Simply put Yes...and it isnt too difficult from what i have read on this board.

Honestly you can put any part on any car if you have the right amount of money.

#1...WHY would anyone screw up an S13 with an UGLY S14 front?
#2...There is no such thing as an S13.5
#3...If you want your S13 to be cool, put as S13 Silvia front on it or an S15....but leave the ***king S14 for the ugly S14.

....my $0.02 worth

No hate....just pointing out the obvious. The S14 is by far the ugliest of the S cars. The S14 kouki is a MASSIVE improvement over the zenki, but is buried by the S13 Silvia and the Sileighty. The fastbacks bury the S14 zenki as well in the looks department. S15 owns ALL.

i have to partially agree with the hatter on this one. the zenki S14 isn't my favorite in the visual department. here's my list:

1. (S13 silvia front end) sileighty
2. (S15 silvia front end) sileighty
3. S15
4. S13 silvia
5. S13 hatch (u.s. 240)/180SX
6. S14 kouki
7. S13 coupe (u.s. 240)
8. S14 zenki

all in all, i wouldn't go as far as to call any 240 ugly. i just have different preferences. even with the usdm S13's, i tend to prefer the 91-93 front bumper (although i'm liking that pig nose more and more each day ). i like all of them...

ehhh, i wouldn't say all that. everyone's entitled to their own opinion, be it positive or negative. and as for his cars:

there are a lot of things that i can't afford that i love, and a few things that i can afford, but hate. again, it's all a matter of opinion...

as for my two cents... s14 sil80 gotta go with kouki dont like zenki little to curved for my taste... or is it something about them I just cant stand... but I love the car... I'm so confused... even though I'm all for the s13... but wouldnt mnd a s15 or maybe a skyline... Oh! yeah a r33, no the 34... SR or RB... I miss my car.... OWE now my brain hurts... but kouki s14 sil80 is the way to go...


Or is it?

that's kinda the way i'm leaning. either that or the S13 silvia front. i like the S13 (front end) sileighty, but i kinda want to do something a lil different. and hell, i'm thinking that it would be a lil cheaper since the parts wouldn't have to be imported...

don't get me wrong, i think that the S15 look is definitely the hotness, but it's becoming more and more common (not to mention the cost would be prohibitive for me; i'm a cheap bastard ).
