If you are actually serious about doing this I would just go all out and use the hatch kouki tails. If anything that would look the best. I still don't agree with it though.

Im not sure exactly which style of hatch lights im gonna go with, definitly not the stock ones. I mainly just like the shape of the hatchback lights.. When i think of a 240, thats what i think of.. the coupe lights remind me of an integra or prelude... and i hate them.. I dont know, its just an idea and I like to be different.:12dunno

look at the 240sx forums logo... the only detailed feature are the hatch taillights.. they are a focal point

 

I would say the hatch is the odd ball of the 240 family. I mean the s14 and s15 are both offered as coupes and convertibles... not hatchbacks. I personally prefer the hatch, but everyone has their own opinion.

 

s14 convertable? have i missed something?:12dunno


oh and the light idea prob wont work the shap of the cars are different you will have big time alignment issues

 

hatch tails will never fit on a coupe without some major metal and bondo/fibreglass work.

 

from what i know a convertible s14 doesn't exists

 

Maybe conversions

 

im pretty sure those are both s13 convertibles with s14 front ends

 

and s14 tail lights/doors/and trunks?

 

ok.. u got me there.. it does look alot like an s13.4 vert though.. but those are both the same car, at different stages... those s13 wheels also helped sway me to think it was an s13

 

but s13 coupes never came w/that line on the rear qp, which leads me to believe that someone hacked the roof off that s14. zenki s14's did come w/4lug, mayb the owner came up on a set of s13 se wheels & threw om on as a thrasher set?

 

neither of those cars look safe

 

s14 convertable? have i missed something?

Yeah I guess I stated that kind of awkward. There was a s15 convertible and coupe but only s14 coupe. I'm pretty sure the s12 was a coupe as well. Back to the OT, your going to end up spending more time and money on a tail light conversion then it would take to buy an actual hatchback. Just suck it up and come to the dark side. Everyone hates a da9 replica.

 

^^ or instead of getting a hatch or its tailight housings, you could just get some origin/dmax lights for your coupe. i bought a pair of knockoffs from zoku racing on ebay for about 100bux shipped. they dont leak & look really good. then i proceeded to replace the 4 bulbs for the brake lights with superbrightleds.com 20led 1156 bulbs. i love the way these tails look w/the led's @ night. there pretty bright with the sun on em too. & thats only bout 130bux w/the housings & leds. if its even possible to mount the hatch tails on your coupe its gonna be atleast 1k in labor & materials. & dont go over to the darkside, the coupe may look like a da integra @ first glance, but atleast it wont be mistaken for a ford analprobe (no offense hatch owners, i still got love for ya). & the coupes are more structurally rigid & weigh less because the glass on the hatch is way bigger than the coupes. just my 2cents

^ those tails, legit or not, all comes from the same manufacture....lol


but @OP SERIOUSLY?!

 

this thread=fail

 

I cant be the only one who thinks this would be cool.. i know that the coupes are more squared off and that it would take some fabricating.. but the length and height isnt far off. i have a hatch back too, so its not like im going through withdrawls or anything.. i just think this would look cool.. i know its not gonna be a walk in the park, i didnt make this thread for ppl to tell me how hard it would be, i just wanted oppinions on if ppl would like this look or not..

 

I would walk past and think, "hey! that guy put hatch tails on a coupe! Why the fuck did he do that? I would have spent the money on a turbo or suspension or wheels or fixing the leaks in the roof cover"

 

There is a difference between "Cool" and a stupid amount of fabrication for no gains.

This subject falls into the last category.

If you want to do it, get out the Sawz-all and have at it....

 

^ +1, performance/maintenance b4 show is the name of the game

 

GO before SHOW

 

just keep it original, they only made 3,000 of those back in 94.. if u just kept t clean and put nice wheels on it,i think i would look way better imho

 

i think everyone should cut off their exhaust, cut their springs, weld their diff and start drifting until everyone dies or gets good at driving

end-all problem solver

 

^hahah, mike your a bit grumpy today.

And yes I'm pretty sure that you are the only one who likes this idea.

 

I think a r32 tail conversion would be much easier on a coupe, and would look better. It would be best complimented with a r32 front end conversion too though.

 

^yessir.
