I'm sure a lot of people would love to have one like that. I'm in.

that doesn't even look good. belongs at the toilet.

For all of those seriously wanting the lip, I'd just wait for that.

That bird told me the same thing this weekend...

Well what's stopping you from buying the GT1 one lip?
It's available.

well, did you still want the rear bumper or anything?

This is Yuta BTW.

Sorry, it was an impulse purchase.
But please PM me how much you would want for the rear bumper shipped.

udon! · 01-09-2010, 11:35 PM

regarding the replica lip....

it sounds like a good idea. but i think that type x will be more played out, but hey its still good looking aero in my eyes.

Chris told me this in November of last year. I'm not sure when he made the change though. He test fitted the lip on my bumper and it was kinda tight, but once it was on, it fit really nice.

I am definitely interested in this. I want to get rid of my fiberglass lip, it's so stupid.

Who's the leader of this plan? Is it the arrowhead guy?

Hey,
Let's stop calling each other names and make this thread go bad. Let's treat each other with respect like we're supposed to. My friend has a complete GT1 kit, and I know that they need a copy of the lip to make one. GT 1 has a 180sx replica lip and a complete bumper that's connected to the lip like the one I've posted. Let's keep this clean.

No, actually that lip is a custom one-off peice. The GT1 lip is a FRP replica of the kouki lip.

I would be in for a GT-1 kit style lip. I was planning on making one myself.

Wait, you think it's not played out!?

cycles my man
everything has been played out at least once in the s-chassis world

Hell, I'm still reeling from the S14 kouki bandwagon of a few years back

Ahh... I was going by that pic posted which looks like a more aggressive lip

hot road and gt-1 still haven't had there day in the spot light.

there are still more trends to see.

GP - Gzero is my favorite right now. not too many use it.

All you need is the 180sx amber and clear turn signal with wires. Extend the wires to connect the side clear wires to the top square 180sx bumper lights and the amber wires to the bottom round amber lights on the bumper on your picture.It's just plug and play. The only modification you will do is extend the wires.
Here is a picture of the 180sx amber and clear turn signals that I'm talking about on CamryBronze car.

Pm me if you need more details.

Lol, I'm guessing you've never seen Pineapple Express. Disregard "bromosexual" from the rest of the post then.

Thank you, that sounds a lot simpler than I imagined it would be!
Although now I will have to buy those turn signals just for the harness, gosh darn kouki 180SX haha.

Unfortunately I'm not sure if my turn signals came with any wires or sockets. Although since they look orange, there might be sockets with amber bulbs in them after all? I'll have to check. If not, hopefully the sockets from the USDM or the half-clear chuki lights will work.

By the way, are the kouki turn signals dual-function by any chance, where they stay lit like the USDM turn signals, and flash brighter? Or are they single-function like the rear turn signals, where they're only on when flashing?

wh0aitznic0 · 01-10-2010, 08:38 PM

From what I understand, they're only single function (only come on when you turn on hazards/turn signals). Position lights are always on, though.

ill. · 01-10-2010, 08:55 PM

Factory Kouki is single function.

D-MAX makes dual function ones though...

CamryOnBronze · 01-10-2010, 09:53 PM

^ I think he is asking if the turn signals are dual function, not the position lights. I may be mistaken though...

Hey, my car. lol. I didn't get the wiring with my signals unfortunately, so I will need to figure this out at some point as well. I bet RussellM could get the harnesses from the kouki front... might take forever though. Maybe I will shoot him a PM.

ZX88 · 01-10-2010, 10:02 PM

HOT- THREAD 2000

you can modify your usdm oem bulbs to work in 180sx position lights. i just cut the hole in my dmax lights to fit the stock bulbs and sealed them with electrical tape.

thats another option.

Matej · 01-11-2010, 01:07 AM

For now I will see how the dual-function USDM turn signal socket fits and possibly use the kouki turn signals as the running lights & turn signals, so they can always be on.

Nissan Junkie · 01-11-2010, 01:11 AM

Wow, someday I will have Kouki aero.

The bulb is clear the light itself is amber

From what I know the turn signal only blinks and the parking lights ( the clear ones) are on all of the time

Mine did not come with wires but did come with sockets. I just wired it directly to the socked using a sodering gun (I dont know how to spell that). To figure out what does what cut one wire on the US socket (that is not the ground) then turn on your hazards or headlights to see what function that wire controlled. Atleast thats what I did.

CamryOnBronze · 01-11-2010, 12:42 PM

So I think this is on topic... if not, mods can delete it.

I'm still waiting on my Kouki front end from Japan, but I have the pics they sent me before it shipped. Do you guys think this crack can be repaired by a body shop?

I am guessing that it can be, but I would like some other opinions. If it can't be, I can always buy a new oem front bumper- but I'd love to save this one. Obviously I would want to do it right (i.e. no zip ties). It's funny, it looks like the turn signals were cleared out as well... I ordered new oem turn signals and position lamps, since one of the lamps was cracked and the signals are cleared out.

It was pricey, but I really wanted that OEM front lip.

lflkajfj12123 · 01-11-2010, 12:51 PM

repair it yourself, look for the guys thread who repaired his urethane kouki lip

its not too hard

wh0aitznic0 · 01-11-2010, 02:41 PM

Run NO turn signals and the DMAX position lights.

Looks MUCH better, in my opinion.
