i have a s14 i am putting s15 front on, and even thought i know i do not NEED to replace the core support i would like to, because it has holes drilled in it for hood pins, and it seems to be slightly bent.
my question is, what do you suggest, s14 or s15 core support
the car is a 98 btw.
thanks!

^^ thats correct the 97-98 Kouki support has the headlight holes like the S15 one. But you can also use the zenki support and just cut the holes out. :D

Its more of a pain to do it, ill try to find pics of me doing it....

but then again I had to, I had a lady hit me... I got a core support hooked up from Nissan for 200~ new s15 from jpland....

I still had to cut into my 97 support to fit the s15 headlights..., if you're going to replace it get th s15 and be done with it.

not sure if they are the same. s14 kouki core support $$$$ > s15 core support.
thats what i heard.
i went with the s15 core support for my conversion.

Please quit digging up old posts for no reason. While you're there, work on your spelling too so we can at least understand your useless posts.
