i have an 89 240sx fastback... and i would like to do the sil-eighty conversion. a friend of mine said that there's a kit out there, which you can just take out the flip up headlights... and bolt on a few mounts, and BAM! just screw the JDM silvia headlights in place and presto! instant conversion! does anybody know if this kit really exists?

 

sorry my bad... let me correct myself...

it's not just the mounts... but my friend said the kit includes JDM silvia headlights, the mounts, silvia hood, fenders, and front bumper.

 

yeah you can find s13 conversion kits on ebay all the time.

 

you can find it on ebay, 240 specialty shops, or import web sites

 

Silvia conversions range from $750-$950 for everything: Hood, fenders, bumper, headlights, corner lights, headlight brackets, etc..

 

spend the 1000 dollars on a ca18det, hella power, hella good price =D

 

i bought mine for $350 off this guy that lives in my neighborhood. he was getting rid of his 240 for whatever reason and since the conversion was already installed on his car he had to sell it bought for less. he originally bought it for $500. I have the bumper, fenders(sucks cuz it's fiberglass), triple beam projector headlights, corners, bumper supports, hood, bumper lights.

 

haha... thanks but no thanks... i'm actuall just gonna leave the ka20 in my car for a while... i'm not really all for the speed right now... cuz i can't afford it. if ihave that 1000 dollars for another engine.. i might as well put that 1000 dollars towards an sr20det. when i my car's exterior is fixed the way i want it to be... right before i paint it up, that's when i'm gonna get my sr20.

and naptime... that's a prettty good deal! i bought my car for $500, but it was all smashed up in the back. and i already put another $500 into the car, and that doesn't include the body yet. that's just the typical fees and maintenance. and i gotta get my framed pulled before anything else is done now. but at least that's only gonna cost me $250.

 

oh by the way... i found that there's 30mm widebody fenders for the silvia conversion... does anybody know if there's widebody fenders available for the rear quarter panels on a fastback? i saw a magazine a couple weeks back.. and there was a blue widebody 240 coupe. was it all custom work? or are there already made fenders?

 

Quite a few companies make wider front and rear fenders.

Just search around a bit, not too hard to find.
