where can i find a how to: S13 JDM conversion?
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.

S13 fastback = 240sx (U.S.); 180sx / Sileighty (Japan)
S14 = 240sx (U.S.); Silvia (Japan)
All coupes are named Silvia in Japan.
