Difference: 180sx and 240sx

currently i have a 95 240sx but im thinking about going old skool i found a jdm 1991 180sx right hand drive and i was just wondering what the difference is between the 180sx and the 240sx because i want to put a new bodykit on it and i cant find bodykits for the 180sx only for the 240 so im wonderin since they look exactly the same can i just use the 240 parts and the other question was how can i tell that its 2dr hatchback and not just a 2dr from looking at pics is there anyway to tell??

1995 240sx and 180sx body kits wont match..

Can you please revise what you just typed.. you confused the crap outta me lol

ohh whoa yea haha sorry dude no i have 95 240sx but im not talkin about that car im talkin about like a 91 240sx compared to a 91 180sx then would the kits match?? and how can i tell if its a hatchback or a 2dr non-hatch??

yeah the 180sx kits should fit the 89-94 240sx. 180sx's are all hatchbacks if I'm not mistaken. The kit should specify if it's for a coupe or a hatch, the main difference is usually the rear piece

why not just sell the car you have now and buy a 91 240. cheaper and you wont have to deal with being on the wrong side of the drivethru. not to mention it's UNREGISTERABLE.

you wont have to deal with being on the wrong side of the drivethru.


not at Rally's!! :lol2:

just hearing bodykit makes me cringe. 180sx aero ftw. yes 89 - 94 240's are the same as far as the body goes. and all 180sx's are hatchbacks, the japanese version of the usdm coupe is the silvia. i just dont understand why you would buy one of these ricer body kits for a 240, nevermind a 180. factory 180sx aero looks 10x better, check it out. youre entitled to your own opinion i guess.

oh im not lookin to put some ricer kit on it at all i want to do another s15 conversion except on this model haha thatd be crazy if i could find a s15 rear end somewhere that would actually fit haha id have the sickest car ever i dont think they make back ends for them tho lol but yea see the car i have i bought it like that now i want to do this all on my own you kno but im in canada so yes i can register my car haha thats a good point tho i cant go thru the drivethrough!! hahaha that sucks

our in and out also has a drive thru on the other side

s15 front with a s15 rear.....that would be a s15. Mating all that non sense on a s13 chasis would not be sick. It would be ugly as hell. S13's arn't really considered old school yet. I believe most people call a car thats 20+ years old, old school. Plus if you plan on doing a s15 front on the hatchback, you wouldnt need to look for 240sx body kits. They wont fit the s15 front.

A hatchback has a hatch. A coupe has a conventional style trunk(no glass connected to it). My car is a coupe if you get confused, click the link for a pic.

The 180sx was made until 98 in some countries so it's definitely not oldskool. A 91 hatchback is already 15 years old, but if you really want old skool get a 240Z or 280Z from the 70's.

dont say that. we talk like 240sx's are rare, but they are like civics compared to datsuns. 240's are already in the hands of many "unfit" owners... lets not put datsuns in those hands.

yeah the full type x kit looks nice. especially with some sports engines:naughty:

yea ive always liked the type x aero... subtle but not stock

It's up to you 240sx_95, its your money. Maybe you can turbo the ka or drop an sr in to back the "show" up ;)

Im sure it looks great and clean, but it wont once you deface it with an s15 front end and even the dream of an s15 rear! S15 front ends belong in one place, S15s! Dont ruin another car, especially an imported 180, with your "i want to b JDmTytEEE" garbage

if your looking for subtle...cant go wrong with either a gp sports kit (the red 180sx link) or a kouki front bumper (95-98 180sx) with kouki rear valances and sides (other 4 links) id go with either one really...all look clean as hell and not crazy F&F bodykits that i just hate... but only thing is that the optiona lip for the kouki bumper costs just as much as the actual bumper...gp sports kit is cheaper!!!

or if your looking to do S15 front end conversion(hopefully only the front end) you would need to look for S15 front bumpers to purchase and s15-s13 fenders if you do not like stock s15 fenders...other than that the rest of the 180sx body(sides and rear) can use 240sx fastback body parts.

if i were you id do the Kouki 180sx aero parts...cheaper in the long run if you doing full kit...or go with gp sports front(cleanest in my opinion) and get mix other parts for rear and side

agreed.

HAHA this boi is definte rice

I wonder what his S14 is packing, I'll make a bet with you all right now it doesn't dyno over 130whp haha....

"Greddy" I need ALL greddy parts to have the best haha

first off I personally think Greddy sucks the big one. I'd much rather have a Spearco intercooler then a Greddy one, or a TIAL BOV over a Greddy one... WAY overpriced garbage... all you are buying is overpriced hyped up garbage that is for the SHOW scene....

now if thats all you want, you can go ahead and do that... just don't associate with most 240sx owners or we will rip your head off, take a shit down your throat, then gut your car and give the JDM parts to goodwill bitch

The only way to make any front end conversion look nice, is not thru subtleness but by being a baller... You dont have it in ya, sorry hate to tell you!

uhh, and who are you? head salesdick at spearco? show us your car and a real reason greddy sucks, then bark your insults. Yes, i agree, he seems a bit rice. but at least he showed us what he has. I think i speak on behalf of most of this subforum when i say show us something to back up your response, or stop bitching.

actually greddy has better things out there than the norm your used to seeing that everyone buys, its just most people dont buck up for the better parts. I have greddy big brakes, EVERYONE knows ALCON(VERY respectable company) makes the brakes but there to greddy's customization...hence the gold look. All the old school greddy brake kits didnt even say greddy(grex) on them, just ALCON. Once they got a name for themselves and everyone knew it was an alcon setup, they proceeded to put greddy or grex on them. Look in alot of old jdm type magazines and what not. You'll see alot of cars with alcon brakes. They rock the jgtc cars too.

That guy probably has no clue of what greddy even is or what the mother company is.

Just like apex is a sub-company of apexera. They make satellites.......

chuki i agree, i duno if you misunderstood my post or not but im a fan of greddy's stuff. i just thought it was bullshit that this kid comes out saying greddy sucks just because they are expensive. if i made it seem like i thought greddy sucked, thats not what i meant. i was trying to say the opposite. sorry to confuse if i did so

oh no, i wasnt referring this to you. I was talking about the same guy you were. No worries bro.

get a coupe (not a hatch) and put a silvia front end on it forthewinonesh!ft!1!

you still havent told us how you will register that 180sx.

he said something about living in canada... are they registerable there?

it has to be a 91 or older i think.

enjuku sucks. at everything they do. gp sports sucks. non-model year conversions suck. widebody kits with sunk in gas doors suck. greddy is not horrible but it is overpriced.

i'm not sure about registering, but FINDING a shop around bc should be easier than finding sand in the desert.. i'm living on a small island on the coast of bc right now and i could look in my phone book and find a shop that would get me anything i wanted..
