i want to see this process!!

i need pics.

 

Will do. I'm planing on a full write up on this but I need the bumper before I can start. I need it to be able to line up the hood, lights, and fenders. I just got done painting the engine bay yesterday and plan on finishing this front end by next weekend if possible. Just one bumper short and trust me I've tried lookign for it.

 

that looks like some sort of afytermarket peice in that picture

 

o and what car do you have? s13 hatch coupe?s14?

 

I'm almost 100% sure that is the G-nose, but it's the fiberglass version. The reason I say that is because originally it had the metal bumper rail over top of it. Now there is a new version of the G-nose that comes in all fiberglass that eliminates the metal exterior bumper rail. I believe it was on the 78'. I hope this helps and good luck with the build.

 

I've got a 91 hatch to answer your last question. I looked at the G-nose for the 78's and it came close but the side vents inner support is different and the amount of lip is different but I will look at it again. Thanks. Here is a another pic of a front end style that I was considering and still I'm if I cant figure this bumper out.

 

that is a AP1 s2000 bumper. I have a used one for $50 here in Atl.

 

thought of modifying a soarer kit?

 

those (the blue, white, red etc ones) were actually a very very limited production (less than 100 made) kit from a company out in j-land a long time ago. pretty much, you are going to have to custom make it fit/make a one off. some i want to do! if you get it working, please post pics !

 

Correct for the most part.

It was ~$4,000 back in the day, the company went of out business IIRC.

I think it looks like crap for any other angle other than the front.

 

its cool , its just sooo long

 

I love this conversion but it does look a little long. I know it would take some serious modification, but is there anyway from looking at the stuff you've got, to cut the fenders down to size, to get a more original size ratio between the front tire, and the front bumper area.

look at this modded original z to see what I mean

 

In response to the last question about it being long. I noticed this as well and realized that something could be done to fix this. I just got done painting the engine bay so I will start to add the body panels on for this conversion and you will see what I have done to correct this. I could not make it as narrow as the original Z due to the set length of the 240 and where the rad core support sits. I have it set up so that it will work with a stock 240 hood and modified 240 fenders, with a custom front bumper and grill. Hopefully I will have pics soon; I had to register for class so funds got very low really quick.

 

this was a conversion kit made by a company called S'cre. I own the molds to this kit and am currently in the process of reproducing it for the US market.
it should be available for purchase by December 08.

 

What kind of pricing are we going to be looking at when this comes to market?

 

Truely an awesome conversion. Perfact combination of modern, and classic is just a beautiful way of customizing your car:thumbsup

 

just so u can get an idea of work ur about to get into.. this may sound crazy.. but get 2 1:24th scale models and try the front end conversion on those.. and it will give u an idea of how u will make the stuff line up.. the more u alter the factory Z fender line the more it will look like ass!

 

Sorry guys for the late update I've been busy with life issues...But anyways I'll get some pictures up this comning saturday of my progress that I have made and personally I think it looks as if its coming along quite nice. I had to take some time to finish up the motor rebuild and the refinishing of the engine bay. If I can get a strong enough wireless conection tonight from my neighbor then I'll post them later tonight, darn router went out on me this weekend....:crazyrant

 

Im looking forward to seeing this turn out. I would love to do this some day so MAKE SURE TO POST UP SOME DETAILS ON WHAT ALL HAD TO BE DONE!

 

..............

 

Hey Guys, Sorry for the late reply.
we are hoping to have it available by Feb 09, and should be available through any of our distributors or directly through us.
Welcome to Works Aero

thanks guys.

 

Well it's February of 2009. Any word on this kit being available?

 

It actually looks cool! A 240SX with a 240Z front end. I can't wait to see one of those in person.

^ you guys are crazy, the 240z and 240sx are two totally different looking cars, the kit makes it look so confused. a crazy long ass nose and a stock length rear? i bet anyone that owns one will destroy it on a curb in a week.

 

Well that sucks, the works aero site is an anti israel site.
So no kit, and I was hopin that this would come back, I want to do a Z conversion.

 

I don't think work aero is anti Israel, I think their site just got hacked by some cyber wanna be terrorist punk.

 

that conversion is horrible. let this thread burn in hell

 

Go away fly, we don't want your opinion in here.
