s 15 core support

[92droptop]

If ever there was a car more in need of a facelift, I've never seen nor heard of it. I'm glad someone picked it up who will (hopefully) de-rice and take good care of what left the factory as a good car. I wish you luck with your conversion, and keep us updated on your progress!

i see you put the life of the homemade vents at an end lol. nice work its coming along nice. when ur sittin around doin nuthing be sure to take of teh fake parts stickers. its already looking better man, im glad it didnt fall into the hands of a ricer. and good luck on the interior, if you get that interior worked out, you are officially my hero lol. one more thing, i thought that car had nitrous, keppin it or trashin it?

[jonesbplayer]

it has all the connections but I'm pulling them cuz I'm gonna do an engine swap, probably to a 5 speed manual. I got the core support taced on to line up the kit. I'm just waiting on the bumper lights fenders and hood to come in to do more adjusting b4 i do my final welding and mounting. I'll post pics of the core support tomorrow

[krash]

you wont be disapointed with it:only tough part i came across was unattaching a metal cable that attached to the back that gets pulled on as you adjust the slider on the front.

got alot more pics if u wanna see anything in peticular (pulled apart HVAC, led/bulb locations)

[attwater]

how much did you pull apart that HVAC? I did the whole job in 20 minutes and didn't need to pull much of anything apart.

[jonesbplayer]

sure send them alll to me I was gonna start today. You have perfect timing. I'll shoot you my email.

[jonesbplayer]

Hey attwater still need those light motors

[jonesbplayer]

started gutting everything on the inside

[jonesbplayer]

[JSvert240sx]

how much did you pull apart that HVAC? I did the whole job in 20 minutes and didn't need to pull much of anything apart.

After pulling it out, I just slid the two main pieces apart so I could see what sorta clearence the bulb/LED had, i realize i could have just removed the bulbs without pulling it apart, but it took me an extra 2 minutes and I was able to clean some serious dust out of mine...

edit:

FSM showed me that pushing these two tabs lets the whole thing slide apart...then I checked the clearence on the LED's till i got this:

I worked on the s15 headlights all weekend without my car handy to test. I found a small writeup (http://www.360realms.com/S13-S15/) thank you Yoshi. Although it was helpful there were a few things left out for example the colors were standard colors red black and green but there was one problem. Everyone knows the 240sx doesn't use standard color wires. So I found a complete OEM service manual for the s13 in pdf format. So ofcoarse I'll do a writeup for anyone else who plans on doing any kind of light conversion and want to know the right wire for the right function.
