i know this may not be the right place - but i did search. anyone point me in the right place would be great. - i can get a good front end from a 1995 240sx the back of the car is smashed to bits, but the front is fine. Can i put the body pannels on my 92 240?- thanks guys

pretty sure you're gonna need conversion fenders at the least.not too sure about this conversion.

i say pass on the zenki though...s13.5 perhaps?

yes it can and has been done. But can you weld?

edit* The longer answer is buy conversion fenders to get it done the "easy way" or you could weld s14 fenders into the s13 fenders, but its a ton of work and test fitting and refitting and rewelding and repeat and repeat.

But if you are determined do it smart and take your time to figure out what has to happen with all the parts in front of you. What is is stopping you?

Don't you mean S13.4?....or are you now looking to put an S15 front on your car?

I used to want a strawberry face but then I realized how awesome the pignose front is.

Why don't you just keep the stock front end?

Then buy a different front bumper? It's unlikely that you'll be sourcing an oem s15 front to put on your s13, you might as well make it easy on yourself and put some sort of reputable s13 kit on your s13.

This is true, I just bought an OEM S15 front end off a car my buddy imported. took months to get my hands on it.

Stay away from most conversion fenders. Orgin's are the only ones that come close.

well heres what you would need for s14 and s15 frontend swaps:

all the conversion parts like hood, fenders, lights(their brackets would help greatly), bumper, and ***core support***, <sold seperately. u must have the core support for both conversions.

now the s15, i dont know too much but its hella expensive and looks kinda ghey if you ask me, but hey we have our likes/dislikes. the s14 is lil more cheaper but same amount of work is needed.

again you have to have either an s15 core support or an s14 core support. also headlight brackets need to be custom fabbed cuz the hole on where your stock light went, wont line up. also you need to buy s15 hood latches for your hood or s14 latches for its hood.

in my case ive decided to just use the s14 half clip from the strut mount-to the core support. this is the easier way as i would save on removing the s14 core and my core on the s13. it does require a lil skill in the welding field. i have not started yet to give an idea of wat it looks like, but it sure will look sweet/unique!! btw..im using a kouki front

Why did you buy the car in the first place if you don't like the way it looks?

dude that was really uncalled for. Teddy just made a simple statement, and I agree with him. Why did you?
