96 Zenki Valence Question - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

GSTracer05 · 03-12-2007, 07:48 PM

Hello,

So I need some fellow Zilvian opinions on Valences. I have a 96 Zenki with a SE Lip and Kouki Sideskirts (all in black) but I feel it looks incomplete without valences.

Any suggestions on what would look smooth on the car? If you can can post up some pics I'd really appreciate it or let me know where I can purchase them from. Im trying to keep the car as clean as possible.

Thanks for the help!

they don't really flow, take my word for it

search for posts by kognition, i believe his s14 race car has the valences and SE skirts, but it's a kouki

also, if u have a zenki, you should stick to zenki sides, they will match those valences better

They look fine, I have a set on mine with Kouki sides. There really isn't much options unless you want some aftermarket shit that fits like ass.

You have zenki oem valences on the car? Got any pics you can put up?

i have a 96 zenki as well. right now i just have an se lower lip, with everything stock. i think it flows good for the way it looks, and its cheap. all i did was buy the lip for $100, and slapped it on.

if i were to throw on parts, id consider getting all zenki navan/jdm oem parts, but with a more subtle wing. then again, i've always liked the look of the zenki more than the kouki.

personally i wouldn't mix n' match kouki parts. if i had to, i'd opt for the jdm kouki's more angular rear bumper, wing, and tailights, but i'd avoid the sideskirts. thats my opinion anyways.

It's a 98 that I put the correct front end back on (Zenki), so it came with the sideskirts. The front lip is color matched, so it flows pretty well. Sadly I don't have any pics of it, I don't take very many and it's apart again right now anyway.

kouki rear bumper + rear valence (naturally)

GSTracer05 · 03-13-2007, 09:29 AM

Thats my last resort as the bumper and valences plus paint and install is going to cost $$$.

those hang way lower than kouki skirts IIRC, they're made to go with the Ings skirts

cgguy · 03-13-2007, 03:17 PM

Those Ings skirts look really fat and bulky. The JDM nissan ones are nicer imo.

I'd sooner go with an aftermarket bumper..The only nice add on valences are ones from Varis...which you'll have a hard time finding since they no longer make them.

Then there's the JUN valences....not super ugly but very expensive.

and the German rear skirt that fits the euro bumper like in OptionZero's sig. btw, is that your car? you should have some FRP replicas made of that skirt...you'd make a killing.

OptionZero · 03-13-2007, 04:21 PM

Yes, it's my car. Maybe I want to be special and not rich? =P Lol.

it wouldn't fit unless you had the Euro bumper, anyways.

Just get a JDM rear bumper and the kouki aero valences, or stick to the zenki rears and zenki sides...or wutever u think matches up

Greddy also has valences, Fliprayzn240sx had 'em but said they fit poorly. Not sure if they're still made.
