need info on converions

when doing a front end conversion from an s13 to 14 or 15, do the body parts need to be more or less the same year as the base car, or it really doesnt matter. as long as all the new parts are the same year its a go?

and im stuck between converting to an s14 or 15

also, what headlights are these?
it says s13

180sx right

the lights, bumper, fenders and hood all have to be from the same year/same ganeration car. ie: s14/95-96 s14/97-98 s15/99

s15 and 96 do not go together

the lights that are pictures are from a jdm silvia s13

correct.

fyi: 89-94 = s13
95-96 = early s14
97-98 - s14

99 = s15

umm, i think..
s13 front is bolt on for 89-94
s14-s15 r bolt on for 95+
if it is not in that order than you'll need customization
(correct if im wrong)

S14 and S15 fenders, bumpers, lights, hoods are not interchangable

s14 and s15 are only bolt on if you have good conversion fenders, the stock s14/s15 fenders will not bolt up

Lets make this simple. If you want to convert your S13 to a S15, you need the conversion fenders, the headlights and then any hood and bumper for a S15. You can't use a S13 bumper or S14 hood.

nah i chose the s13 silvia.. not gonna do the s15

but the main parts would be the fenders and headlights.. other than that, the bumper can be any s13 bumper for my year as well as the hood..

i got it.. thanx
