Well you can check out the junkyard. But you can also checkout the dealership if you have around $1500 in your pocket. Since your car is a S-14, you probably won't need to get radiator support (i think )

if you have a s14 you won't need to change the rad support, the only difference is 97-98 has a cut out behind the head light for changing bulds. If you ever need to replace the low beam and didn't have that hole, the headlight needs to come off the car. but no you don't have to replace the rad support.

Since your car is a S-13 you have to get a S-14 front end conversion kit. I forgot who makes them, besides Strawberry Face (that's a company in Japan). Basically it's cost more then 1$1500 and mostly your fenders are fiberglass not metal. But I think I not really helping you out that much .

Strawberry Face DOES make the S13-->S14 conversion
and the S14-->S14 conversion too. (metal panels! not fibreglass!!)
i dunno the price, but definitely cheaper than the Ichi-go conversion.
Masa Motorsports also makes the S14 conversion too, does it not?
