that shit looks very clean man.....i love the wingless look

[nightwalker]

LOOKS LIKE CRAP! haha! ...J/k man. I'm just jealous. One day, I'll get a paint job too. Then I can finally see reflections in my paint like yours.

[cr00k_lyn]

NICE....more pics ! plz :mepoke:

[fujiwara]

that shit looks very clean man.....i love the wingless look
yah wingless is my favorite as well. i couldn't find a wing that i liked, so i just got the holes filled in.

nightwalker: thanks man... but i'd say im about 90% satisfied with the job. theres some small instances of overspray and some orange peel here and there. i guess i can't complain at all for the price i paid, and for the amount of body work they had to do. (car was in a rear 1/4 panel accident before i sent it in)

cr00k_lyn: i'll try and take some more today

heres a small mod list:
apexi coilovers
MB Motorsports klazzy lims. 17X9 17off, 17X8 27off :bigok:
falken FGK's, 245's & 235's
front / rear strut bar
short shifter
momo wheel / sparco seat
aem intake

next comes the LSD and RUCA.

[fujiwara]

just for the record to all you zenki lovers... my car came with a kouki front end, and i switched to zenki, and spent the extra money i made on my wheels. i must say i like zenki better.. seems to flow

seems like a zenki revolution afoot. Nice job.

:bigok: .

[kazuo]

You need a rear valence (unless I am stupid; I don't see it)...

Maybe a 5mm spacer up front...

But otherwise I love it. Nice and clean.

Props to you!

[Ritz S14]

Very clean. Loving how they painted the base of the side mirrors.

[csdcowboy]

Very nice...I love those rims on your car....very sexy! :)

[ThatGuy]

Car looks very clean, but I think it needs rear valences.

[MakotoS13]

those look like mb motoring wheels, no?

[axiomatik]

those look like mb motoring wheels, no?

MB Motorsports klazzy lims. 17X9 17off, 17X8 27off

perhaps...

[kingsol]

nice wheels, but i think you could still use spacers... maybe a 10 in the front and 5 in the back

[Salty_X]

I really like it overall, but there are a couple things... :D Mainly the sideskirts with stock front bumper and no rear, I think it'd look much better without them. I think it would also help if the lip and mirrors were black, but that's just me. Some spacers in the front wouldn't hurt either.
I still like the car though. Good job. :)

[los]

How much was the paint job?

[fujiwara]

spacers eh? might be a good idea...

as for the side skirts and front... i personally think they look ok, but i do realize i need some sort of rear under valeance. looks sorta empty.

los: 1400. my car was hit in the rear 1/4 when i sent it in, so he had to do some major body work as well as the paint.

[los]

Hmmm...Where is the shop located?

[95Blue240sx]

looking good. the color you had before looks pretty damn nice. im not a fan a white but hey it looks good. time for you to get a rear valence! good job

Zenki Revolution!!! LMAO

[RBS14]

why is there such a lack of camber up front? looks really weird to me.

I second what Kazuo said.

other than that, it looks great! good job.

[TokyoNights]

nOOOOOOO! you killed the kouki. You need a silvia grill and some valances also,,i got some for sale if ya want them ;)

[CreAziaN]

your old kouki was beautiful. The new zenki is nice, but i'm not a real fan of the USDM front bumper. Besides that, I must say that car is AWESOME. The rims are great...how much did they cost?

[Flybert]

Why'd you get rid of the kouki tails? They look so much better.

[CreAziaN]

Why'd you get rid of the kouki tails? They look so much better.

full zenki conversion :keke:

[240Stilo]

Not sure how much camber is up front stock but I'm pretty sure you might be off.From my experience with stock alignment, I was able to fit 17x8 +10 up front with 235/45 tires. Only time it rubbed was driving downhill "fast" and going into a turn where the ground leveled off midturn. Turns like that put lots of force on the front corners, but it wasn't anything drastic enough to rip a fender or anything.

[RBS14]

werd, you should always have at least as much front camber as rear, if not more.

[old_s13]

car looks good, gets my approval.. i'de rock it.

nice to see a clean car, its a breath of fresh air from the SHIT i've seen posted on here lately.

[fujiwara]

los: whittier

flybert: i never had kouki tails, the car is a zenki and came with a kouki front, and i just put the zenki back on to match the rest.

about the camber... i know im in dire need of RUCA's, but im not really sure about the lack of front camber. i know that i am running apexi crapsport coilovers which dont have plates, but i would still think that lowering it the amount i did would increase camber noticably.

CreAziaN: 850 shipped with tires mounted and balanced =].

mikespeed: already have a grill, but rear valeances i'd consider. ill shoot ya a pm.

thanks for the comments**

[mellojoe]

Did you have to pull the fenders to fit 245's on 9" wide wheels in the rear?

and are those 245/45/17? or 245/40s? or what?

[240silvia]

Looks good, nice wheels... what are they???? Nice offset. Get some skirts for the rear and NO spoiler!

[jdm538]

i love it!!! looks really clean, oh yeah im rocking the front lip from his old kouki front..

[scottie]

VERY CLEAN! I am going with the same paint scheme on my S13 Coupe this christmas. I like the whole car. I would not change anything, unless you wanted to add a rear valence. I love the front. Very nice, and like someone else said, its a breathe of fresh air!

-scott

[jnshk]

The car looks awesome! Very clean look. I'm a sucker for white cars with bronze wheels (http://photography.somethingsquare.com/z/04_06_03_Z_Parking_Lots_11) though.

[WILDACEX187]

why do u people in cali have such cool cars. i hate u all for that. and wat does MB stand for cuz those rims are hot? great job




p.s. i hate u

[MrSkinny]

looks like my zenki cept i finished off the ext mods heh

http://ca.geocities.com/[email protected]/DSC06190Medium.JPG

[crazy9ceguy]

is that a bomex sideskirt

[MrSkinny]

nismo 270r. bomex is uglier imo heh

[WILDACEX187]

stop bottoming out so much.

[The Riot Hero]

id have run the 17x9s at all 4 corners, awesome lookin car.

[Maxtype 240]

Why'd you get rid of the kouki tails? They look so much better.

Zenki tails are better! I traded my zenki front in but never my rear!

Car looks great!

Jesse

[fujiwara]

if i would have done it again i think i would go 17X9 with 255's all around.

i like the kouki tails a lot better... i'd keep them if my car came with them.

[fujiwara]

car might be for sale... http://www.zilvia.net/f/showthread.php?t=67635

[turtl631]

Looks great, I've got a white zenki and I'll be getting those wheels once they ahve them in stock again. Probably 17x8 +28 all around so I can rotate and to save weight. Looks great! I'm torn between gunmetal and bronze for them now...17x9 all around would be hot, but I think it might be hard to fit them between the fenders and coilovers with 255s on stock alignment. Anyways, nice zenki :)

[w1ngzer0]

you are one lucky fukin bastard :) Another great lookin 240sx

[final act]

so you just got it back from the shop and it looks good, but why does it say in your sig, car might be for sale?
well it sucks that your thinking of selling, when you just got it back....but whatever floats your boat.

[rainier]

so this thread is about 2 months old.

[95zilvia]

where did u buy your tires from fujiwara? i am looking to buy a set just like it, the price seems really good.

i went to discout tire and only found up to 17x8 do you have to call to special order or soemting the bigger sizes?

edit:: i found you can get them on wheelsdirectonline for $137/rim with free shipping. damn, i think ima get them!

[mr_240sx]

nice clean ride man!! I really like how your wheels really flow with the car!! :yum:
