I was looking at my friends side-view mirrors off his 240sx and was wondering if they would fit on my 86 zx. Does anyone know if they will fit and if they do how much work is required to make them fit....

 

i installed a F1 sideview mirror on mine like the ones they use on drifting cars.its made out of carbon fiber and i tell its probably 10x lighter than the stock ones its only $52 plus s&h on ebay. just make your own base for it to mount it where the stock usually mounts, so you dont have to drill on the doors it looks way better and specially for our cars z31's it needs all the help to make it light! i'll post mine next time

 

That would be awesome man, Ive been looking for new mirrors for the z31, I think it needs a better look, Im working on the look, Ive replaced the trunk lid from a 85, I fiberglassed over the windshield wiper motor hole and painted it again, Im thinking about doing a front end conversion but dont know if I should put all the money into it.

 

IF YOU THINK ITS WORTH IT GO FOR IT! IVE SEEN A LOT OF PICS OF AN "84-87" ZX THAT HAS AN 88-89 FRONT END AND IT LOOKS NICE. I WOULD DO IT IF I HAD THE SAME YEAR

 

Yeah I know what your saying, but ive been doing research on it and no one (website or anyone on z31.com) can give me a straight answer on what I need, i know that im going to need the front fascia, fenders...but im not sure if im going to need the hood and headlights as well...

 

yup your defenitely gonna need those to, and once you get the parts ITS A BOLT ON AFFAIR!!! HOOD.HEADLIGHTS,FENDERS & BUMPER!

 

If You Look At The Headlights The One For An 84-87 Are Longer And Has That Extra Light And None On The 88-89. There's One That I Saw, That He Only Changed The Front Bumper. It Looks Alright But Might As Well Do The Whole Thing Than Doing It Half ***! Right?

 

Now if I wanted to do the front end conversion, I definetely want to get a carbon fiber hood, do they make a hood for the 85, because I dont really want to have all that weight from the hood on there, since im probably going to be doing drift with this car....

 

$495 carbon fiber, check e-bay and type in "carbon fiber hood 300zx or z31"
they only make for 84-87 so your in luck.... to bad though i called the guys that makes it and they dont make for my year

 

that suxs man, i feel your pain there are things that they dont make for my year car, by any chance do you have pics of those side view mirrors that you installed, and what model car am i looking for for those side view mirrors...

 

ummm, they changed the headlights and the rest of the frontend, and the taillights in 87, not 88. im sure its just a typo.

 

What about the CraftSquare carbon fiber side mirrors?
Idea has been swimming in my head...not sure though.
