Sorry, "zone 18" would refer to UTM.  But New Jersey State Plane
Coordinate System is *not* UTM.

In proj'eese:

# 2900: new jersey ---: nad27
<2900> proj=tmerc  a=6378206.4 es=.006768657997291094
lon_0=-74d40 lat_0=38d50 k=.999975
x_0=609601.2192024384 y_0=0
no_defs <>

# 2900: new jersey ---: nad83
<2900> proj=tmerc  a=6378137 es=.0066943800229
lon_0=-74d30 lat_0=38d50 k=.9999
x_0=150000 y_0=0

Or, if PROJ.4 is installed on your system, you can use nad2nad.
