how hard is it, if even possible, to put the S14 front end on a 1991 S13?

Ewww Heres one on a hatch:

Front is too wide to be matched to the S13 chassis IMO, unless something is also done to widen the rear. Just don't look right.

No i was just being a smart a** cause you didn't look hard enough for answers, cause they are here. I am sure it is the same as any other front end conversion, get the fenders, headlights/bumper+corner lights, hood, bumper, and radiator core from an S14 and you should be good. People usually call it an S13.4. Is your car a hatch or a coupe out of curiosity?

Oh ok i get it now. Thats cool, yeah S13's are definitely cheaper and older but for some reason i still love them!I hate to say it but if you buy an S13 and then spend the money doing a S14 front end conversion, the money you will have spent doing so could have afforded you an S14. Unless you find some real cheap S14 parts. If you like the way the S14 Zenki looks (for some reason ), those can be had for much cheaper than the kouki's, not too much more than an S13. But it would still be pricey for the kouki conversion. Don't know. Just something to think about. Welcome to Nico!
