I can't find any reference to the old Strawberry face kit that I know existed to transform an S13 to an S14 front. I guess it makes sense that it can't be found since it would be a lot of work just to make you car look like another discontinued model.

I'm going to keep looking, but I don't buy this whole Strawberry is close to 15 in Japanese stuff that a lot of people seem to be spouting because I know I heard the term before the S15 was released, and I also haven't seen many Engrish terms to be that logically constructed.

Oh yah, what you running now on the RB? You done anything else to it lately?
Actually, that's my Fiance's car, not mine. I did it for her for her birthday to be nice. She loves it as do I....I'm jealous actually. I do have the Skyline tail lights which will go on it shortly and a GT-R wing will accompany it. I'm gonna turn it into a LHD Skyline for all it's worth. I am dropping a RB20 into it in a month or two.

My RB will be finished in about 12 days....Hot Import Nights is near. Paint job this weekend, engine complete next week. This week I finished all the body work and stereo as well as interior. It's about ready to roll as an 11 second show car.

ICHIGO=STRAWBERRY
ICHI GO=ONE FIVE
why would you call an S14 Face conversion strawberry? its strawberry face because its an S15 front.

Any connection between 'Strawberry' and '15' are coincidence. The S14 conversion kit was sold as Strawberry face before there even WAS an S15.

you're probably thinking of the term ichi go before... but before the s15 front ends, its probably not used in this way...its always been sort of a play on words.... happens alot in japanese language
