OK so the previous owner of my s13 pretty much ****ed the front end. i was able to bash the hood hinges down and bend the hood to get it to sit a little nicer, but it won't latch and the headlights are pretty much scrap, so i need the whole new radiator support. and while i'm at it might as well do a conversion.

but i do not know if the JDM conversion will come with a new rad support and if it will fix my problems. so i'm looking for a how to to see what it replaces... thanks

 

i heard the only difference between the 180 front end and the silvia frontend is the headlight bracket along with the lights, grill, hood and fenders. If i had a 240sx s13 coupe and got in a front end collision, I'd def use it as a nice excuse to go s13.

 

exactly - the radiator support and everything under is the same. the only difference is that you'd need those extra brackets to convert to a Silvia face (the rest is replace i.e. replace fenders, hood, etc. all the stuff d4 listed)

 

well there was no s13 silvia was there? i wouldn't want to convert to silvia front and have s13 rear. it would look stupid. i like to keep all the generations together. s13 only stuff for an s13

 

S13 coupe = 240sx (U.S.); Silvia (Japan)
S13 fastback = 240sx (U.S.); 180sx / Sileighty (Japan)
S14 = 240sx (U.S.); Silvia (Japan)

All coupes are named Silvia in Japan.

 

oh ok, thanks for the info. i haven't kept up much on nissan. been a honda guy for the past few years (ford before that but now that i have worked on fords they can kiss my ***)... yeah mines fastback.. so the sileighty conversion then. come to think of it.. i remembering the sileighty was a mix of the 180sx and the silvia. is that correct

 

dont forget the onevia= 180 front and silvia back or just the standard coupe in the states.

yes the sileighty is a s13 silvia front with 180 rear.

 

aight sweet.

so for a complete conversion i need the front, sideskirts, rear bumper or is that just a lip, the tail lights, the paneling between the lights, and the spoiler?

I'm parting out my wrecked integra and awaitng funding from the parts before i cna order all this.

 

As far as I know the Onevia was never an "official" Nissan model, it was just a name coined by Japanese enthusiasts when they decided to copy the USDM version Nissan sent overseas.

correct it wasnt ever produced.

 

yeha i was loking on that site... i don't see a difference between the q's and the k's bumper.

i wanna do mine up like this white one.. it's a 94 so it's still an s13

 

after the front end, you'd also need oem type X side skirts, type X rear valences, type X rear spoiler, 180sx taillight set, and the JDM wheels if you want exact...

 

To top it off, you need the SilEighty rear garnish. Good luck finding one

 

Wow so tru LOL I forgot about that part

 

BTW, the Type X wheels are the same as the G20 wheels(late 90 G20).
