Hey, i would really like to know if someone can do me a huge favor

measure the width / length of the Q45 and S13 hoodMeasure the width of the rear of the fender to the wheel, and then wheel to bumper.

im considering putting a S13 front end on the Q45.. still doing some photoshops, and i think it will look interesting.

im just unsure the measurements of everything, i only own the Y33...

The Y33 is so much wider there is no way, but someone can measure, but width is your big problem.

i wasnt sure if it was actually wider, or if it was just the body panels "appearing" wider, thats why i wanted to get some measurements.

The 97 Q has a great front end, why would you want to put a silvia front end on it?

The Y33s frame rails up front are about 810mm apart. measured at roughly the same place, the S13 is about 740mm, or a difference of about 3 inches at the FRAME RAIL

The strut towers, measured at the bolt hole most inward are about 20in further apart.

Im not sure how much different that makes the actual body panels, but the hood is going to be way too short and wide, and the fenders are going to be way too short and not long enough.

Really, it's worse than that, more like putting a Celica front end on an LS.

Do it!!! lol

Why be different just for the sake of being different?

I mean really, were you seriously trying to put a 240sx front end on a Q45?
