Maybe its less for a s13 but I thought that conversion cost quite a bit more than $2000 after paint and all. Sorry I don't know what those kits costs.

sorry man, but its just not going to happen for under 2K. the other guys are right, look to spend at LEAST 3K on parts. and remember, you get what you pay for, so dont be cheap and get cheap parts because they may not fit right or might look half-assed.

If price is an object the s14 conversion would be the way to go. And like everybody else said don't go cheap!!!

i would do the s13 silvia conersion and call it a day

better yet, i would keep the flip ups and put the would be 3k+ you would be using for the conversion into a TURBO UPGRADE!

ok which would it be S15 front end of 350+whp?

i think i would choose the latter....well im doing both so im cool

Just do an S13 Silvia front. Perfect fit from used front end parts. No need to fabricate anything. Save a bundle and have an excellent looking car.

Whatever you do.....DON'T do an S14 front. Loos like shiite....costs simliar to an S15 front. The stock S14 parts don't fit any better than S15 parts. They all have to be modified to fit.

But ANYTHING is better than those dam popups and pignoses.

Hey... pop ups are very nice looking. You can do the whole sleepy eye deal with them. I personally like the pop ups.

Do what you want. If I were you I would keep the pop ups and buy a new front end. Looks good, is inexpensive and way way easier to do. Sizzzo wasn't calling you a sissie read his post he said that doing a big conversion is not for sissies, its a lot of work and you need to know whats involved. And lastly there a lot more better ways to spend all that money like a mean turbo setup. Do you really want to throw down all that money and still not be that original and still be slow? Its up to you but keep that in mind.
