Hey, i just want to verify an issue on when doin silvia front end conversions on s13s.
So i did a silvia front end conversion on my 93 s13 coupe a year ago. And i do some modification on the bumper support and all to get everything to fit, but here is what im gonna be doin now.
I just picked up a 91 fastback that has a sohc front on it (but it did not come with a front bumper support).
Now what i want to do is transfer my silvia front end from my coupe onto my fastback.
Im pretty sure the transfer should be fine on the silvia front part and that includes the front bumper support i have on my coupe currently should fit fine onto my fastback am i right?
now the question here is, do i have to get a specific front bumper support model or what not to get the sohc flip up front onto my coupe? Both cars are SR20det'd so i would have to get a front bumper support that has the middle cut off to fit the FMIC, but is there a specific front bumper support i have to get?
Like say if it is a usdm one, do i need to get an SOHC usdm front bumper support or will a dohc front bumper support work fine. i dont want to buy the wrong one and have to go out of my way and alter it or something cause it never fit.
cause i was gonna try pick up the specific one for doin the sohc front conversion onto my coupe and i have a few choices, of either the usdm one (if i need the specific sohc or dohc ill specifically ask for that model) or would goin with a jdm front bumper support to put the sohc front back on be best? so should i try get the jdm front bumper support or a usdm front bumper support? On the jdm one that one seller is selling, he does not know if it was off a 180sx or a silvia (so does this matter on installing for the sohc flip up bumper? or does it not? cause i figure it should matter since they are different being 180sx is like the usdm 240sx front flip up light look and silvia being ... ya silvia look ...? so if i am to get the jdm one, it better be 180sx or it wont fit the sohc front?)
k if anyone has more information or any corrections that need to be address go for it.
Many thanks.
