is this possible? i have been told that the s13>s14 conversion is a bolt on job, so if that was true, i imagine this would be as well? any info guys? i tried search, it seems noone wants to take a newer car and make it old, heh.

what are are you trying to say. Your statement is not clear. If you are trying to swap motor. No problem. If you are going to make your S14 look exactly like an S13, then go buy an S13. It's not that expensive.

Which front end are you talking about? The actual S13 Silvia front end or the 180 front? I'm not sure how the silvia front end would look but im pretty sure the 180 front would look like ***.

hes talking about puting s14 frontend on an s13. You have to change the headlight core support. Minor welding is involved. You can get the supprt from http://www.importfan.com They also sell s14 headlamps and corner lamps. It looks pretty sweet. Do you have a cupe or hatch? I like the look on both, but prefer the hatch myself. If you are that interested, you might as well do the s15 conversion. Its actualy easier to find the s15 conversion fenders then the s14 ones for s13.

no, he's talking about putting s13 SILVIA headlights on an s14 coupe, not the other way around, ive never heard of this being done, so i dont know if its a bolt on or not, but with money, anything is possible

yes that is correct, s13 silvia frontend on an s14. I was checking if this is possible because a deer ran out in front of me the other day and damaged my hood and fender, i am just checking out all my options. I love the silvia frontends but i couldnt deal with the interior on the s13s, heh. any information on if it is bolton or not?

No, i definatlly aint a bolt on. S14 front end is several inchs wider then s13. Unless you are really good at cuting a bumper and grafting a few inchs to it. Headlight supports are all wrong. Fender wouldnt line up. That would be the biggest waste of time and money.

Sorry, dude. Didn't mean to sound like that. You had said that you wanted to take a newer car and make it old. So I figured...

1 post on this board? Yes.Old timer? Yes.

Chill out man... You could do it if you want. No one is tripp'n. With a little welding, you could make any conversion you want, if its just body work. I'd say do it. Haven't seen it around.

someone sould do a photo shop of that, it would be interesting, but the only problems is that the bodylines may not match and would look akward, but it may look cool especially painted two-tone, u know like the s-13s.

thats what i was thinking, i love the s13s ,as well as the s14s, but the s14 bodystyle is much more curved than the predecessor, so i dunno how that would look

I think it actually flows better on the s14 than it does on the s13 coupe. I'll try to dig up the s14 with s15 rear and s13 front pic. I guess someone in japan wanted all three. 13/14/15 in sequence

looks better than i thought....but the silvia front end would be too angled for the S14 design...
