Nissan 200SX S14.5 1995 widebody

[JOeS]

There are a lot of awesome builds on Zilvia already and I hope I can contribute to that. I also want to help out the community for others who wants to do a S15 conversion or are in the middle of a S15 conversion.

This is my car how I bought it 4 years ago. It's a 1996 Nissan 200SX S14 with a SR20DET.

My first mods where some Sport Edition (German special edition) 17" BBS wheels:

But I always liked the S15 front. Inspired by my brothers old S14.5 I decided to put on a S15 front as well.

[MikeisNissan]

ooooooo nice. cant wait to see it finished.

[ChicagoS14]

Nice, clean 200sx, what are you going to do with the headlights?

[JOeS]

I bought some headlights but still needed to buy the mounting brackets and connector plugs. It took quite some time to find to correct ones. So here's a complete list with part numbers:

- 26090-85F00 - Left S15 headlight bracket
- 26040-85F00 - Right S15 headlight bracket
- 84343-79901 - blinker/parking light plugs (2x)
- HB3 9005 plugs - High beam plugs (2x)
- 24028-AG007 - low beam plugs (2X) -> These are actually the wrong ones. I should need an exact mirror image from these ones. So I just remove the ridges and the edges from the plugs. Then they slide right in. Perhaps the correct part number is B4342-79906.

26090-85F00 - Left S15 headlight bracket:

Nice, clean 200sx, what are you going to do with the headlights?

I don't know, I have them for sale. But the right light have some broken mounting tabs on the wing side.

[JOeS]

Two of my friends are going to do all the bodywork. First is to cut the rear fenders:

Then weld it together:

Nice result!

Gahhhh I want a EDM S14 rear bumper. -_-

[Michael Nolan]

looks sooo dope!

[JOeS]

Gahhhh I want a EDM S14 rear bumper. -_-

Too bad you live too far. I threw mine away, else you could have it. You can get these for free over here...

[theboy]

umm, i dont see an s15 conversion? all i see is an s14 with dope wheels and a right rear quarter cut out?

[JOeS]

I fitted the S15 front at home in my garage:

Then I connected my headlights:

[JOeS]

Some more work done to the right:

I had doubts that my fronts would fit and too bad they didn't:

[projectslider]

go with a 225/45 in the front maybe?
love the build!!
best wishes!

[Persona]

1. Please paint the car that purple

2. Please dont put rivets everywhere on your overs.

3. Keep it up!

[wh0aitznic0]

Go down to a 225/35 in the front, notch top coilover hole for more camber, lower car more!

[1on1]

god that purple is so nice.

[tinys s14]

wow didnt know the EDM s14 bumper was different.. that shyt is sickkk

[Jason913]

Sick car man. Love everything you're doing. Keep updating us please!

[omgRWDgoodness!]

European build threads are always the best, hands down...especially compared to the sloppy shit most of ours are. Attention to detail and always quality parts being used, love it.

I was actually hoping for something like this to come along because I've been dying to know when I can get some of those OEM-EDM 200SX side-marker turn signals and was wondering if perhaps you knew?

[JOeS]

1. Please paint the car that purple

2. Please dont put rivets everywhere on your overs.

3. Keep it up!

1. I'm going to have it paint in Lexus Desert Sage Metallic. I know the purple is also nice, but it's too loud for me.

2. The overs are going to be mounted with rivets but I have it molded by the paint shop.

3. Thx!

Which one do you need? The oval ones in my front wings?

[CaptainVlad]

It would have been so much cooler with zenki or kouki front tho.

Kouki wing with zenki front, those wheels, low... would look real good.

[omgRWDgoodness!]

Which one do you need? The oval ones in my front wings?

Not sure what a front wing is, but they're the ones that go on your fenders. The zenki ones are amber and the kouki ones are white, I want the kouki ones :D Do you know where to get them? That would be awesome!

[Shift_2Drift]

dope. i love the fitment all around

[JOeS]

Not sure what a front wing is, but they're the ones that go on your fenders. The zenki ones are amber and the kouki ones are white, I want the kouki ones :D Do you know where to get them? That would be awesome!

