Ok I'm trying to find a Radiator support for my 97 240 SE and it's realy hard to find one, but i have found an S15 Radiator support. I mean that's really cool because eventually i want to do the silvia conversion but not right now. So if i buy this can i still put stock S14 headlights, fenders bumper, hood, etc on it until i make the complete conversion? Or will it not match up?

 

yes. yes. And you're not looking hard enough if you can't find an S14 radiator support. Plus you don't ABSOLUTELY need an S15 radiator support to do the S15 front end conversion; you can use the regular S14 support.

 

yeah your right...a few more days of searching and I've found someone on the board who i might buy an S14 radiator support from. So you say you dont' need an S15 support huh... Don't you get an exact precision fit witih an S15 core support? I've been hearing that the fenders don't match up precise, that worries me.

But actually the question is If i put an S15 core support on my S14 will all of my other stock parts still fit right in? like S14 headlights, fenders, bumper, hood, grille etc?

 

the man said "yes. yes."

 

If you get good fenders (not the thousands of so-called "perfect fit" copy crap for less than $300) it'll line up better, but the final product is in the hands of the body shop or installer.

IIRC The main difference between the S14/S15 core supports are the extra holes to clear the back of the S15 headlamps, but these holes can be easily cut out of your S14 core support. There's diagrams online showing what to cut.

As for S14 parts fitting on S15 core, I don't see why not - but then again doing that in the first place doesn't make much sense now, does it?

 

Double post for Raine, ban yourself!

There should be a s13-15 walkthought that can help you out even with s14. Search for it in sytle.

 

what? where?

 

LOL, I knew I should have saved that html!
