1989 Nissan 240SX with S13-Silvia-Front and LS7-GM-V8!

Recently updated on February 23, 2022 at 11:02 am

Conversion kits with a modified frontthat imitate another model are an integral part of the tuning scene in Japan. We have often reported about such crazy creations, on which a new vehicle front was installed, which often has the design of a classic car. Just like recently when we reported on the latest creation from the Japanese tuning company DAMD. They will be a Lookalike kit for a Suzuki Every Van at the Tokyo Motor Show starting tomorrow, with which the cute kei van looks like a classic Land Rover Defender from the front. Of course there are the tuning parts with various other imitations and for many different vehicles. And today we're introducing you to a 1989 Nissan 240SX (Silvia S14) with a Front section of the Silvia S13, the direct predecessor, which is based in the USA, and comes with a big surprise under the hood.

JDM style at its best!

The vehicle that the VIN JN1HS34P4KW017456 is currently on the auction platform Bring a trailer auctioned, and will hopefully find a new owner who will look after the car and not push it over the limit! Unfortunately, it should be noted that the car has already had two more serious accidents, one of which occurred in 1991 and the other in 1994. Let's get back to the styling of the 240SX, which is next to the S13 front above 18 inch chrome rims with an artistic and playful look that comes from the Japanese company Work Wheels and the model name S1 hear, features.

An Wide body kit from Koguchi as well as one aerodynamics package from BN Sports named Type 2 were also attached, just like one Carbon bonnet with ventilation slots made by Chargespeed. But that's not all, because a powerful one GT rear wing and a new lighting system are also on the extraordinary Nissan. It should also be mentioned that the suspension have been completely revised, and thus a Stance tuning was carried out on the car. Equipped in this way, he is ready for the next JDM meeting and there he will certainly attract one or the other look.

The interior has also been modified!

It's sporty in the cockpit, because the driver is allowed in one Racing seat from Sparco take a seat and come with you before you start your journey Harness belts lash down. The rest of the passengers, on the other hand, have to linger on the standard seats because there is no second bucket seat in the vehicle! That's what this is for Back seat almost no longer usable because it became a Roll cage installed, which should provide more body rigidity on the racetrack.

The big surprise is under the hood!

Not a turbocharged Nissan engine, as you would expect from such a JDM-style vehicle, but a large-volume one LS7 V8 suction gasoline engine from the GM shelf ensures propulsion! The transplanted aggregate possesses powerful seven liters displacement and has also been provided with various modifications that result in a significant increase in performance. The engine already generates as standard 505 HP and 637 Newton meters maximum torque, and we suspect that this one will far outperform the brand. With this, the 240SX should achieve sensational performance and we hope that it will not be scrapped for the third time by its new owner. By the way, it is switched by means of Six-speed manual and only those are driven Rear wheels.

Our Conclusion to the extraordinary project:

A curious vehicle with a sad history that deserves to end up in loving collectors' hands.
