January 14, 200421 yr comment_64119 This may be a little late (didn't check the post date) but there are a few more different mouldings/items that won't fit.Front and rear screen chrome surrounds- can't swap.Rear light panel- can't swapRear boot lid- can't swapRear boot, light chrome surrounds-can't swapDoor and rear window chrome trim- can't swapAll glass- can't swapRear seat- can't swapApart from that everything else is it's a straight bolt in; wheelbase length on K's are the same, so tailshaft lengths, g'boxes, etc etc is identical.James Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/9602-parts-swapping-240k-sedan-to-coupe/#findComment-64119 Share on other sites More sharing options...

January 14, 200421 yr comment_64156 I'm on the case for the flares, guy in Melb has original Nissan flare moulds so I'll try to get in touch with again soon. Or you could try another member here, Alfadog(Lachlan) who's just informed me he got his flares from Japan. We also have Kyteler (Michael) who owns a K as well. The K list is growing all the time, but the cars are becoming harder to find!!!

January 14, 200421 yr Author comment_64158 would like to get the lower extension for the front lip/new fiberglass panel as they look weird as they are higher then the body if you are looking at the car side ways Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/9602-parts-swapping-240k-sedan-to-coupe/#findComment-64158 Share on other sites More sharing options...
January 14, 200421 yr comment_64164 Yeah if/when I get another set of flares that's all I'll be fitting.Considering for the time being my car will be a daily driver I think the rear and front spoilers would over do it; weekend car, no worries I would fit it all on!The cars look pretty good just with flares as well, mine was lowered all round and looked good.

January 17, 200421 yr Author comment_64738 Hey how much did it cost you to lower your car? cos it does make a lot of difference when the car is lower than stock.

January 18, 200421 yr comment_64805 Costs to lower the car = $0.00Cut an inch off the front springs, wouldn't do it more than that on stock struts.Rear, likewise, be prepared put up with some negative camber. Be sure not to cut too much off at a time.There are obviously better ways to lower a car, ie lowered springs, shorter struts etc but I found the car handled pretty good so didn't bother.I already had heavy duty springs all round, so they're stiffer than stock and provide better handling.James Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/9602-parts-swapping-240k-sedan-to-coupe/#findComment-64805 Share on other sites More sharing options...
