I took my 91 240sx and folded the front drivers side wheel under the car by hitting a curb sideways. the car is fine with the exception of the parts that connect the wheel to the car and the wheel itself. If I purchased a Silvia S13 COMPLETE front clip would I be able to use pretty much most of those parts on my car to fix all the stuff that connects my wheel to the car or is there too big a difference?

Its teh same but the front clip won't come with the parts you need, generally a front clip only includes the frame. Theres really nothing useful on it, and anything that is has probably been banged to hell in the transit. You'd have better luck getting teh parts off an American 240. Good Luck!

Junkyard junkyard junkyard. These are non-wear parts ya see, so the junkyard is all you gotsta go to. The clip WILL NOT have the hardware you need I promise you. All of that is still sitting at the junkyard in Japan.

BTW: Great time to do a 5-lug swap...

Well, from what I know, the front clip is the front end of a car with no lights, fenders, hood, suspension parts, etc, and the only thing it does come with is frame, motor, ecu, steering wheel, tranny, dash, and such. Correct me if I'm wrong.

I have never in my life heard of non-wear parts on a car... LOL

Unless you personally know him, and he's willing to make an exception, AND he deals directly with Japan, he can't fulfill your needs. He literally has to deal with someone in Japan who will go out and find him one, and cut the front clip at his request. Japanese exporters do not generally keep front clips with paneling on them. As someone else said, its cutting the front of the car off, taking off all the paneling and parts down tot eh frame, and sending it that way. You'll have to know the guy, which if you do, good for you!

Yeah, I get what you mean on the non-wear thing........... but seriously, these aren't the kind of parts that would go bad after 100-200K on them.
