where to buy s15 rear fenders - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

drunken_b0i · 02-06-2008, 10:31 PM

hello i just bought a 97 240sx im planning to do a full s15 conversion on the car and i mean full. I already got the parts for the front but really want to put a rear conversion on it..

if anyone can help me where to find it, that would be nice thanks

Dousan_PG · 02-06-2008, 10:31 PM

oem or aftermarket? like wide fneders

aftermarket: ORIGIN sells them
real....japan.

drunken_b0i · 02-06-2008, 10:39 PM

i am lookin for oem probley aftermarket too and i just placed a order for oem s15 tailights

OMGYO · 02-06-2008, 10:41 PM

http://www.venus-auto.com/ and there pretty damn cheap too...

lost_generation · 02-06-2008, 10:46 PM

i've thought about this before, doing rear overfenders and just modifing them to fit on the rear... but i was thinking more along a s13 (alot more similar to the s15)... but i'm sure i wouldnt have the ambition to get it to look good and fit right

but yeah... your best bet would be overfenders imo

drunken_b0i · 02-06-2008, 10:55 PM

cool thanks for da info fast reply's very nice

EDacIouSX · 02-06-2008, 10:59 PM

the amount of work and trouble you will do to make an s14 look like an s15 will cost you as much as it costs to import and legalize a s15...

But, I must ask... Why do you want to convert a s14 to a s15?????

02BRB20 · 02-06-2008, 11:00 PM

full S15 conversion is such a waste of money, but hey thats just my opinion

*kognition* · 02-06-2008, 11:21 PM

You can make an S14 look just as clean as an S15. And you will get more props by your peers for doing an S14 right over doing a conversion.

*fliprayzin240sx* · 02-07-2008, 12:45 AM

Gimme Your S14 Front End!!! Why waste a perfectly good headlights for some plastic S15 ones??? As far as the rears go, have fun finding a body shop who would be willing to do that conversion, its not a regular run of the mill conversion. Alot of cutting, welding and bondo to even make it not look like a complete ass. The last S15 rear end conversion Ive seen in norcal failed misearably at it...

yokotas13 · 02-07-2008, 12:51 AM

Well, there is a 180 with metla s15 fenders welded into it.
i will see if i can get a pic later this weekend

bo2o · 02-07-2008, 01:01 AM

watevers floats his boat. and it shouldnt cost as much to do.

lay the widebody cut up the rear to make the tails fit section the trunk then fiber glass teh whole rear. and your got s15 rear.

seems kinda of intresting.
i know theres no point of doing this but this might bring in some cool points.

if this guy wants his s14 to look like a s15 let him do so.

*fliprayzin240sx* · 02-07-2008, 01:23 AM

^^^WOW, you made it sound so fucking simple...sure cutting metal and laying bondo/fiberglass is easy but making shit line up and making it look flawless is another thing. That part is what makes it cost so damn fucking much...

Sure youre right, its ultimately his car. He could potentially make it work and not make the car look like utter shit. But to me, I appreciate the rarity of a true S14 kouki. If he screws the conversion up and hacks up the rear, thats 1 less clean S14 on the road...And again, I HAVE YET TO SEE A CLEAN ONE DONE PROPERLY. Again, if he pulls it off, props to him, but the chance of that is against him...

*kognition* · 02-07-2008, 01:46 AM

Well, we have to give out 2 cents before he ruins a perfectly good S14. Because
it's a 50/50 bet that he will resell the car for a newer obsession within six months. I am kidding. I had a couple glasses of wine... so i am going to drag my ass to bed nowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww wwwwwww.

*!Zar!* · 02-07-2008, 01:48 AM

Mmm.

Since you're in the bay.

Let me know how much you'll sell your kouki parts for.

Jigga jigga.

eastcoastS14 · 02-07-2008, 01:49 AM

honestly id just feel like it would be a whole lot of

"o shit! check out that S15, OMG!.......wait...wtf?.....steering wheel is on the left side?....awwww wtf?...FAIL!

or

- "hey man is that an S15???"

-"nah its a 240...i did a conversion"

-".......oo....well alright.. later"

and yes as ppl said probably a shit load of money to make look clean, I can only recall seeing a handfull of converted s15s, most s13.5s since the body lines are closer..never seen a full s14.5 that i can recall, and IMO it would have to be an overall badass car to pull it off, s14.5 with stock ka/sr would be serious failtown

*Antihero983* · 02-07-2008, 06:56 AM

YAY ANOTHER BUTCHERED S CHASSIS!!! gimme a fucking break.....

axiomatik · 02-07-2008, 07:41 AM

at least do it to some ragged 95, not a kouki.

fyi - 99% of s15 rear conversions look like complete ass. I expect yours will too.

dragon_x330 · 02-07-2008, 08:15 AM

Why waste the money/time on making a S14 look like a S15 when you can just import one for that much. It'll take a LOT of work to convert the rear end...

...good luck man. You're gonna need it.

Outrider · 02-07-2008, 08:16 AM

Just stick with the S15 front if the S15 is what you desire. That's the end that makes the S15 the car that it is. I just don't see it being worth a ton of money and time for some very normal looking tails.

jrocslider · 02-07-2008, 08:50 AM

Shiatsu's widebody S15 conversion thread
http://www.zilvia.net/f/showthread.p...ht=shiatsu+s15

everybody is hatin but you do what you wanna do. this is how its done right.

yeah its not an S14 but you get the idea.

Bushido · 02-07-2008, 08:58 AM

i don't care how much money you spend on trying to make an s14 looks like an s15, it's never gonna look right. the dimensions of the s14 are larger all around and the roof line will never be the same.

if you are obsessed with the looks of an s15, why not just get one? theres one for sale 5 minutes from me, legalized ready to drive.

95KA-Turbo · 02-07-2008, 09:09 AM

How much do S15s go for stateside? Say a completely stock one that is not legalized or anything?

blueshark123 · 02-07-2008, 09:38 AM

^I know I could have gotten a s15 for 21k spec-r non legalized

aa87 · 02-07-2008, 09:56 AM

In the end it will still be an s14.

I guarantee no matter how much body work you pull, it will still not have the aesthetics of an s15, there are so many factors that you might as well stick with s14 stuff. The roofline will look god awful along with the shapes and lines of the side and rear windows.

its a fail fail situation if you try.

vertex kit

drunken_b0i · 02-07-2008, 11:02 PM

mmm good feedbacks but i got money to blow. I would buy a s15 but cant legalize it in cali or nevada so there no point but to go with the s14.5 oh and the body kit i got is the gp sports.

the real question can you pull it off..... soo i got pplz workin on the front in las vegas and doin the rest in da bay as soon as i get the rear fenders im set.

racepar1 · 02-07-2008, 11:39 PM

In my opinion your car is what it is no matter how much "conversion" you do to it. A 240sx will NEVER be a silvia, it's just a 240sx with a janky RHD conversion and a motorswap (not that there is anything really special about a silvia). Your s-14 will always be an s-14 no matter what bodywork you put on it! Why deny it? If you want an s-15, buy an s-15. The bodywork will almost certainly not come out as good as expected as it is extremely difficult. When that happens all you have left is a hacked up s-14 that is essentially ruined.
