post pics,

assuming you have silvia fenders it shouldn't - there is no reason for that, something is in the way

make sure you have the bumper supports so that it doesn't sag, but other wise it should bolt up quite easily.

Do you have JDM S13 bumper support brackets? USDM support bracket that came with your 240sx will not work with your S13 front end. You can mod-it to work. Think you have to drill holes towards the front of support bracket and elongate the rear holes.

Sounds like this is the problem your having, since stock S13 bumper with OEM stock S13 support bracket is a bolt on onto USDM 240sx. Bumper and fenders should line up with out any effort.

Oh yes pics would be great to show what your having problems with, and to tell you exactly what to do.
