Anyone ever see an S14 nose on a hatch??? I've seen the coupe here on Nico...I think you should do that...the rest has been played out. If your looking to be different anyways.

I agree. I forget his name, but someone on here has that swap on a S13 coupe...two tone, widebody. Looks really nasty. I can't picture it on a hatch for some reason tho...

ive seen it before too, definately nasty in a good way. but that's a coupe. straighter lines than a hatch. a zenki s14 front would look better on your hatch imo.

I deff meant nasty in a good way. I guess the only real way to find out is to either do it or find someone with really good photoshop skills.

i say just go for the s13 silvia front end... all that other crap is over rated, and the body lines just dont fit.... really, they dont!

I really think that front end "needs" the wide fenders.

A standard Silvia FE looks most "at home" on a stock body.

I think that a front ends belong on the car they're supposed to be on. If you want an S14 front end get an S14.

That said, if you're gonna do a conversion:

If you have a hatch S13.5 looks good, better than S13 Sil front...I guess they're both Sil80's? Haha. I think the same design team that did the S13 did the S15...I don't know .5 seems to flow better than S13 Silvia.

If you have a coupe than S13 obvoiusly, S15 doesn't fit the body. S14 Kouki looks good because of the lines and angles...and is a great alternative to the ****ty S13 sivlia lighting provided you care about lighting.

Zenki S14 the .5 looks alright, .4 is always awesome; or you could appreciate what you have and keep that...

Kouki S14...if you kill a kouki you deserve a swift kick in the balls followed by a slow death.

My .02 cents on conversions.

If I weres you id rock the flip ups or s15 headlights.

Flipups look SO good on the hatches its not even funny. Especially if you like the Hella Old Skool Look.

S15 can look great with appropriat aero and paint. Dont forget nice offset wheels cause if your rockin some gay *** wheel Ill have to come visit you and slap you!

You dont put all that money into a front end conversion and keep ghey rims yo!

S15 front(if done right), S13 Silvia front, or the Kouki S13 pop-ups FTW.

Otherwise don't do it to the hatch man. Put the hood down, back away slowly.

I vote "work on your English and grammar skillz", but that wasn't an option...

So Ill have to say keep the stock front on it. It flows better with the hatch rear anyway. Maybe a S13 Kouki bumper and rear lights or something.
