New owner of a 97 240SX SE

Hey guys it's great be a part of such a great community. I just bought my first 240SX, its a 1997, Black, /5spd Special edition. anyway it's got alittle front end damage and I was wondering where i could find a stock Core support. Mines all busted up and it cannot be fixed. Only replaced.
All I can find on the internet are S15 Core Supports...would that fit or would have to buy an entire new front end. I mean the front end damage i have on my car is right above the bumper so i don't want to replace more than i have to.
I need a new hood, radiator, core support, both head light assemblies, Both blinker assemblies and grille.

orrrrrr considering what needs to be replaced, could I go ahead and do the front end sylvia conversion for just a little bit more money. Or am i missing some crucial things...enlighten me Please! I'm a newbie.

*aHeM* "Sports Edition"

junkyard for the core support? headlights and such might be easiest to get off ebay, or dealer if you want new. but that'll cost you.

First off, welcome to the forums

Best bet would be to check junkyards for the core support, try www.car-parts.com to see if you can find anything, you may also be able find someone selling one on these forums or other forums. As for the other parts, you could check the junkyard again, go to the dealer, or find someone parting out a car, or you could just go aftermarket everything

and its Silvia, not sylvia

welcome to the club.

like everyone said you can try junkyard/salvage yard, car-part.com, classifieds, or dealer. about the s15 conversion... its not easy. be prepared to spend anywhere from $2-$3000 for a good quality frond end conversion. and thats not including install and paint.