You mean the ones on the front fender between the wheel arch and the door? They're both amber for the zenki and kouki. We just use some white ones from another Nissan car.

[s14unimog]

Nice, I'd rather you kept the front the same too but it looks like its going to look nice either way. I'm down for that purple color as well. I like how you cut the rears, looks much better than a lot I've seen. Keep the pictures coming, good work.

[zooopreme]

I'm liking the build so far, OP. I'm not really fond of that purple though. Looks good though!

[omgRWDgoodness!]

You mean the ones on the front fender between the wheel arch and the door? They're both amber for the zenki and kouki. We just use some white ones from another Nissan car.

YES! Really, hmm I thought they were white for koukis since I've only seen them with white ones in photos. Anyways, where can I get them?!

[kalypso123]

truthfully I think s15 front... AND that rear wing are a bad combination...

you risk overdoing it.

but if you can get those wheels to fit well and pull it off nicely this car could be a boss.

good luck mate.

[JOeS]

YES! Really, hmm I thought they were white for koukis since I've only seen them with white ones in photos. Anyways, where can I get them?!

We just use ones from a Nissan Almera/Pulsar or Micra. You can buy those everywhere in Europe. For example over here: Knipperlichten - Nissan - Productadvies - Tuning - Autostyle - Producten - AutoShop Gistel (http://www.autoshopgistel.be/EN/Products/Autostyle?Source=Products&SearchFor=&Make=620&Model=&IndexNo=174) or ebay UK: nissan micra side repeaters items - Get great deals on Vehicle Parts Accessories, Tuning Styling items on eBay UK!

My brother had almost the identical set-up and I really liked how it looked.

[Adrian_180]

Everything was going good and lookin dope, then u put that s15 front on..

[wetawded87]

^^^ could live without the wing too. but to each his own, looks good for what it is though

[cheesyriceo4]

To each their own, and I like it. Not only that, but you're getting the work done proper:)

[frizzle]

If you can't make the wheels fit I will buy them!

Anyway not a fan of the S14.5 front end either, but it might look better with a different bumper. I hate that "drift" bumper.

Some more work done to the fenders.

We had a big setback too. It turns out that around the mounting points of the rear coilovers there was a lot of rust and some big holes because of that.

Well, I can't get the fronts to fit so I purchased 4 others from Yahoo auctions Japan. I want to use two to replace the fronts. But it's too bad those wheels doesn't have a nice lip as the current ones.

Well I have to admit I can't take credit for that. It's my mates and his girlfriends card. :coold:

[RPS13-604]

u just need more stretch on the front wheels and they will fit. i've seen 18x10.5 -15 being crammed under a 20mm fender

[JOeS]

The fronts don't fit over my brake calipers, so I had to use 10mm spacers. So it's actually 18x10 -24. I agree, else they would fit.

[Nick_04K]

Dont get rid of the front wheels! just sell those front fenders and buy wider ones. That car is going to need the most gangster stance possible! S14.5 look like hell without bigger overs on all four corners.

[JOeS]

I already looked into that. The problem is that there are no wider S15 conversion fenders. I've searched for several months. And some company's I e-mailed don't even reply at all. So therefore I got the other set of wheels.

[JOeS]

All the rust has been removed, new steel has been welded in and everything has been treated to prevent from rusting again:

I have been seeing a lot of this coming out of australia and now here.

You're doing it wrong!

The card is to fit between the wall of the tire and the inside of the fender, and if it can hang there, it shows you are running so flush you are mm from touching.

Anyone can set a card on top of their tire.



And yes, those front rims looked awesome but sadly where WAY to wide :(


please tel me the hood will not have that stripe?

fab work looks great, great attention to the details.
should look really nice and those rear over fenders give it a bit of agressive feel, i like it, and i hate conversions.

[ROOSEY]

awesome work man looks great and hopefully the rims find a way to work out for you theyre sick!!

overall thumbs up keep it!

