This Kouki front ...where?

Iv been searching for good kits for my 98 240sx SE, the only ones that have catched my attention would be the R33 type from versusmotorsport.com, but i found a picture of this kit, now this kit is alittle different than the others, it has the same box structure and large air dam just like the r33, but it seems alittle more agressive due to the lack of those 2 holes that were found in the r33 front right above the large mouth that let good cooling in for the intercooler. Can anyone help me locate this bumper? thanks a bunch

www.drft.co.jp. they're owned by C-West and make some really awesome aero pieces. Yoshinori Koguchi's wild green D1 180SX has a DRFT front bumper on it.

nice site intro..........


I like that 180sx bumper they have..... I seem to like bumpers with some holes cutout up top kinda like ol hognose..... get some air to the radiator......especially if u have a FMIC blocking the hole up front, like on a 91-94 style bumper there would be nof resh air getting to the radiator...... that just doesn't seem to be like a good setup for someone living in florida who wants a turbo setup and likes to drive hard lol.

hognose bumper even looks cool with the lower spoiler.

I think someone posted a pic awhile back of a KSTYLE bumper or something.... Looked like a hognose bumper with bigger intercooler holes.... nice looking design.

i love the K-Style hognoser! IMO even a stock hog-nose looks good with an intercooler stuffed behind the lower opening...

I don't know about you guys but i noticed the little vents are actually nonfunctional.

so i grabbed a tool meant to open cardboard boxes and carved the mutherfukkers out.looks better and i think that's how it shoulda came from the factory.

fresh air to the top portion of my radiator now

cut em out.... gets air there, add a GT cooling panel or samilar home made contraption.. the GT ones are nice though..... they countour everything and cover that whole area..... in carbon fiber too, so it makes a nice dress up piece.... isn't all the expensive either around 100 bucks.

That way all that new air comming in up top actually gets channeled into the radiator......

I think about these things a lot living in South Florida and all hehe,,, seems like it gets hotter every year.

That bumper was custom fabricated from a real R33 bumper but Vis Racing makes a similar one.

Nothing inherently wrong with Vis, they just have fitment/quality issues.
