hi i drive a honda and lately ive been thinking of wanting a 240sx for some rwd power

my car
2000 accord 4cyl vtec 150 hp
with intake, springs, and greddy exhaust soon

if i wanna get a 240 , i want to make it as close as i can to a S15. do you guys have any tips ?

what about engine swaps i know there are sr20's and the skyline engines but i am stilll a newb to nissan

which year willl give me some good options and how hard willl it all be

hopefuly i will c u guys more n more on this forum : )

 

welcome to the forums, more and more people are coming from honda's


If you want it as close to a S15 as possible...the best route to go is to get a S14(95-98 240sx...but 97-98 are more expensive) Search around for S15 front end conversions.

As for engines...there are a handful. Check out the engine swaps forum to find more info. BTW, you can always turbo the stock KA24 in there and have some major fun

Good options...all of the years but 89-90 dont have as many parts(stock engine wise). stick with 91-93 or 95-98

I think that should be enough, oh and search

 

is the s14 better cus its a coupe ? was there a s13 coupe in the us cus i know they had an s13 hatch 180 sx style

how about a rear bumper conversion to convert to an s15 and side conversion?

is the kouki 14a in any way easier to make look like a 15?


thx for thereply

 

BTW, moved to new members

There is both a S13 coupe and 180sx hatchback in the US, 89-93 are the years. Just letting you know, the S15 rear conversion on any 240sx is HIDEOUS imo. Looks plain horrible. Also...I like the hatchback more

 

welcome. yeah, u might not wanna do the S15 rear conversion. the body lines of the S14 and S15 are so different that the tail lights will look a little ridiculous back there. not to mention, i'm sure is some pretty pricey custom work. however, u can always keep costs down by using Pontiac Grand Am tails instead.

 

would the 14's body end up being closer to the 15 more than the 13 would ?

btw i noticed theres something about people looking down on other people who want to change their 240 to an s15 lol i was about to get flamed on some other forums or something

which year would be easy to do a taillight conversion

is the s13/240sx coupe gonna be closer or an s14 zenki/kouki

how will i work the side of the body because i notice it is very different on the 15 : )

i think the s13 hatch would be farther off so i dont know if i would choose that since the s15 was a coupe

 

it'd be alot easier to do the front conv. on an S14.. plus.. to get the S15 hood on the S13 on is a biatch to get even..

i'd leave the back of an S14 alone IMO..

 

ive seen a pic of a s13 coupe with a 15 conversion and i liked the taillights on that car

i duno but which taillights do u guys prefer : )

 

I like the stock taillights, that guy did a good full red look on them(stock, the turn signals are amber)

 

I love that headlight conversion. But I like the other s13 taillights. The ones of the hatchback.

 

We nissan people like to like to filter out the rice,but there is a place for everyone here on this forum! and welcome to forums


you could maybe look for a wide body kit for the s15 and do a lot of body work,you really should think twice about the rear lights. I personelly love the rear on the s14 (oh so sexy!)
