Hey guys, im doing a s13 conversion on my vert. got all the part, just have to buy a carbon hood. But I had a question on the front bumper. Do you have to have the Silvia bumper support or will the stock bumper support work? Anyone looking for perfect stock front parts let me know!!! 1994 Vert. Red.
Im from little rock arkansas.

Hi Mike!
You'll need the Silvia bumper support. We've had a few members do this swap, including our 240sx convertible moderators, Eikon and Hijacker... and -RJ-.
Post some pics, and welcome aboard!

Re: s13 Silvia conversion on vert
it's better to have the silvia bumper support, but you can trim your usdm bumper support so that it fits. Of course, after you trim the usdm one, it may not be very crash worthy.

Re: s13 Silvia conversion on vert
Welcome to the SilVert club. There are a handful of us that have done this conversion. Yes having the JDM supports and bumper makes this a bolt up job and takes a few hours (minus the time to fight with the bolt WaAAYYy up in the fender and the one that is a PITA by the door. Another plus would be to get the headlight brackets while you're in Japan (those are a bit harder to come by here in the states). I got my Silvia parts about 5 years ago from ..hmm.. found it..

You might have to call them about the bumper supports. They were great to deal with when I got my stuff years ago. I guess that's what I get for only lurking for the past few years. I guess the Official Picture Police (Dexter) was forgotten. Good Luck with your searchin.

Re: s13 Silvia conversion on vert
I picked up a silvia fronted sr20 vert 2 days ago so im in the club too, Wooopy. its awesome that there is a forum just for verts, ive been on zilvia for a while and never realized this was here. Get the silvia bumper support, its worth it to do things right, saves you time and headaches in the end.
