A s13silvia conversion on a vert is no different from a conversion on a coupe or hatchback.

wait, you need the bumper support in order to use the stock bumper?

cool just wondering cause i order my front end and they asked if i wanted the bumper support and i said no...cool beans...go NJ!!!! haha

[Mathetai]

Yup I have all that already. Someone said that I needed the radiator support too..? It looks like I may be complete and ready to start. Thanks.

[Nachtmensch]

no need for the radiator or bumper support.

this is a simple conversion. i know it has been covered a million times before

the bumper support helps keep your oem bumper from sagging though! Usually it'll sag in the middle above where the license plate goes.

damn i was afraid of that...can a usdm bumper support be used? or do you have to have the jdm one?

[nissanguy13]

no you cant use the usdm because the jdm one actually bolts to the bumper. No you don't need the JDM radiator support, but you can't put the headlights on without the JDM brackets. If I were you I would use the support in case you hit something. Without it you will cause more damage in a front end collision, I.E. radiator, engine etc. There is a ton of write ups on here about doing a Silvia conversion, I know because I've answered on a lot of them.

The only conversion that you need the radiator support from is if you do a s15 conversion on your s13.

I have a vert and my s13 conversion fit on just fine.. it was a straigt bolt on.

are you using the oem bumper?...and does it sag since you don't have the bumper support?

[thejapino]

Going with the bumper support will give you OEM fitment (unless your frame is bent) without it, sagness.
