This is what I have so far.....  I am not spending money on the KA since I don't know if I want to swap or turbo it.

Suspension

Eibach Sportlines
KYB AGX shocks
F/R Tower Bars

Exhaust

Either Blitz NUR Spec R  or
Apex'i N1

Exterior
S13 conversion
Bomex bumper
Bomex Type 3 wing

HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!  any pics/prices/where to buy would be great.

Also looking for a JDM Silvia Wheel, and 180SX rear light panel.  Thanks!

hmm well wat do you mean by S13 conversion. Do you not have an S13.
If you have an S13 Fastback you got part of 180SX transformation down. You should get the "kouki" tail lights, and a 180SX wing (its Type-X wing sumwhere not sure). Also get a good body kit (it doesnt have to be the JDM one but if you want it you can get it). I personally love the Cwest kit. I am not the right person to ask about suspension so I will let sum1 else solve that. I like the 5Zigen Typhoon rims.

My dream car is a black Fastback with gunmetal 5Zigen Typhoons, lowered, SR powered, 180SX wing, and One-line tails (juss to be different and I like the look), if I can find em or make them myself.

Or you could buy an actual S13 from Japan for $10K+. Soem place called J's-Garage can get you the car here. There is a post somewhere where somebody explained to me how much J's-Garage will run.

i was thinking about it...for the price of an sr conversion, getting the rear windows that say 180sx instead of 240sx, the rear type x spoiler and the later model type x taillights, floormats, steering wheel, side skirts, bumper etc

you could probably import a damn 180sx type x!  
even though it would be rhd instead of lhd

I ended up getting the 180SX side windows, however they did not come with the moldings, and Nissan does not sell the moldings. If you find the 180SX side windows, make sure it comes with the moldings to put them on, otherwise you will need to go to perhaps a custom sun roof shop to make moldings for you. I'll be going next week to see if he can put them in for me.

Suspension = IMO the best to do is a full Coil Over kit like Zeal, JIC, or TEIN. Or if $$ do not permit, go with KG/MM springs with KYB AGX's

Exhaust = IMO 5Zigen Fireball

Exterior = IMO 180SX Half Light Unit with projector lights
and either a Cwest or GP Sports G Four Kit.

Rims = IMO New Buddy Club P1 Racing II


Best thing is to be patient when modding up your car. Do it right the first time, that way no regrets in the future and shelling out more $$ for the correct parts.

Do you guys have that half light kit available?? &nbsp;thats hot@! &nbsp;the only thing close to that I've seen is the conversion on Clearcorners.com

[takumi123]

The clearcorners is made by mike that he rigged together, the Allround is company in Japan that started these. &nbsp;The Allround also comes with the air intake cover as well

The Light kits are air freighted from Japan 2 to 3 week delivery

[takumi123]

The BOV kits come with the pipe, otherwise there is the universal BOV. &nbsp;Still waiting on 300ZX availability
