trunk...

[TheTimanator]

:eek3: It's a teg alright :(
http://www.nexusmotorsports.net/images/Carlisle%20Show/Integ-red%20jdm.jpeg
and it should die.....

[AKADriver]

haha, yep, that's a 3rd gen Integra.

Aftermarket bumpers... blah. Why pay good money for something more fragile than stock?

[DoriftoSlut]

Yeah, hotshot...You see a whole lot of stock Silvias, don't you.
Actually yes I do, and have. Up close in person, and in pictures. Just cause I am in the US doesn't mean I am stuck here.

BTW ...What makes you so sure it is circa 1988? They made these into the 90's.
I said it looks like it is circa 1988. As in that style.. stock body, mesh rims... I don't see what your problem is? Just because I am sick of seeing that type of car in that state of tune? Oh no! Everyone stop! Someone doesn't like the SILVIA CONVERSION!! Ah SHIIT everyone was giving him "props" for "his car" but... although clean, I think it is boring! Whoa... Dorifto can't have an opinion that is opposite everyones! Hey if I was living in Japan I would rock the Onevia all day long.

Yeah about that... umm why is my ex girlfriend's cleavage as your avatar? Thats kind of odd... Oh nevermind, you took the picture that Steeles posted and put it as your avatar so you could...:wackit: while browsing Zilvia? F*ckin' perv...:p

Actually its not a K body, the front bumper is off a Q. If he is really smart he will replace the trunk lock too, with the SR not the CA.

[AKADriver]

If you want to get nitpicky, at least be correct.

That is a K's bumper. Note the intercooler vent quite obviously visible. J's/Q's bumpers don't have that.

You're thinking of the Aero bumper probably... available on both the K's and Q's... rare option.. but very pretty:

http://sr20.hybrids.jp/editorials/aero_bumper/aero_vs_stock_1.jpg

standard Q's on the left, Aero on the right

K's on the white car above

[elevator]

A lot of freaking geniuses around here!!

deej-79, study up buddy! That IS a K's bumper. The bodies are all the same except for the bumper.

I am so sorry but I can't believe you are seeing so many Silvias that you are sick of seeing them. You, my friend are obviously full of manure. BTW they made the S13 Silvias until the S14s came out. So it may or may not be a 1988 model.

Yeah about that... umm why is my ex girlfriend's cleavage as your avatar?
She got smart huh little boy.
Thats kind of odd... Oh nevermind, you took the picture that Steeles posted and put it as your avatar so you could... while browsing Zilvia? F*ckin' perv...

thats not what hes saying. hes saying the style of the car is "circa 1988 (Japan)."

on a side note, white cars were especially popular and common in the 80's (in Japan), because its like a lucky color or something. so yeah, a car like that would fit very well into 1988.

and who are you to say what he is and isnt tired of? being older than everyone here (or living in japan) doesnt give you auto-respect. you seem to often try to use that to make yourself feel important.

[elevator]

??????????????

I just know thayt there aren't nearly as many Silvias in the US as there are 240S. I can't imagine how anyone could be sick of them.

A guy came on the message board and posts his car (and I am skeptical) and then this guy comes and disses a really nice looking car cause he is sick of them? Come on, boro, you know there aren't that many of them around.

[boro240]

its his own opinion and hes entitled to it. you may not believe it, but it doesnt mean it isnt true (regarding him being sick of seeing basicly stock cars like his).

Well if Dorifto is from SoCal then he probably does see his fair share of silvia fronts.

[elevator]

Enough to be sick of them? Give me a freaking break.

I can't believe all these guys saying, "I don't want to do a Silvia conversion cause everyone is doing that now." or "I don't want an SR...everyone has an SR." or "I am so sick of seeing so many Silvias."

That is bullcrap and a thinly veiled case of Silvia desire! IMHO

nuff said...this thread will probably get locked soon anyway.

[DoriftoSlut]

Gladhatter I think you have a case of "180-face" envy. Everything has to have a Silvia front for you...

As for the 88 comment. I know the S13 was made from 88-90, and the PS13 was 91-93. Whether this is a PS13 or not, it looks like it should be a CA equipped early S13. Ala the STYLE looks like it is from 1988. Damn you are slow...

Yes.. I AM SICK OF STOCK-LOOKING Silvias. US or Japan... doesn't matter... I saw so many Js and Qs in Japan, that most Ks were modified quite a bit. Why? My friend says the guys he knows who buy Ks don't want them looking like the lower models. Thats why they either get Aero model or an aftermarket aerokit. And here in the US, everyone that does the "Silvia Converzyn" Leaves the stock body (95% of the time). So.... going to roughly 2 drift events a month, and seeing a good heap of stock looking Silvia (fronts) gets very old. And most of them are posers who drive the cars anyway... Its just the whole "I did I Silvia front as my first mod and my car rocks" attitude. If you don't understand this, who cares, its my opinion, I am living with it, and I am sick of it. I couln't care less if you hump every Silvia and Sil80 you see. Like I said, if I were in Japan, I would rock a Onevia (like the Sexy Knights Onevia).


