Sil-80

[240sxHitman]

I have 240 hatch and Ive been thinkin bout doin and sil-80 conversion. Preferably the S15 but since thats pretty expensive i was thinkin of the S13 front. But I was thinking has anyone ever seen our heard of an S14 front on a hatch. Im not to sure with one is the one with the slanted eyes but that one is the one im talkin bout. That would definitely be a unqiue sil-80

[downshift]

damn sure would be different but i dont think i ever seen one or think that i would like the way it looks. but hey thats all you on that one. i still think that the s13 front looks pretty damn good.

[240sxHitman]

yea, i really want the S15 front but thats alot of money so i jus might go with the S13. and as for the S14 front it was jus a thought i probably wouldnt do it. and i was also thinkin of the R33 front and back on my hatch to go one step further then the Rb motor

Your front looks to be in great condition. I would personally keep it the way it is and use that money towards the money swap that you want.

I was wondering a simliar front end conversion myself.I have a s13 coupe and hate the pop up lights.The JDM s13 is like 900$ the s15 is over 2000$so..would USDM s14 fenders,lights,bumper,and hood fit on a s13?I'm sure that would be alot cheaper than getting a JDM front, and get rid of those damn pop up lights.

An S14 front on a S13 would be ugly. I saw one the other day on a coupe i think and it was fugly in my opinion.

[240SXedUp]

Save your money and put it towards a turbo upgrade. That money will get you halfway there if not more

Yeah, nice car GEO (vengance, whatever).

click on my sig link below. Although there are no headlights on it, the S13 silvia front on the 180/240 hatch looks very sexy. All the body contours match up and it wont look out of place like a S15 or S14 front would be. I have driven it around a few times without the haedlights on it, and let me tell you. Women love the car. Also i've gotten a few remarks from local dude car finatics about how good the car looks (even though mine is 3 tone, :pface).

Bottom line, dont do something unnatural to your beautiful S13. Keep it in the family.

[240SXedUp]

You might as well just buy an S14 if you're going to change it that much.

[downshift]

same thing i was thinkin. But.....it doesnt look as bad as i thought it was gonna. Pretty nice job.

[Dattebayo]

who, me? It was easy.

[downshift]

actually i was talkin bout the s14/13 thingy 2bn_s13. But since you said it was easy does that mean you put the fenders, hood, front bumper etc on yourself?! If so then....thats hella kool.

[Dattebayo]

Yeah, it bolts up to the same holes the 240 front does!!!You will only have 2 bolts left over from the fenders. Its actually alot easier to put on than a 240/180 front. Seriously. There are these corner nuts on the 240/180 that are a ***** to take out. But I had the Japanese bumper support sent with the kit, so it was easy just like plug and play.

If any of you ever get a Silvia front end, you need to ask for the Japanese bumper support to be sent with the kit. It makes it 10 times easier to install the bumper. No joke.

[MikeYeeS13]

Where can s13 fronts be found reasonably on east coast?

[PalmerWMD]

Didnt one of our sponsors have like a $950 special (intsalled) S13 Siliva conversion some time back?

Fred..

[DarkStar]

I've seen it, it looks pretty nice....but s13 looks a lot better (in my opinion anyway)

[Dattebayo]

Im all for the sponsers, Fred.But installing it yourself is not a big deal, so far. It took me 1 hour to put on the hood, fenders and bumper. We'll see about the lights. But then again, i AM a tradesman.
