I posted up a while back that I bought a vert, and ordered a Silvia front end for it, well I finally got time to install it. Before anyone comments, I know I need a SR20, but its coming soon enough.

P.S. To those that have swapped their front ends, I need help with headlight wiring. My headlights work, but the turn signals are all messed up!

for the wiring you need a testter and those bule splicers that you add a exciting wire to another.

not sure about his, but it took me roughly a shade over an hour to remove the old and install the new (air tools definately help). everything is an easy match up, wiring is the only time constraint.

Hmmm, was your original front end damaged prior to the front end swap?

not really...maybe if you did the car up to a certain point....for the most part if anything it will lower the cars value like all aftermarket stuff..
