badass s14 hoods other than msports?

[explod3]

anyone know of any really really nice vented s14 cf or fiberglass hoods other than the msport ones? I saw some sweet ones for the s2000 with like 12 vents, but I dont think anything like that exists for the 240 in the us. Anyone know of any? thanks!

[Drunk Bastard]

after seeing the msport in person, how could you want anything else? oh, except the invader, that one is sooo hawt!!!! :rolleyes:

BN Sports
D-Drug

um..those are somewhat availabe (Bn thru GTP--DDRUG through VS, Touge factory)

[ass15]

its all about how much you want to spend

i found that uras make nice very nice hood vents (universal) but since they don't stock em you 'll have to order through U.S import co. and it'll take 6 weeks or so..

suckss but other that i mean the vented hood are nice but they are expensive ..

[Dousan_PG]

vented hood? 5 to 1000 dollars depending on brand
unless you can get a friend in japan who can buy one for you cheap and ship it, but after shipping, at least 500 total

Signal is bringing in some of the kits they use on their silvias. They've got a full kit and carbon fiber ducted hood for zenki S14. You can get it through signal or More Japan

670 bones to ya, not including shipping.

Shipping body kits can cost you an arm and a leg. Average is about 150 bucks for a hood

I like the VIS INVADER

VIS invader

if its the one im thinking...
useless
great for shitty airflow
you dont need a vent on the radiator support

[ghostuss]

Well if you are in socal and you have a zenki then I got a hood you might be interested. I am selling my CF hood. It's looks like invader but not quit with better flow to it. I actually ordered an OEM hood but they shipped me a Vented. Here is the pic http://i.xanga.com/dfansclub/Me^_^.jpg

Hey dousan what's up? how's the s14 coming along? Is it track worthy yet?

As far as the VIS invader hood having a useless vent, yep I concur, but it does look really cool!!!! The only I want to add is that when comparing the invader to a OEM CF hood, I have to say the invader has much better high speed stability. I mean the invader doesn't move AT ALL compared to my old OEM CF hood, which at one point flexed sooo much that the hood mounting bolts actually came loose!!! WHOA.....!!

I'm thinking that this vent is creating some kind of down force air flow for the hood, keeping it down nice and snug.

Oh and for comparision, I had to use hood pins on my old CF hood cause it scared me to death, Invader.....no hood pins and I've gotten to 110mph with NO rattling. The key is the hood latch mounting position. Line the hood up right with the latch and your golden.

track worthy? i just ordered my fuel pump, 550s and some other cool shit. ill be near 270some HP on the s14 sr motor and turbine if i want haha..got everything. not bad for totalling a car before.

getting a hood next, i think im going MSports. that shit is awesome!

definately need the hood pins. sucks though, i hate hood pins! blah!
i need to get the ones like jspec had on the s13, with th elocking key. THATs the ticket.

[explod3]

hey dousan.. this is FinalKonnexion on benson's forum.. is it still down or is it just me?

anyways as far as the hood goes, i'm looking for something along the lines of http://www.alsjunkyard.com/abs14a-Bont-full.jpg
that. I don't understand why with so many people into 240sx's now that they don't import more jdm kits. Apparently people have the money to get them.. it's just the lack of availability.

funny, speaking of the invader hood, i had a dispute against newbies over at club240.com saying the invader hood works. what did one guy say "if the invader style didnt work, then Nismo wouldnt copy it" hahahahaha. apprently he doestn see the nismo hoods vent is far up more to the driver than invader. also some guy claims his invader hood will help out his TMIC

fucken newbies

anyways, anybody have pics of the msport hood? not the ones on their demo cars as seen on site, more like people hwo actually have it and taken pics.

dousan, i highly doubt those hoodpins with keys will work. they sell those all over. im sure theives have those type of keys already, UNLESS not to my knowledge those keys are all different.

[papershot]

[SilviaDriver]

[Drunk Bastard]

[Dousan_PG]

kouki different the zenki
b-road. dont know
silviadriver, i hate newbs who 'know it all'
im old and dont know shit

as far as the key, yeah i know but its less likely and also for people who find it funny to pull hood pins w/o your knowledge or show off your car w/o you there at events, yes its happened to my friends and yes it = broken hood AND windshield
its not for security of car, ist for keeping jackasses away from touching everything. and one less thing for me to lose.

[SilviaDriver]

aah, damn sucks for your friends. people have no respect for other peoples property nowadays. i would of ripped that fucks nuts off, shove it up his ass, and kick his ass so hard till he can taste his balls in his mouth.

some punk ass kids smashed my bros window juss to steal his basketball and backpack. wth bs is that!? he had his amp laying right there too along with expensive jackets.

i plan to also buy those key hood pins, since i cant find my other hood pins [fuck], and look into getting one with a custom lock/key. maybe ask a locksmith if he can replace the lock with another one and key, that way you have both your security of fucks opening your hood and security that nobody with a similar key can open it to steal your air filter.

but in any event, if im not too bz checking out ladies, and happen to get this one done, ill let you know if your interested

but your right, you are old and don tknow shit. haha jk
