thanks in advance

Search, spend some time in peoples build threads, research and research again any parts you might want to buy. Building a car is a process that you are going to go through, and a lengthy and frustrating process. There are vendors all around the outside of the page that you can research parts for, if you have questions about a certain part, call the vendor and get info about it. Post pics of your new ride in order to get some feedback on the car. And take ignorence with a grain of salt. There is alot of it and 1996N1ss@n240SX owns a majority of the ignorence. As far as the front end conversion is concerned search your local junkyards, the classifieds and use the little icon that is flashing "search" for any questions you may have. This forum is well layed out and the sections are labeled well and very useful. Spend time in the body section and look for front end conversions already complete, see what they went through and you will get an idea of what you will be going through. Dont however make 10 threads about "how do I do this?" or "where do I get this?" or "is this ebay part any good" these threads are fails, pretty much, if you would like to get a certain part, wheel, etc... dont be looking for a NICO approval on everything, just build the car to your liking and be happy with it.

This thread is a goddamned shame.

Sorry about all this, new guy. Here's everything you'll need for a Kouki conversion:http://www.mynismo.com/products/?ID=4089

But I urge you not to do it. Zenki's are really sexy and they should stay that way. Here's some inspiration:zer...zenki

I just wanted to say that I had the same intentions when i bought my S14. I wanted a S14 Kouki and figured if I got a zenki I would just convert it. Alas I did get a zenki and it has grown on me, I have no intentions of converting now. That and money can be spent on better things.

ha ha thanks for the input guys, especially simmode1.

I WAS gonna do the kouki swap and then i came across an sr20 for very very cheap, so now i have that in my garage

for some reason the kouki front just makes me drool, must be those headlights. maybe some zenki projectors will ease the pain? maybe....

posting pics in a bit

No prob, Rook!

BTW, Zenki's don't come with projectors. Regretfully, we have to retrofit them.
