s15 front end conversion.

[ace mcfly]

i'm positive that i want to do an S15 front end conversion on my S13 and turn it into a mean S13/15 SilEighty. but i have no idea where i could get this done nor do i have any info on it. i've seen it done to the rps13's a definite from me!
any help?

some companies sell cheap fiberglass kits that include the hood, fenders, front bumper and the headlights. I personally wouldn't buy these kits because they are cheaply made. some companies that import jdm parts can get the metal fenders that are a direct bolt on just like the s13 fenders. the fenders are ussually the biggest problem besides the hood mounts which can also be imported from japan for $120 for the set. there is also the radiator supports for the headlights which ussually have to be custom made.

its alot harder of a conversion than the s13 conversion if these parts are not obtained but it is worth the$2200 - $2800 usd of parts.

jspec sells all the parts needed except they don't ship to canada so if you find someone to to get them shipped to than have them ship the parts to you. well hope you get this conversion once you pick up your car.

Autozeal sells the front end conversion, come by for details

[ace mcfly]

spoon, i'm quite sure you're talking about the fiberglass kits. i want what lorenzo was talking about.
anybody know where i can get everything i need and who will install it properly in calgary?

[Speed_Dreams]

just take the kit to a body shop that you trust to get it installed

ones that i could recomend would be. National Collision , Maranello , SOS , and International Exotic Cars. thats where Darknight (RIP) had his car

Why not be original and do a real S13 conversion. As far as i know no one has done it here yet. I could be wrong but i have yet to see one.

I got it all playa, OEM/JDM anything.. I can get the metal one but its not bolt on. its the s15 one you have to chop it and weld it with your factory one.

I can get the s13 front ends too. No Projector, Dual or triple projectors.

hahah whatever, its the truth. i like the s13 too but if i was making the choice i would go for the s15....i think that front end looked the best with the mcs14 coming in a close second. my fave s13 conversion has to be that dude that owns pac-rim's car. too bad its auto.

wait wut type of end does ur 240sx have? S13 rears are on 89-92 i believe the non fast backs. unless urs is a fast back with the 180sx end i rather go for a pure kouki 180sx look...dont mix, just keep it real and original

[ace mcfly]

it's a fastback, but i really like the look of the sileighty. i've only seen two s15 sileighties and they much better than s13 ones. have you seen the signal sileighty's? there are two identical ones and i think they are bad ass...

[ace mcfly]

so what S15 kit can i get that's bolt on?
and where can i see "pac-rim's" car?
there's an s13 with a skyline rear end conversion, and i think it looks like poo.

so this is what i want the body to look similar to...
i'll be in touch spoon...

step 1) get the 240sx first.

k
i just thought i might plan a head a little and see what i'm getting into. i guess that was the wrong thing to do when getting ready to drop quite a bit of money? the better way is to go into it knowing nothing at all? ok thanks...
sorry for wasting your time guys.

[dj_honda]

[ace mcfly]

i can't tell if that's a hatch or a coupe, but that does look pretty good. but still s15 looks better...i'll have a better idea of what i'd like to do when i get some quotes...
geez those headlights aren't bad either...
EDIT: sorry about the big pic up there, i didn't know it was taht big.

here is a nice s15 sileighty thats in BC









personally I am going to go with the s13 conversion when my wallet is a bit bigger but they both are really nice.

s13 is cheaper than s15...well prices here in the states...

i rather go for the kouki 180sx look though....