I just know thayt there aren't nearly as many Silvias in the US as there are 240S. I can't imagine how anyone could be sick of them
I said stock looking... Many of the Ks I saw in japan were modified (Like I said earlier). I don't get sick of modified Silvias. I think a good compromise is VRT Elektrique's old blue car (RIP). His black one (RIP) had a D-Style (I think) aerokit that looked like an Aero bumper, but lower and bigger.... That looked even nicer. Anyway, this is a dumb argument. I can be sick of something if I want to, and you can not believ me if you want to...

I would say more, but Boro said all that already...

[Dousan_PG]

hey! show gladhatter soem respect. he's an old guy in japan! he MUST know EVERYTHING about silvias! :rolleyes:
bow down to the guy in japan! :bowdown:

[NiteKids]

speaking of socal alone. S13's with Silvia face is VERY common here. It's really no big deal or eye catching at all. They are nice but not a big deal. Like linsey said it would be nice to see one which is all crazy looking.

[AKADriver]

Well, speaking from the perspective of someone in Maryland, I only ever see ANY (tastefully) modified 240SX at a meet/show or at the track.

Day to day? Never.

And furrrrthermore, modifying a car is about personal taste, and if we all wanted to do something that noone else had done before... we wouldn't all own the same cheap old Japanese coupe and get so damn riled up when people said they didnt like each other's personal style.

It does look like something you'd see on the streets of Japan in 1989 (to be fair, S13 Silvias were only produced for a month or two of 1988 and probably wouldn't have enough time to gather aftermarket wheels and lose their pinstripes in that time). So? It also looks like something I'd like to see in my driveway in 2003. PFFFFT

Edit: STOCK (Silvia K's) DOESN'T SUCK! If you have expensive fragile fiberglass bodywork you're not driving your car hard enough :nono:

[sykikchimp]

lol Ryan.. stock doesn't suck, unless it's ugly. Stock s13 Silvia front = Craptacular IMO.


BTW - It would appear this guy doesn't even really own this car..

[DoriftoSlut]

Yah if I lived In Maryland I would not be sick of nearly as much stuff as I am... Heh...

dorifto:
he sent me pics of his new car.
and what he bought for it...check your PM on FA...moooommy!! its soooooo hot! :)

[AKADriver]

I was mostly joking, if the admonishing smiley didn't make that clear... making up for the stock pignuse crap on my car.

I prefer the Aero bumper style, but the stock plain bumper isn't bad. Especially K's style with the IC port. Or do like SCC did and mirror the IC port on the passenger side. But who gives a crap what I think - my car is 3 different colors.

Hey Boro HI guy, no offense man but lighten up. Its not like anyone is going to kick anyones azz or anything, right? No one will win a contest for being smarter, faster, or gain any respect. Its an informative board and just that.

[DoriftoSlut]

zero-- I dont know why you are telling Boro to lighten up... is his spice really that hardcore?

Boro-- No, mike did not get an s15... but is not an s13..... ;)

Dousan-- please stop stalking me.

Silvia owners-- change your cars, they are too plain looking. get BN Sports bodykits, 18/19 wheel setups, bass boat paint, and chrome "tribal style" stickers! Woo hoo!!! 326 Power!

[deej-79]

I too am bored with seeing stock looking Silvia's. Yes, I have seen MANY, I lived in Japan for 3 years. If you are going to do the conversion, buy an aftermarket front bumper, cause that one is UGLY. And, it is a Q bumper, the IC hole was cut in afterwards, believe me these never came stock on the K. Read on sportcompactcarweb.com, they did a silvia conversion with this bumper, then cut the hole for the IC.

[AKADriver]

Alright, I'm usually not such a dick, but you've forced me into it.

First off, SCC should never stand as an authority. They get their information right, most of the time. But not all the time. This time they got it right, but vague. I quote, from the May '02 issue, pp.141:
"Our front bumper came from a non-turbo Silvia, so so we also had to cut an intercooler duct. Luckily we were able to trace the duct shape from a damaged turbo bumper, cut out a template, and trace the shape onto ours." If there wasn't a K's turbo bumper with the duct, where did they trace the duct shape from? It certainly isn't the same shape as the ducts in the Aero bumper, now is it?

Second, you mean to tell me all the cars sporting that side vent are all modified identically? Including all the ones that look stock in every other way? Who would put a Q's bumper on a K's... since the K's stock intercooler would be the only reason to cut that vent?

Third, there are plenty of folks who've written articles about Silvia bumpers that agree with me:
I miss my Aero bumper by Demon (http://sr20.hybrids.jp/editorials/aero_bumper/)
"What is an aero bumper? It was a factory optional front bumper that was available on the S13 Silvia from Japanese dealers. It sits lower than the regular Silvia bumper, and has a larger front vent, in addition to two large side vents (unlike the regular Silvia K's single small vent for its side-mount intercooler)."

NekoPunch's Silvia Front End Guide (http://northwestnissans.com/donations/nekopunch/front/front.html)
"On K's models, the front bumper had a cutout to allow airflow to the intercooler." It also goes on to describe the Aero bumper separately.

[NiteKids]

so what your saying is that you like it In da butt? :p
