J30 projecters!!!! HELP!!!

[I'D MISSILE IT]

I have recently done a Silvia front... hood, bumper, bumper support, and fenders. I had planned on using these j30 lights but I can't for the life of me think of a way to mount them lol and I was also thinking about using my stock pop up lights with no housings but yet again can't figure out how to mount them where they would be effective without using wire ties lol HELP!!

[DreamN]

Just throwing this out there, but most folks with Silvia front ends simply use Silvia headlights. It's a bit of wild thought, I know, but it's true.

Make your own brackets for the J30 lights if you really want to use them. Worst case scenario is you zip tie them on. Whatever you decide to do, I'm willing to bet it's going to look funky.

[I'D MISSILE IT]

Yeah bricks, $550, projectors, $450. Having some ghetto j30 set up priceless

[DreamN]

dude, where are you getting those ridiculous prices from? Look around the forums. Projectors typically go for under $200. Halogens typically fetch near the $300 mark.

Stop looking at overpriced JDM sites or overseas ebay seller listings.

[I'D MISSILE IT]

These are people I know. And yeah crackhead prices but I'm not looking for a clean look then is for my ghetto Ka missile car lol

[Wake]

If its a missile (which mean it should only be on a track) then it doesnt need headlights.

Quit being a dickhead and take peoples advice. Otherwise get off the internet.

[andrew600]

hahaha you can have the whole swap for as much as you think you need to spend on the headlights.

[silviaks2nr]

Why would you do a front end conversion and then not get the headlights???? Figure out a way to do it yourself if you have to have the j30 lights. It is going to look terrible no matter how you mount them

[S13k's]

You could create a surrounding adapter, bracket that goes over the whole light. Then mark and drill holes for the J30 tabs. make sure the adapter is the same size as the triple projectors or bricks. Use sheet metal and bend it so it has tab's you can drill. All that being said no matter if you center, or move them to outside or inside they are going to look really weird

[brizanden]

ok haters. my boi here picked up a sil front for near the price of a xxr wheel now he wants to run some j30 projectors. why dont people throw out some actual ideas instead of saying be boring buy some headlights. fuck he obviously know what a sil front looks like wants to swirch it up.

[Edwin562]

oh the butt buddy came for the rescue... !!!

He can duct tape them to the hood and use butt connecters on the wires. Then he can teach you how to spell, boi!

[brizanden]

lol zilvia your a trip. ^yes my good sir he could do that, but then all you fanBOYs will hate how he did it. sorry i correctly misspelled one word. yes, i am jumping in for my dude. I may not like what he is doing but at least he is seeing if somethin else might look good.

[Edwin562]

it wont.... save him from his future humiliation. a real friend would do that...

[S13k's]

My Comment was actually useful...
Step 1: Trace the J30's on sheet metal
Step 2: make an adapter to the correct shape of projector/Brick
Step 3: measure it twice
Step 4: cut it out
Step 5: mount it..wire it and done

[DinoMan]

Theres been a couple ideas here, they just voiced their opinion at the same time....regardless of how he does it, there will always be people that hate that he did it in the first place.

[harrypotter]

If you are a good car mechanic at a shop and do good work there, you also do good work on your personal vehicle. If you are a writer and do good editorial work, you also do good work on your personal writing. Bottom line is if you have a good work ethic it usually carries over to personal life. So if you are an expert editorial writer, you should be a good internet forum thug writer. This obviously does not hold true to you so either you are lying, or you actually suck at writing!

As far as me shooting myself, it is not likely to happen. I shoot for my job, and I also shoot for my hobby. Just like stated above I am good at one and it shows in the other, constantly!

p.s. I will be awaiting an educated response my boibrah.

not even true. i can go get you my college transcript if you would like to see my grades in all my english classes (took 4 over two years only 2 were required). you should know you write to your audience always and i never claimed to be a thug, your ignorant. sarcasm is obviously lost on you considering all i said was boi and no other slang terms. for a reply like this as long as someone is using some punctuation and mostly proper grammer im fine with it not being a fuckin A+ scholarly paragraph. your a nit picker and i really shouldnt even be bothering myself with answering you. idk how you sucked me into this i feel stupid for even bothering bickering with you. I guess ignorance just makes me a tad agitated prol why i hardly post.

Last I heard UC is a public university, but must be as hard to get into as MIT. Either way I live in New Mexico with my uncle and don't plan on leaving any time soon. UC offers aerospace engineering, take that and fabricate some aerospace quality head light housings. Did you look at the link I posted, and is that something like what your boy is trying?

[Mishkin_707]

My question, has anyone ever tried replacing the J30 projector into the Silvia projectors, not like this guy is doing but like the TSX projector retrofit? Cause J30's are a dime a dozen in these junk yards in/near Chicago.

Why is everyone too lazy to learn to drive/drift right? Everyones got a new fanboy word for 2012...."missile car" I'm sure it was started by a Honda guy who can't drive a RWD
Now every 15-20 year old that can't drive says and if you're older than the ages posted, stop trying to be a teenie bopper

[bataangpinoy]

people seem to lose the line bewteen drift beater and missile.

drift beater= beat, shitty, you dont care about it but it has a clean, straight body.

missile= run it into walls, play door tag. drift, hit shit, repeat.

[Wake]

"Missile" is the new word for broke ass kids, that can still manage to afford knock off wheels instead buying actual quality performance parts.

[Edwin562]

im laughing twice as hard now that i read it again. lol

[sormeroid]

still gotta let me look at em and see what ii can do for u.

[project-c2]

I've done something like this on my Civic. I swapped the whole front to a 95 Integra and matching tail lights.

I would start with all the parts for a J30 front. (hood, hood hinges, fenders, bumper, grill, front radiator support)

I would bolt the hood on with J30 hinges and redrill where the hinges would line up on the car. Then cut the top of your radiator support to fit the J30 with latch and everything. Bolt the headlights on and cut and splice the top part of the fenders keeping the S13 rear and use the J30 top to line up with the hood and headlights. Mod your bumper brackets to fit the J30 mounts and redrill holes in the upper rails and weld nuts to bolt down the fenders.

Although, this is kind of involved, it looks and bolts up factory when done.

[soreballz]

^That's all well and good, but the OP was wanting to use the projectors from the J30 headlights, not the entire J30 front end.

[project-c2]

IDK, would look kind of wierd with just the headlights. Sorry. :picardfp:

[soreballz]

Yep, I thoroughly agree.
