I've tried to figure out what exactally I need to do the conversion but all I'm finding is info on body kit setups. so can I fit an s14 front end on my car from a 95 240sx? theres a complete one at my local wrecking yard soo if I can I want to. -thanks

Zenki (95-96) S14 conversions look ugly on S13's. The only S14 conversion that looks decent is a Kouki (97-98) front end on an S13 coupe. And it only looks decent with wide rear fenders.

okay, thats still do'able. the guy that owns the wrecking yard is a good friend and will buy whatever year car I need for the setup from salt lake salvage auction. that still leaves me lacking info.. is it a close to direct bolt on, or do I need conversion parts? I've never done this type of setup soo any info helps

such a waste of money putting any other car's front on something else. the only one i agree with is changing the pignose bumper to chuki. other than that....perhaps the s14 zenki to s15. s13 hatch, keep it chuki, dont go silvia, s14, or s15. s13 coupe looks great with silvia front, and ive seen a s14 kouki front work on it once as well. not like you will follow through with anything but thats my input.

It's not that I want to change my front end, but rather make it different from all the local pignose drivers. I'd rather simply do a headlight changeover but I can't find any dual projectors aside from the ghetto ebays. does anyone know of any dual projector headlights non popup with glass lens? I saw them in an old 200kmh shootout article in one of the tuning mags but I cant find them!

well i cant argue why you want the change the front of your pignose car. grab a chuki front bumper and some extensions and dont look back to the prototype that is sohc related.

Doubt it's as do'able as you think. I think your way underestimating how rare koukis are, let alone one that is for sale. On top of that, try finding one crashed in the back...and not completely parted out in the front. And if you cut up a good kouki, I will find you!