No worries mate, it was meant as a joke. It was about the type of card, rather than showing it's flush. :hs:

And no, I'm definately not keeing the stripe. I only keep my air vents unpainted.

[JOeS]

Thanks all for your nice comments!

We fabricated some sliding brackets to mount the front bumper and prevent it from sacking in the corners below the headlights:

http://lh5.ggpht.com/_1XiVntc2mik/TKUclhTlYUI/AAAAAAAAE_E/PJmRAOrXStk/s800/IMAG0003.jpg

We also mounted the side skirts, rear bumper, kouki trunk lid and kouki spoiler.

i dont really like the spoiler, but everything else is dope.

We have adjusted my exhaust so it comes straight out of the middle of the hole in my bumper. Some hours grinding, adjusting and welding later.

Before:

http://lh5.ggpht.com/_1XiVntc2mik/TLnRGNGnz0I/AAAAAAAAFCo/QLehzsUKxE8/s800/IMAG0009.jpg

We also made a battery box which is lowered into the trunk. Over which I can make a flat floorboard for in my trunk. Makes it look tidy in the back.

I'm not really pleased with the low disk compared to my other wheel. So we're going to try and fit a S13 LCA and try to fit my big dish 10J ET -14 (+10mm spacer) wheel.

[ETHANOLED SR]

Great attention on the s15 front end install and fitment! Personally I don't like that front bumper at all, but good stuff so far, keep it up!

You didn't have to do all that fab. work for the battery! They have small dry cell batteries that fit and tuck almost anywhere in the trunk!

Run smaller tires in front and you're good to go with the deep rims! :bigok:

Just wondering what's the purpose of this car when it's done? Is it your daily?

[JOeS]

Thanks for the compliment! :bigok:

Smaller tires is not the solution as the rims are sticking out to much. In the Netherlands we are not allowed to drive like that.

Yes, it's my daily so it also needs to be practical. Hence the battery that low in the trunk. Else, where would I put my 2 crates of beer when I do my groceries? :D

[JOeS]

We fitted the S13 LCA and now my deep dish 18x10 -14 (+10mm spacer, so actually -24) fits! So, I'm a happy man! :D

It's on maxmimum camber (with a camber bolt as well) as you can see from the front:

http://lh5.ggpht.com/_1XiVntc2mik/TMRs5_k1vYI/AAAAAAAAFC4/-8do8POhoeQ/s800/IMG_20101021_224513.jpg

I also want to add a 5mm spacer to the back and give it some negative camber as well.

[Bushido]

so glad you decided not to run the 18x10 +41's...

looks proper, all it needs is an M-sports front bumper, oem hood, and some paint!

[yingiang]

are you going to re-adjust your front height along with run a smaller tire to run less camber?

[JOeS]

Yes, I want to adjust the camber. But as I said before, I cannot run a smaller tire as it is not allowed to drive with wheels, tires, rims that are sticking out of the fenders in the Netherlands. So I'm looking into narrower brake calipers and/or wider front fenders. I know that Origin Labs S15 conversion fenders are 30mm instead of Chargespeed 20mm ones. But I cannot find any pics of cars with these fenders on to compare with.

[Toms2jz]

Great build so far, so any luck trying to find overfenders for the front? I think you should keep your front wheels and just run streched tires. Im looking forward to the rest of your build.

[JOeS]

No, I still haven't found any. I found this pic, they look wider but I can't find any info about the car.

http://blog.dorifto.cz/wp-content/gallery/nissan-200-s145/img_5151.jpg

And I'm still trying to find any pics of Origin S15 conversion fenders mounted to a car.

[conrad_s13.5]

i have them on a s13,..lol
i kno thats not much help but, fitment wise they fit really nice, i just had to drill out and make my own mounting points

[JOeS]

Thank for the remark. But you're right, I'm looking for a S14 with Origin conversion fenders. :)

[tsp]

Just a quick stupid question, but do you get the same measurements for the origin lab conversion fenders with the oem s15 fenders? Which ones are wider or are they the same?

[Donkey Kong]

^ when they say "+20" "+30" that means how much wider they are than oem...

[tsp]

Ya I thought that it meant +20mm from the original s14 fenders.
And never got a measurement for the oem one so I was kinda dumbfounded lol well thanks bunches ^^

[Toms2jz]

Any UPdates?

[afiser]

I thought the car looked amazing like this.


http://lh5.ggpht.com/_1XiVntc2mik/ROtiFDQ9ABI/AAAAAAAAEdw/MNTWCSUCA7I/s800/0608170007.jpg

you should of used a low condition s14 rather than hacking up a near perfect one.

to each their own i suppose.

[SR20Driftking4lyf]

I kind of agree with this ^^^^But im a sucker for a zenki:boink:

[corbin]

^ Agreed... hard to beat Zenki front with glass lights + Navan...

[djcobra]

^^^ i agree. I could never butcher my zenki... This reminds me i still have to put on my glass front lights :-)

Anyways, nice build.

[frizzle]

[QUOTEyou should of used a low condition s14 rather than hacking up a near perfect one.
[/QUOTE]
Why does everyone say this? Whats the difference? You buy a POS fix it then you have nice decent car or you buy a nice decent car from the beginning. Im just venting dont mind me...

[JOeS]

My front was damaged because of a collision so I put a kouki front on. Then 6 months later I was hit again, so I had to look for a new front again. Therefore I decided to get a S15 front and a total makeover. So the Zenki front was already gone. Nevertheless I never liked the zenki front, I always was a fan of the kouki. But I liked the S15 the most, but too bad it was only RHD. So I'm a happy man now!

[JOeS]

Any UPdates?

Not too much. I have my car back since last Thursday night. I don't know if you have the same in the US but overhere our cars need an annual technical check at a qualified garage. There were some issues with an incorrect lambda value. So a new O2-sensor was fitted. There was also a leak from the waterpump, likely because of standing still too long with the belt pullig the shaft. So a new one was fitted as well. Right now, I'm searching for some wider front fenders. Some guy is selling some custom ones in Ireland, but after 3 weeks I still haven't seen a picture. Makes you wonder if he wants to sell them...

Last thursday on the way home I had a boost leak from a hose that went off from my FMIC. So I stopped my car and my passenger screamed: "Fire!!!". So I hurried to the back and saw flames from my exhaust while running idle. So I did the most sensible thing one can do, I took out my phone and shot a video before turning my car off! :D

Gahhhh I want a EDM S14 rear bumper. -_-
wow didnt know the EDM s14 bumper was different.. that shyt is sickkk

cant believe you guys like that bumper, i've always thought it looked like complete SHIT. who the hell wants big-ass rear fog lights - they look like a complete after thought.

proof that people commonly want the opposite of what they have just so they can be different.


I was actually hoping for something like this to come along because I've been dying to know when I can get some of those OEM-EDM 200SX side-marker turn signals and was wondering if perhaps you knew?

they're available through motorsports, any dealer can get them for you if you have the time. they may be the same as r33, cant recall. i have several pairs but ours have been converted to LED (if you're looking for something that special)


I thought the car looked amazing like this.

i thought so too, but cars exposed to water & snow always have hidden rust damage as you guys saw above.

[m3to240]

Wow, what a great thread. Gets me excited to snag up a new project!

[whatbrokethistime]

bump.
great thread! i want to see the finished product.
Those rear over fenders looks AMAZING and i've been trying to find pictures of them on a car for months. Glad you used them! Looks like an R32 GTR from the side shot. I'll be using these on my RB25 Neo S14.

[JOeS]

Thanks all! Just a small update. I sold my front fenders and I'm the search for wider ones... And since it's all white and slippery outside there won't be any progress the coming two months. :(

Origin Lab S15 (S14.5) Conversion Fenders 20MM S14 240SX 95-98 (http://www.intensepower.com/orlabs15cofe.html)

Those are 20mm wider.

[JOeS]

Origin Lab S15 (S14.5) Conversion Fenders 20MM S14 240SX 95-98 (http://www.intensepower.com/orlabs15cofe.html)

Those are 20mm wider.

I contacted Origin directly as some shops advertise with them being +30 mm wider. They confirmed that they are indeed +30 mm. But that's still not wide enough for me.

[JOeS]

Finally a small update. I bought Origin fenders but they seem +20mm. So they're the same width as the Chargespeed ones. Oh well...

I also had S13 lower arms fitted as they are 10mm shorter than the S14 ones. Camber bolts were also fitted to increase camber even more if necessary. And last but not least my Drifworks toe rods were installed.

And my car is at the paint shop right now:

lookin good....keep up the nice work cant wait to see this done

[KansaiDrifter]

Wow, props on doing it right and taking everything apart for paint! This will be a awesome setup, looks good with the molded rears looks like those are done right too.

[frizzle]

Please change the front bumper. Other than that I like it.

[c72c]

very nice work all around. fitment, molding, welding, the battery tray, exhaust... it's all great man, keep it going.

[JOeS]

Please change the front bumper. Other than that I like it.

I will eventually, but not right now. I still have to find one I really like, but it's nog top priority right now. I still want the handling to be sorted and perhaps a power upgrade with larger injectors, etc.

I finally received my car yesterday. :D

Yes, you are the winner! :D

Sorry, about the crappy cell phone pics. It doesn't make the color look right. :-/

[JOeS]

A small update. I've fitted the rear bumper correctly, the kouki spoiler, rear lights and my rear wheels. Also a new window trim of my wind shield is fitted. It's also impossible to get the colour right when I take pictures.

I'm not finished yet. I have to space the rear with 10 mm. The front has max. camber of -5 and at the back it's something like -3. I don't have the actual numbers as I left the report at the shop. :(

But I'm quite happy with the result so far! :D

[blueshark123]

need to drop the front an inch

[dub40sx]

and a half. Wish it were kouki front. Still looks pretty sick though.

[JOeS]

need to drop the front an inch
Yeah, I know. It actually was, but I had to raise it. :mad: I couldn't get it as low as I wanted, because of rubbing against my inner arch. But then again I had to raise it further from stop rubbing against the inside of my fender when I turn my wheels. So I'm going to try to grind some more of the inside of my fender. But it's still limited because of lack of space from my inner arch.

[HPKMotorsports3]

great work man... that purple was sick though but the car looks great... do you plan on working the motor?

[Sugoi_Style]

JOeS, I've read the entire thread thus far and I must admit that your friends as well as yourself have great fabricational skills. The battery relocation box was my favorite bit!

I too, have a S14.5 (the S15 front end with 2001 headlights, oem bumper, and oem hood was a free gift with the purchase of the US3800.00 Zenki SE) and am in the process of getting another SR20DET swapped into this Daily driver. I have the same front fenders and will be wary of your plight when I purchase aggressive wheels in the future.

[MidwestMyriad]

+1 on lower, also think the front bumper looks dated, just my opinion, something else would set your car off way more, like bn type 2 or ings even, everything is super nice though.

[Imarvin240]

lil lower wouldnt hurt, but it still looks great!

Thx a lot! But I have to admit though that it's totally the fabrication skills of my friends. I'm only great at getting food and drinks for them while they're busy. ;)
You've got a great deal with your car! Do you have a project topic yourself? And if you need advice with anything, don't hesitate to ask!

You're both right. Well if a better front bumper comes along I might get it. And I need to fabricate bigger inner arches for the front before I can lower it more. So I have to wait for that.

great work man... that purple was sick though but the car looks great... do you plan on working the motor?
Thx man! I'm not really sure what to do with my motor. Either 550 cc injectors with a H-Dev stage 2 chip from Horsham (http://www.h-dev.co.uk/product_info.php?cPath=78_169_409_414_415&products_id=5036&osCsid=d35f1bf355) or a VQ35 swap. My friend is currently looking in the latter, so I'll wait for now to see how his build is going. My friends also started with a 2JZGTE swap in a S14. That's also an option I consider. I need an excuse to take the engine out for the fabrication of my inner arches, right? :D
