s15 tail light conversion

[silviainmyfuture]

i want to kno if anyone has done an s15 tail light conversion on a 95-96 or 97-98 240sx and if so could you tell me whats needed. i have done a search and all that comes up is people replying that it is stupid and "leave them stock." look i dont care what you all think, this is what i want to do and its my car.

thanx to those of u who will actually help me.

Look at the back of an S14.
Look at the back of an S15.

A lot of metal, bondo, time, and money is what you'll need.

[doh boy]

i think i saw a pic awhile back on this forum that was a s13 front and s15 rear on a s14... but im not sure.. does anyone know what im talking about?? ill see if i saved the pic, if i find it ill post it for you..

[Drift Style S14]

you got alot money? cause thats all it takes. just go to the body shop and tell them heres a picture of what i want, and here are the tail lights. then hand over a hand full of money and presto your coversion is done.


















btw i think its stupid not because of the money but because the entire body of the s14 is different than the s15. so the tail lights won't match the body style and body lines of the s14. plus it costs an a*s load of money.

[Matt_240]

ive never seen it done but it prob. has been.

whats needed? s15 taillights and a whole lotta body work.

[Matt_240]

as you can see, they look TOTALLY different. you might as well do an s15 rear end conversion :)

[Pudula]

That doesn't follow any lines of the s14 at all...will look like ****.

Step One: Find a S15 Silvia

Step Two: Get a plasma cutter (or other cutting device)

Step Three: Cut the *** off the S15

Step Four: Take S15 *** and S14 to body shop

Step Five: Give bodyshop lots of money to weld S15 *** to S14

Step Six: Done.

:rofl:

Ha, i was about to mention that car before i saw your post. Yeah that s14 with the s13 front and the s15 rear actually looks good. I saw it in action on one of my option vids, good stuff. It will definately take alot of work though.

ok.
Here's what I don't get.
Do people just like the s15 tails cuz it comes from an s15??? I mean, I really don't get it, I think they're fugly and VERY dated looking... almost like late 80's early 90's style. Reminds me of a Grand Am or something... (haha, I know I'ma get flamed big for that one)

I think the s14a lights look really badazz. I'm all for changing things around and looking different, but I think the main reason not a lot of people know how to do it, or how much it costs, is becuase it looks like a$$ to begin with. Put it this way, if I had a s15, I'd do a s14a tail light conversion on it ;)

Oh, and dont tell me I'm just a JDM hater, I've got kouki tails on my hatch that I think look amazing :P

[Dousan_PG]

i think s15 taillights are damn sexy
ever see the red/clear ones. PURE SEX. soooo hot looking its incredible. especially when they are BRIGHT red and VERY clear..looks SO goooood

dated? i dont think so..but its opinion so..whatever!

in person its nice too :)

my favorite s15...Taniguchi's personal car (the one he used in D1GP first year..2001). when it was red. after the yellow (stock)--red w/ the Model 5s (silver), no wing, Vertex ridge kit and the pair of brix inside w/ the nardi, and all his interior goodies. that car was (now im not so crzy for its looks) SWEET!

Hmm... imagining the car above with clear instead of the amber would make it look WAY better, I still think the s14a's look better, but the clear would make it look 100% better :)

[Dousan_PG]

ill get a pic for you later
all clear on a white s15 is excellent as well. simply awesome!

[zero.counter]

You could always buy a silvia S15 and have it imported over here. :p
Makes me think of michael jackson trying to be something he is not, white.

I feel the same way. I think the S15 tails are probably the worst out of all the other S-Chasis cars. I figured it was all just in a name. S15 tails look nice on S15s but thats just cuz the rest of the S15 is so damn sexy.

And ya they do look like Grand Am lights, but I always like Grand Ams, my neighbor has the new GTP one, pretty nice looking and a nice ride :D.

And to the S14 thats on that site, if you look at that tiny *** pic, you'll see it looks real odd in the side profile shot.

Anyone got bigger pics of this car?

For those having trouble finding it, go to Retired Rides, then Phil's 240SX...

:stupid:
i always thought they looked kinda like grand am lights too, but thats beside the point. i'd love to see the pic of the clear/red s15 lights...that just sounds hot

[weirdstyles.net]

who ever phil was, he had one nice *** ride... that interior was imaculate...

regardless, your right those tails dont suite the car...

silviainmyfuture; sure its all on you. As you can see it has been done, anything is possible with time and money, but as you can see there is alot of cut and pasting to be done there...

good luck, and since youve got all that money; why don tyou hook a brother up?

i think so, because the s15 is basically an unreachable for people in the US. the S15 headlights are nice, but I don't think that's the reason that people get conversions, it's because they can't get the s15. the S14 kouki headlights are nice too, but you don't see hondas getting s14 conversion as much as s15 conversion. it's all because it's JDM and they don't exist here. if they didn't make the s14, i bet people would be trying to put s14 head and tail lights on their s13's

I don't think they will try to put on S14 taillights. :loco:

"Phil's 240SX" looks...weird. :squint:

[SilviaDriver]

i gotta agree with dousan..when u see themin person..its a different story..

i like wat Ken Nomura does with his taillights..he liek painted it the same color..the amber part

[NZO]

Unless youre going to totally reflair the rear wheelwells it just looks like crap IMO. BTW the way uras does their s15 tails looks the best I think. Cover the ambers with bodycolor eyebrows. :boink:

Ok, I will definitely admit. That car looks Bad-F*cking-A$$. I really like the tails when they're done like that... goes well with that wing too!

um kinda out of it, but how easy is the fitment of s13 front on s14? direct/minor moding, or major? obviously u'll need bumper/hood/fenders, lights, bumper support (?!). but how easy to fit?:bowdown:
