Hey there. I'm new to this forum and to cars in general.
I recently bought my first car (1993 Zenki S14) and the boot lid is f***.
I would like to just facelift the whole back of the car and would like to know what exactly I need. I've struggled to find this info but I'm sure you guys could easily dig it up. There seem to be a million guides for a front end conversion but not back end. Do I just need a bootlid, spoiler, tail lights, garnish, and rear bumper?
Will I need a rear bumper support?
Thanks!

Wait, is the car a 93, or is it an S14? S14s didn't come out until 95.

Basically, I'm trying to figure out if you are just needing to repair a rear end, or if you area going to be doing some kind of rear end conversion on an S13.

If its the latter, you may also need rear 1/4 panels, which is probably why it isn't done very often... rear 1/4s are integrated into the vehicle and can't be unbolted/replaced.

It is a 1993 S14. My one was imported in from Japan. I am just doing a rear end repair/facelift on it.

It's not clear if you want a conversion or a repair. We would not consider them the same thing. Your questions do not state what you want to convert to, but we can tell what you're converting from. If you have pictures of the damaged trunk, you could post them with your questions. Yeah, the S14 has a bracket behind some foam behind the plastic bumper. If you look at the signature for PapaSmurf2k3, you see the link for FSM. You want to get that. Because it's in English and for the US states, you'll want to grab the 240sx S14 1995 manual. That has diagrams of all the parts, bolts and fasteners for your rear end.

For those following along, a quote from Wikipedia "The S14 Silvia debuted in Japan towards the end of 1993."
