sileighty. what a waste should give it to me to put on my convertible

EDIT: btw, where on the Z-1 site is the price for their front ends? I've been looking at doing this conversion for well over a year now, but have been hesitant to drop $800-$1000 on junkyard front end parts.

Paint it white. Looks nice. I dun really like the bumper cause it looks too OEM JDM. I saw the bomex kit for the s13 pulsar kit and it was awesome.

put it on a container for me then i live near a port city.

bobaab. that's exactly where i got the name from. used to run a website dedicated to the show many years ago.

EDIT: that's an early gen Qs bumper. Never really liked them. Of course the Ks of that year was a Qs bumper with a cut out on the driver side for air to pass over the SMIC. Nissan wised up, and when they revised the silvia in '90, it got a new bumper for the Ks that looks a lot better than the old 88-89 bumpers.

Thats when you just start either looking for a new frontmount 'cooler, or change the frontbar..

the stock cooler is less useful then Bart himself.. i got lucky, and hwne i bought my car it had a toyota supra 'cooler on it.. bigger then the stockie, and sits right in the middle of the bar.. siiick

dont do the sr20, if your gonna replace it with a turbo nissan engine do the rb25, its so much more fun. the turbo doesnt lag at all, the damn thing runs about 300 horses, stock, and its not any harder to do. the engine shop that we work with just finished doing one, not their first, just the first one ive seen, and it looked great, sounded great, and ran even better. the thing would almost hold with our saleen. and thats saying a lot.

i agree, the sr20 motors are used in almost all of the silvias. i would say go with a rb motor. i have even seen a rb26dett motor in a silvia. they are more powerful, stronger, and a lot more unique.
