white_raven Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 this may be an obvious question but will s30 kits fit on a s130? and if not its it hard to mod to make them fit? or would i be better of just getting an s30? i love the these kits but they are for the s30's http://www.thezstore.com/page/TZS/CTGY/BSC http://album.hybridz.org/data/500/120054134z_on_hatch.jpg any advice? i found a good deal on a s130 with l28et (which is the motor i want) and i dont know if i should just find a good s30 body and swap motors or mod one of those kits up to fit the s130? thanks! looking for what you guys thing would be the cheaper route...all the work either the swap or body work i can do myself...

nismopick Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Most all of the S30 MSA fiberglass body kits have the equivalent for the S130 (slightly different for fitting). FYI... that second pic you posted is a 240sx with an S30 front clip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naviathan Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Kits won't swap. the 280ZX is wider and longer than the 280Z. Keep in mind that although the S30 is sweet ( I love my 77 ) the S130 does have better areodynamics ( I also love my 81, 82 and 83 ). Just a thought.

white_raven Posted January 5, 2009 Author Share Posted January 5, 2009 i like both cars but i want the MSA TYPE III body kit, so i guess i i'll just have to find a s30 and swap motors! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't get it... they make the MSA Type III for both S30's & S130's..... http://www.thezstore.com/page/TZS/PROD/7FAD/50-1444 http://www.thezstore.com/page/TZS/PROD/7AD1/50-1439 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
260DET Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 My opinion, S130 body kits look gay. Arita front (see Vendors section here) plus a modest rear spoiler from MSA is the go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AK-Z Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 FYI... that second pic you posted is a 240sx with an S30 front clip. Wrong. That is a 240sx with a kit specially designed to make it look like a S30. body kit isn't interchangeable between 240sx and Z chassis.

hughdogz Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 From what I've seen, you can make S30 rear spoilers fit an S130, but that's probably about it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AK-Z Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 is the s30 kit for a 240sx for sale anywhere that you know of or is it a one off thing? not recently. they use to manufacture kits way back when and only in japan IIRC. The demand for them is almost nill now a days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerryb Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 I would buy one right away! not recently. they use to manufacture kits way back when and only in japan IIRC. The demand for them is almost nill now a days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
white_raven Posted January 6, 2009 Author Share Posted January 6, 2009 soo best bet will be to buy a s30 body and then just do the swap...i think the MSA III looks really good on the s30 i found a running s130 turbo with a few engine aftermarket parts but with extensive body damage for about 400... i'll just find a s30 body and do the swap! and get the msa III kit!
