I'm not entirely sure but I think the one for the S14 will work but for the 15 you need a kit. Again, i'm not entirely sure about this.

You'll need a kit if you want to install either the S14 or S15 front end. I'm not sure either if the fenders for either cars will bolt straight up to your chassis. For sure you'll need to change the radiator core support in order to get the headlights in. Too much work involved, why not just go with a Silvia conversion?

NO, it doesn't work. You can buy S15 conversion kits for around $3500. Paying that much to change the look of your front end is stupid. And I think a Silvia front end conversion loks like a revved up Stanza. I LOVE the stock USDM front end, but it's up to you. Silvia conversion runs about a grand, and it IS bolt up.
