Future: 240z on S13

[Subu]

In the future I want to put a 240z front end on my S13. Is there allot of front body fabrication needed or should it bolt right on? I don't believe it would be that easy but I'm not sure.

[SCato]

not a bad idea, i love the look. i read somewhere that it isnt that much fab. but its def. not bolt on. ne way id love to see it in real life

[Eric-RPS13-]

GO FOR IT!
man the first time I saw a pic I flipped out
I agree with scato, I wanna see one in person

[Subu]

I should start the project in July

[SCato]

This is the company that made the kit I believe and it's like $8000 IIRC.

[Subu]

lol I wont. If I'm spending my hard earned money on my project it's going to look good damn it

[omgwtfbbq]

Just get your car running first. No more 1st gear rev-limiter drifting for you. The 240-280z kit is ugly in my opinion, but prove me wrong. It's your car, you do what you want with it.

[SCato]

the white car is a 280z so as long as you stick with 240z and do it right it would be bad ass

[Subu]

Yeah I'm going to have it running way before then. Spooled is selling me his engine and I'll have it in soon after that.

I'm not going to do stupid shit with my car, like that one night, until I can actually drift.

[omgwtfbbq]

the white car is a 280z so as long as you stick with 240z and do it right it would be bad ass

It's a 280zx.

[Beez_S13]

yeah, theres not too much fabrication with that kit. but if you tried to take a real 240z and switch it, its not going to happen very easily. ive measured with my 240z. but i didnt do it because i plan on restoring mine still

[Subu]

The circle...when I do buy the front end I have to buy the fenders as well. But how do I get them to fit the door? Cut off and then round it until it fits flush?

[Beez_S13]

if you want, i have a 240z and you can come up here sometime and take measurements and what not. there will be several curve balls in it though, so you might want to.
like the fact that the fenders are wide as all get out,

and the fact that they wont fit very easily

[Z-Bryan]

:crying::crying:

poor s13

[Subu]

I'll try to come up once I fix my 240 to get those measurements.

Don't worry she'll look good and your tears will be in vain :taunt:

[zakkkaliscious]

its gonna look sick imo. dont do it on a coupe thats just wrong.

240s/zx ftw

[Subu]

I have a coupe lol

It will still look good. And if it doesn't I have time to switch back but I think it will be a "love at 1st sight" thing

Do you think someone could photoshop that? A coupe with a 240Z front?

[youngster603]

i think it will look goofy on a coupe. im not a huge fan of it on a hatch though so maybe my opinion doesn't count. i love that front end, when its on a 240z.

[zcrew]

i love that front end. it'd be interesting to see it on a coupe. the lines from a side shot may not be the greatest, but i think it could be okay

[Beez_S13]

i just love the 240z and cant wait to get it running

[Eric-RPS13-]

I think the hybrid should be called the 180zx

[s14.5gonewide]

[s14.5gonewide]

it would tak the same 2 do a 280 as a s13 pop up. as far as fab work goes

[Eric-RPS13-]

S14.3 is now my new obsession

[SCato]

if i had the money for a 14 and the money i would do pop ups on it, in a heartbeat

[Subu]

Nice idea

[youngster603]

s14.3's are pretty.

[Eric-RPS13-]

if i had the money for a 14 and the money i would do pop ups on it, in a heartbeat

[MOOREOFSTEPHEN]

[shawn shawn]

It will look terrible on a coupe...


a hatch at least shares similar lines w/ a 240z.
