im looking for an s15 conversion for my 89 240sx if anyone knows where i can get one for a decent price id appreciate it.

 

s15 conversion for an s13.... could you be more specific about what you want to convert? Have you tried ebay?

 

haha yeah front end, sorry i do this thing where i excpect everyone to know what i mean, ive been looking on ebay but havent seen anything.

 

run a google search. I know there are a few companies that supply the parts to do this conversion. I know Signal Auto has done a few, you might try them to see if they sell the parts. Back when I was considering that swap all those parts were pretty expensive. Especially the headlights. But that was a few years back and I'm sure it would be cheaper now. For the headlights and airdam I would try ebay. I think the fenders are the only non straight bolt in part that you need to buy custom.

 

yeah its still exspensive i found some guy on ebay that has everything but the headlights, his set includes a set of vented fenders, a set of plain fenders, oem style cf hood, and some aftermarket bumper. so i guess all i would need then is the headlights and headlight brackets right?

 

Yeah that should be it. You could fabricate some headlight brackets too. The front bumper will probably need a little work on making it bolt up in front. But it will just bolt up to the fenders which will hold it in place.

 

am i the only one who thinks the s13 looks fine the way it is?

 

i would agree i just dont like flip up headlights. they look good down.

 

No, my wife love that car. Well the hatch anyways. I like the way they look. Back when I was considering doing that conversion there were no kits available and I just wanted to do something different. This was back when the S15 had only been out for a couple years. Then one day I woke up and everyone and their uncle had an S13 so I started looking into other cars. Thats when I got the Z. Now even the S15 conversions are common. I like the factory S13/180sx look though. On the coupes though I prefer the japanese front end. It just fits the squarer body style better.

 

yeah i thought about the s13 conversion because i do have the coupe, honestly ive been torn between the stock look, s13 and s15 conversions. it sucks because i need to make up my mind because my body work is to the point where its just waiting for that and paint. every spec of rust every ding any imperfection all the bodys lines are perfect. this is a car thats been done over and over thats why its such a tuff decision. i want it to be perfect and something fresh ..... if thats possible.

 

Just do S13 Convertion. youre a coupe anyways. S15 conversions on anithing else than an S15 look stupid and Ricy. IMO

I think the S15 conversion looks good on the 180sx, but yeah, I'm not too sure about the coupe. I'd go japanese S13 on that one.

 

thanks guys keep the comments coming, i need a push in the right direction. ive always had this kind of problem with making up my mind because im afraid im gonna make a decision ill regret. so hopefully you guys can make up my mind for me.

 

Silvia S13 Front. you won't regret. S15 you'll look at your car the 1st week. "man my car looks ill!!!" *few months or weeks* "man it looks retarted wtf was I thinking"
