BEISSEN · 06-13-2002, 09:04 PM

Hey cody did the bomex fit on perfectly and also are those the bomex side skirts cus they look huge/hidious.I like the bumper tho.

s14vaxlr8 · 06-13-2002, 09:13 PM

well i think they form better with the front end than the bomex sides, they are the vis extreme sides

*transient* · 06-13-2002, 09:20 PM

I think they'll look more subtle when they're painted. They'll probably look pretty sweet. That's a nice conversion, just please tell me you're painting it soon <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

reminds me of mine  <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/hehe.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':hehe:'>   And imo, i think those sides do look better than the bomex ones.
Ive been trying to find those kouki signals 4ever, and when i did find sum, they were so expensif.  How much did u get yours for and was it from ings-net.com??

I see also that u have that bumper reinforcement that held your old signal lights.  If u can see i my sig, that reinforcement got in the way and looks as tho it needs sum Cutting...lemme know if u got the same prob

SimpleS14 · 06-14-2002, 09:37 AM

Nice job!!!

Maybe you can give us some tips or instructions on how to do this.  Everything looks good...how long did it take you to do this?

damn that is one nice car, your ims look very nice on your car.

Nismos14 · 06-14-2002, 12:43 PM

man i really don't like any of the aftermarket sideskirts for s-14's but i love the stock 97-98 ones u shoulda got those <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

s14vaxlr8 · 06-14-2002, 12:44 PM

with the reinforcment in order to fit the ings clear lenses in you have cut the reinforcement, im picking all the rest of the parts up today at nissan (reinforcement 98 and retainer clip)
plus 2 more side maker plug to wire up bc the ings have 2 holes for lights.

no joke install without bs-ing around took probably 2-3 hours
wiring the headlights took some time to figure out, but was easier than expected

ps : trust me it wont be moved until its on the way to the paint shop <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

ings lenses are 133 from shawn@autoimaging

ridebmx · 06-16-2002, 02:21 AM

from my knowledge isnt it alot easier to paint bumper covers and side skirts when they are off the car...also been told they come out alot nicer...just from what ive been told by the people i checked into to paint my car...unless your planning on taking them off to paint...

You want to block you kit first making sure that it fits and any holes that need to be drilled are done before paint.

Many times kits don't line up well, especially knockoff kits.  I've seen some kits that had to be sanded so low to line up that they were almost transparent.

derekg · 06-17-2002, 10:21 AM

sweet ride, i can't wait to see the finished product. hey can you link me to the sites where you order'd the conversion stuff? i thik getting a 95-96 240 is wiser and just make it look newer  <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/thumbs-up.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':thumbsup:'>

240sxer95 · 06-17-2002, 11:53 AM

how much did the whole conversion cost you? did you get your lights and fenders at nissan??

in everyons opinion is a 97-98 conversion worth the money?

s14vaxlr8 · 06-17-2002, 05:11 PM

every thing was prefit first

to my suprise i figured the vis sides wouldnt fit well but in those pics the skirts are not even held by anything, they clipped right on, perfect fit//must have accidentaly got the west coasts' layers, and they got the east coasts 15-20 layer of fiberglass...haha

and i didnt even have to 2nd guess bomex on their fittment <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/thumbs-up.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':thumbsup:'>

Zemus · 06-20-2002, 09:49 PM

how hard could it be to bolt that on the a 90' Fastback? cuz i am very interested in doing that, it would be very tight?

s14vaxlr8 · 06-21-2002, 04:57 PM

well i took it in wed to get painted, should take about a week, and im still waiting on my carbon fiber hood
