96 240 convertion question
Im looking at buying a '96 240sx. I was wondering how easy or hard a convertion to a silvia front end.
I know the 95 - 98 model front ends are similar but the silivia looks a bit sleeker with the headlights.

from what i have seen the 95-96 s14 front ends are the same as jdm as are the 97-98. there is a difference between 95-96 (zenki) and 97-98 (kouki) though. maybe that is what you are looking at? as for a conversion from what I hear it is pretty easy, just change you lights, front bumber, fenders, and hood and you should be good. Ohter wise do a search there is a lot of information in these forums.

yea...."sleek" headlights are not "JDM silvia" and the rounder lites are not "USDM 240sx"...they are just a "facelift" a new body style on both the 240 and silvia starting in 97...the actual really noticable difference between the S14 silvias and S14 240s are the bumpers...
