Help with S13 Front Install . . .

[BoosterZ]

Hey Guys,

Just picked up a S13 front end. . .Fenders, Hood, Lights, Bumper, came with 2 brackets.

ANy install tips? Do i need any misc, bolts n crap? Should it just be a ez bolt on operation?

Thanks!

Sorry for the Noob question. . . Too lazy to search, just ate a fat dinner for M-day. . .

Being lazy is not an excuse.

either learn it yourself hands on or spend the money and have a bodyshop do it.
also search there are plenty of write up on installs out there, that's what internet is for.

Thanks for being a classic example of why the rest of the world hates us Americans as a people. I believe in Paris the term, "Fat lazy American" is a norm... too bad it's true more often than not.

We're trying to DISPROVE stereotypes like that.
Thanks for doing your part to de-evolve our society thru arrogance and self-serving mentalities. I think I saw your kids in that one movie... what was it called? Oh yeah, "Idiocracy".

Both the question and so-called justification are utter fodder.

Common sense SHOULD dictate that if you didn't get a "kit" that has instructions saying in no uncertain terms that "all parts and hardware are included", then YES you're going to need some stuff. Specifically what? Get a FSM and figure out what you have and what you don't... these are 2nd grade level problem solving concepts, no one needs tell you, just stop being lazy and try a little effort.

If the extent of your skills is assembling the $75 desk you got at Walmart, either pay a shop to do it right, or do what literally thousands of people before you have, and get in there and do some actual problem solving... contrary to popular belief, I've heard it's closely related to personal growth... but who am I to talk, I'm only someone who practices what I preach.

edit: ok so I just looked at your sig. All mods done yourself on a 500+ hp Z32... implying, "i'm not a noob, I know how to tune my car!"
WHY did you post this if that's true? That makes NO SENSE whatsoever. Did you buy it that way maybe? Right above you say you've got sportlines on KYB's, you didn't specify, but if they're either AGX or GR2's then that's a terrible build direction/damper combo which almost validates the noobiness of your initial post...

Something doesn't smell right... anyone else smell it?

LOL...you couldn't have said it better Mr. Yoshi.:keke:

Read the Key word "Most". . . I did most of the work on my Z32..I dont have a lift, or a shop full of tools....

Im new to the 240sx, bought a daily driver for under 1k, came with Eibach Sportlines and KYB AGX shocks...

Calm down off of your posts towards me, do you get pleasure trying to bash online? I am gonna do it myself, just asked a simple question, no need to waste your time typing a page paper on bashing me....

When I put my s13 Silvia front end on to my s13 hatch I had no clue how to do it. I used the seacrh button on here and found everything I needed.

Fenders, hood, bumper bolt on just like the usdm front end. If you have a fmic your going to have to cut the bumper support to the seam. Depending if you have projector lights or brick lights will determine what wires to use.

For the brick headlights you can use the regular headlight harness for the headlights and go to your local kragen/autozone and pick up a generic headlight harness and splice it into your headlight motor harness to make your fog lights work. That would make it where you have the option to have just the headlights on/just the fog lights on or have both on by pushing the button for the pop up lights to control the fog lights.

For the projections you have to search that on your own.

The corner lights you can do it two ways. You can lengthen the original side marker and splice it into two to make both the blinker and running light just a running light. Or you can splice the running light into the side marker, and the blinker into the front signal.

If you search Silvia headlight wiring you will find a lot of things like this:

There is a whole series of articles on Dave Coleman's 240 on that site, definately worth reading.
