Where can one find sum nice exterior aftermarket parts for our s14?? 😕
I am looking for sum cool tail-lights like that on the purple s14 from the sns mag and also looking for different headlights 😮
I dont wanna do a s15 front though!! Are there any body kits available for the s14 in SA??
I am busy sourcing myself a set of 18's currently through a buddy of mine so i would like to get sum side skirts and maybe front and rear bumpers as well.
I would imagine you'd have to look at importing a kit. I've seen a ton of bumpers and stuff on eBay. Checkout this one for instance: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/NISSAN-JDM-SILVIA-s14-OEM-grill-240sx-200sx-nismo_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33645QQihZ011QQitemZ320071170223QQrdZ1
The guy says he imports to the states from Japan. If we can get stuff from China I have the channels already.
Or we could theoretically make up a huge order and share the shipping.
Many people just phone over there and apparently in other countries they have this amazing social technology called CLIENT SERVICE.
Maybe someone can also explain to us the odds of just modifying our existing kit or getting a fiberglass piece? Though hitting even a small pole might kill your radiator and FMIC 😉
Odds are if you ask Autostyle or BossAuto or NXgen even they might be able to get some stuff but I think it will be expensive.
I for one would love skyline styled taillights; I did see pictures of a red S13 with them but I can't find the link now.
Is your S14 stock?

Good luck in phoning Japan... 90% of the people can't talk English, some understand, most can't speak it... And even with the little Japanese I know, it was useless.
Phoning UK & US ja that we've done a couple of times... not all is as help full as one might think.
Well I would imagine that the guy who advertises on eBay from Japan would be the first one to try, especially if he has good reviews etc on eBay.
Or we can get expats to visit some tune shops etc.
I reckon the US/UK might be better to get along with but the real gems like Nismo and cheap parts come from the east. If it was PC's we'd be able to go to a trade show locally and pickup some contacts that are keen on exporting from the east. Places that import already might be able to help but I think price is always going to be fairly higher than buying direct.
I would be paranoid though with importing, waiting period is about a month, stuff can break, they can rip you off knowing that going there to sort things out is not really an option.
I'm still going to try buying one or two smaller items on eBay and see how it goes. Like a nismo license disk holder 😉
Thanks qewrty that is a really nice taillight set 😉 I also like the front corner indicators as well. Its got a crystal look to it 😛
Body kits are prob gonna be a headache to import especially if its a fibreglass one 😮 It will break or chip so easily!! But thanks for the link Qewrty 😉
Now i just need to get my 18's + FMIC + walbro pump + dump vavle and have my pipping made up and see how much cash i've got left for exterior parts 8)
i don't scheme a body kit will cost anything less than 12k...
So it's too expensive for me 🙁 i might modify the front bumper to 'expose' more of my MAAAHOOOOOSIVE FMIC tho 😀

You are probably right 😕 I might just go for a set of side skirts for now and also try and mod the front bumper a lil bit 😉

@ T-cam - Is he at the Nispec workshop in Athlone close to the old Gatti's??
Does he get them locally or does he also import them?
