...Well there is no such thing as a "drifter kit" but their are so many suspention mods and dial ins and bodykits.

You can consider a stock untouched 240SX as a drift car...although...look for different coilovers, bodykits you like the looks of (look in the gallery) different rims and tires that are sutable for looks+drifting, suspention adjustments (I use 0.135 toe -in with 2 degrees of neg camber front, 3 degrees to 6 degrees of neg. camber rear depending on downforce angle)


Many different types of suspention parts ava. All according to driver skill. best to get skilled stock than to throw money at parts.


Most meaningful to look through the gallery for s-13, s-14, s-15 and see what you like the looks of.

Most... the other stuff is established...some of it is hit & miss.

Please, let me try to not "flame" (you kdis call it) you, but look for "drift" kits that say "Ings" "CWest" "Vertex" "GP Sports" "Bomex" "Uras"

Companies that call their front ends "Drift Kits" are junk. I know you see them on those pages in magazines w/all those front ends on hondas and rikkiass cars, but those cars aren't drifted. So why buy a product made by a company that doesn't know what they are talking about? They also probably won't fit either.

Ok so what company makes that kit that I posted, I don't want to go cheap and get knockoff stuff, I owned a Honda, got a VIS kit, not a no blue class stuff or what ever that fits like crap. When I do something, I do it proper. Now I said a million times I'm new to 240's so if someone can kindly do me the favour of posting a 95-96 with that kit I posted on it, I assumed it was called drifter because thats the name I see it as all the time, so what is the proper name of that kit? and who makes it?

Its not a Drifter Kits as there is not such thing. I have no idea where you got that from but what your looking for (per your picture) is a s15 Front End Conversion, also reffered to as a Strawberry Front End Conversion. Talk to Leo (1fasts13) in the Group Buy Section, he might have a few left.

lol...i think i know what hes talking about.. there is a so-called "drifter" style kit out there somewhere. I have no idea who makes it though. Hopefully he is trying to get the kit for its looks rather than to be a drifter. i'll try and look for it during my lunch break.

btw..i couldvt sworn its just a copy of the nismo or greddy one.

he's looking for a "drift" bumper on a 95-96 240sx..

you know like buddy club/ black widow / feels / ?... ah R33, R34 .. ??? ah you nissan guys wont know what im talking about..


either way they don't make that kit for that car im assuming you know this...

and I have never come across a picture of one.. there aren't enough 240s for them to want to make a cheap drift kit and you know that S15 front end conversion is the latest craze ( everyone and thier mom wants one ) so they opted to make that instead.

Umm, from the looks of it, this pic you posted IS of an S14 (with s15 front end, hehe)... Isn't there a thread in the Archives that lists body kit manufacturers? Go search for it, then look around at your options for the 95-96.

On a side note, I saw an Integra on Sunday with S15 headlights and R34 tails, I guess the kid should have just bought a Nissan...?

Last time i checked Vis Only made knockoffs. Anyways that "Drifter bumper" is called the Winning Bumper from japan and you can get that from Jspec for about $700. BTW if you actually had tried to look for the bumper you would see that Vis is selling the knockoff.

him asking for a picture of a kit that WAS ****ing marketed as "drift kit" for whatever the **** the reason they had, has nothing to do with him wanting to drift or be a "drifta" so why flame and rant and bitch about **** thats really isnt relevant to the subject? everyone is a ricer, "rice this, rice that, ****ing poser drifta"

why some people have to turn every ****ing topic into flame-a-tron and just indulge in stupid **** contest, wTF??! too much testesterone?

sorry its just gets annoying reading the same **** after a while. dont want to reply and want just to call each other names like kids in kindergarden, then maybe you shouldnt post period.

Derr derr derr, that's why I said "drift" kits. I was saying it in his terms he would understand.
To break down what I said, is that those aero parts are what most people put on their cars that do drift, or are into it. To let him know what he should look out for, you know, quality parts. Then read the 2nd part of what I said. Seems you didn't. Think...

Damn looks like this bumper is only available with S15 swaps which is outta my $ range right now...boooooooooo
