all the parts are pretty much bolt on and off.

You'll need to order a front clip obviously. You can go to http://www.afterdark-tuning.com and look under prices, the entire kit is around 1k.

Anyone know if that is just a external parts kit or is it a s13 frame with no engine parts?

I think you need the front fenders, front bumpers, and lightsgetting this is no prob, but I'm sorta new on the install and need some help.

Please stop calling it a S13, i think you are talking about the silvia conversion for the 240sx.

ya... (US 240sx fastback) Front end of a s13 silvia conversion back is Jap 180sx with a taillight and side rear window conversion. but we are talking about a s13 silvia conversion on a US 240 sx fastback IE Sileighty..... what are you complaining about??

S13 is a chassis code, you're referring to it as if it is the term used for Siliva's, you're wrong. You own a S13 so you have a S13 front, now, if you're talking about a Siliva that's something diffrent.

It prolly one of the easiest swaps for a 240 you should have no problem finding a bumper. But if i were you i would buy a 95 240 and go drifting, like me. Hehe just kidding, good luck with the conversion.
