240sx/Silvia Windshields.

[Nesquick]

so im going to be replacing my windshield due to lots of cracks and what not...

The car is a S14 Kouki Silvia. Question is... would a Kouki 240sx windshield work to replace?

iv called a few shops, and they say that they are different

what do you guys think?

I would say probably. I had a hell of a time just finding somebody when putting glass in my CF hatch. Everybody thinks that JDM stuff is totally different. There may be a different anti-shatter film in it or something, but shape wise I think a USDM coupe glass would work. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong.

Yes they're the same. Is yours a legit silvia or converted? Just out of curiosity

[Nashville91s13]

Hopefully it's a legit silvia...lol...if not there's no reason to even ask the question.

I thought they were the same too, but a shop I know for a FACT that did a windshield swap for a different JDM car said they had ordered a USDM one and it didnt fit .
Legit all the way

Hopefully it's a legit silvia...lol...if not there's no reason to even ask the question.

common sense winner right here


i have also emailed all the nissan dealerships in my area, and asked them to run a part number search for JDM vs USDM windshields. hopefully they can put a definative answer to it as well.

[Nashville91s13]

Hopefully they can help you out. They probably do have different part numbers due to the USDM being U.S. DOT.

[OutToWinPAHC]

It's not the same part number, the windshields are different......

But you can use it, but the window for the VIN will be on the wrong side, and it will have AS1 lines which the JDM version does not. AS1 are the little printed marks on the windshield that the dept of highway safety says you cannot safely tint below. Other than that... it's what it is S14 glass for an S14

Thanks for the quick help guys!!

Thank him ^^^ lol Just wanted to put in my $.02 to get the ball rolling

Well you obviously have no idea how many people convert them to rhd and everything and call them silvias. Just wanted to make sure

[Nashville91s13]

Oh thanks man. I appreciate your insight. Cause there is no way to tell a converted one from an original AT ALL lol
