S15 conversion question - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

NiTtOz78 · 11-17-2001, 11:01 PM

i am fairly new to the nissan scene, but i was wondering if the s15 conversion is available for the 95 and up 240sx models?

as for the conversion..any good sites you guys could recommend ?

matic 240sx · 11-17-2001, 11:15 PM

yea its available,  http://www.visracing.com/  click nissan then under 240sx its like the second or third kit

tristarx · 11-17-2001, 11:20 PM

The VIS racing kit will fit like crap. So you paid what you get..

Tx.

matic 240sx · 11-17-2001, 11:23 PM

yea, now how do u know?  you have one?   i met a guy in new orleans with it and it looked perfect

BlankFlip · 11-17-2001, 11:23 PM

here's the link for the s14 97-98 s15 kit:

http://www.visracing.com/bodykits/nissan/97-98240sx/striker.html

n here's a pic of an s13 w/ it done.

i haven't seen a kit for the s13 yet, but i remember reading that the side fenders won't bolt onto an s13 or s14 chassis so u would need fiberglass copies. if u have an s14 97-98 though then ur all set.

matic 240sx · 11-17-2001, 11:26 PM

BTW,  everything aftermarket has a fitment problem if you ask me...  and every body kit will take some force or some form of altering to make it fit...   something everyone i know with body kits and conversions will tell you...  

BlankFlip · 11-17-2001, 11:32 PM

yeah, whenever i mention a body kit to anybody the automatic reaction is "i heard those don't fit like they're supposed to." i'm sure they all get on there one way or another, it's not like they're stock parts from the dealership u know.

While we're on this topic, do you guys know if the stock MCS14 fronts will bolt on directly onto a S13? Thanks

91CRXsiR · 11-18-2001, 02:46 AM

bomex fits pretty good.. but its so expensive.. VIS uses cheaper fiberglass so they can give you a cheaper price.. so if you want a HIGH QUALITY (still crack on ur ass) fiberglass go with a japan brand

dragongoose · 11-20-2001, 07:43 AM

s15 is definitely worth it and while it is an SR20-DET its much better and better than the CA18DET. As far as modifying the SR you don't really need to, just go and get a T28 Garrett off an RB25-DET or similar and you get much more...it is a direct bolt on....Its off a Skyline GTS I think........as for the transplant see a qualified performance mechanic first........and it really is easy and get a half cut through a japanese engine importer....I did and I am really happy

I think this is about body kits-only. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'>

OH #### NO!!!!! Each engine has it's plus and minus's and the SR edge's out the CA but to say it is leaps and bounds ahead of the CA would be a joke.  While I'm at it, a T28 turbo (comes stock on s14/15 SR's) is a direct fit but there is always something that needs altered, it's not a simple remove and readd, ussually you need something shaved, rotated, realligned. As for it being easy, of course it is SINCE YOU PAID A MECHANIC TO DO IT.

Will the S15 conversion work on a 90' Fastback?
Also do these fit well

BlankFlip · 11-20-2001, 06:00 PM

if u go to my first post, i put a pic of an s13 w/ the s15 front end conversion.

Zemus · 11-20-2001, 06:06 PM

but will the boost one look like the pic they show, or will it looks like somthing else

Zemus · 11-20-2001, 06:48 PM

come on ppl, i need to know

NiTtOz78 · 11-20-2001, 10:05 PM

hey guys thanks for your help..im in the process of saving up for a 240 and i just wanted to know what im getting into. buying a 240sx or a 99 civic hatch. used, they go for around the same price..so im trying to get as much info..

for a 240sx..i would love to have the s15 conversion  w/ the Vertex bumper as well as the DET swap

S13Grl · 11-20-2001, 10:08 PM

It'll only be natural for me to tell you to go with the 240. And I'm gonna do that <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>.
