don't flame me because i've searched and searched

i tried "silvia conversion" and "silvia front end" and found nothing that i want. are there any write-ups for doing the silvia front conversion? or are there any threads that have any insight onto how it's done/what needs to be done/all that jazz?

mine is coming in next week (hopefully) and then it's off to the body shop to get the front straightened out (search for my threads to find out why if you care to know)

on what an s14? why the hell would you want to change the kouki front end on an s14? Unless you've an s13, then that's a little bit different.

Which silvia front end were you trying to slap on? the s13 on an s13? Bolt up. Get the fenders, bumper cover, headlights, center piece, hood, headlight brackets and get to work. You'll end up pulling the bumper to make it all fit nice and dandy.

Otherwise, more details on which silvia on which 40.

hahaha, of course it's not for my s14. my sig says i have two 240's, a 92 and a 97. so yeah, it's for the 92 (zerothread?id=212976 that one to be exact)

i ordered the kit from panda garage. the reason i'm looking for a write up is because i've been told that you need to splice/cut/etc wires in order to get the headlights to work properly, and that's my biggest concern. everything else i can do no problem.
