They should be identical to the 240SX. Nothing special as far as I know.

Radiator support is unchanged. All you need to do is unbolt the stock headlight brackets, and bolt the Silvia brackets in their place. If I remember correctly, it's only 3 bolts per bracket. You may also need to change out the bumper support, depending on what bumper you are using. When I went from my stock Chuki front end to a Silvia Aero Bumper, I needed the Silvia bumper support with it.
I am certain the complete swap is explained in detail in various places on the internet. Good luck.

2 at the top of each bracket - one on the bottom (each side of course)
back when i had that front, we put it on and had everything lined up nicely in a hour or 2.

You won't need to get a Silvia bumper support if you find that the bumper does not want to fit over your USDM support. Just remove it and drill two holes a inch and a half behind the stock holes and mount it back on. That will give you the clearance that you need to properly fit the Silvia bumper on and, trust me, it will be nice and snug so no saggy in the middle.
