S13.4 front end....how to??

[TurboGoKart]

PLEASE excuse my extreme Nissan exterior n00bness. :(

After being totally confused by all the Kouki, Chuki, Artichokie stuff lol, I finally realized what I wanted on my S13 was the S13.4 conversion. How do I go about this? What do I need? If someone could point me in the right direction that would be MUCH appreciated! Don't flame me too much...


Here's a couple pictures of my car currently:

Don't.

I just sold my conversion. Hatches look like doo doo with s14 fronts. Will also take awhile to get everything to fit somewhat decently.

You need Conversion fenders (with headlight brackets), S14 hood, S14 bumper, S14 Headlights, S14 Signals, S14 Hood Hinges, headlights wired up for s14 bulbs.

S14 radiator support is an option. If you don't however you'll have to do a little cutting for the headlights to sit in properly.

My gallery has a more specific parts list.

you bought your car like that op

Stupid question, but there's probably no way to get that profile of headlights/hood without doing the whole thing, is there?


I don't like the look of the Sileighty conversions, where the headlights/grill is all the same height all the way across. I really like the profile of that pic you posted. But I won't do it either if it is going to look like crap.

Do the ends of the fenders closest to the doors stick out a bunch? I saw that in some pics too and that looks gross.

Dont listen to Eric...its your car...put whatever you want on it. S13.4 hatches are sick when done correctly! ive seen two done... a kouki s13.4 and a zenki and they were both tits! You WILL need: bodykit, rims and lots of low

[TurboGoKart]

Nope, I bought the car as a stock roller. I did the swap and pretty much everything seen in the pictures myself lol. Made all the mounts, headers, exhaust stuff, did the wiring, only thing I didn't do myself was make the driveshaft lol.

Yes, they look like this....

a good inch. I never agreed with it. Raceonusa makes a flat one but from what I hear the fitment is fubar.

[pandapruitt]

just buy my s15 conversion =)

[TurboGoKart]

I'm still confused as hell as to the differences b/w kouki/zenki/chuki. Lol. My car can shit, but also looks like shit lol.

Dang. I really like the profile of those headlights, but now I see the reason every S13.4 has a body kit lol.

I agree. This is my car before paint with the wing off and some rollers a few years ago.

they have a bad profile without a wing IMO.

[TurboGoKart]

OK, so S13.4 is no longer an option lol. Anything else? I don't want the Sileighty, so does that just leave me to getting replacement front bumper covers? Lol. I was just trying to ditch the flip ups haha.

I ditched my s14 front to go back to flip ups.

You can make it look good like this guy's kouki

[StryfeS13]

I'd just stay with the stock body, or go kouki like above...

but I guess you can go S13.5??

^^Is that your car? If so, I know you from silviav8forums! I have the same username on there. Anyways, the owner of that car is OutToWinPAHC on there.

[PeaceOnesxWai]

AIT racing sells S13.4 conversion fenders.. They are like $180. You can buy them from AeroDesigns, they are a vendor on here

[kalypso123]

hatches are not allowed to do conversions...

only coupes.

Haha no, not my car.

If all you are trying to do is ditch the pop ups you could do East Bear 180sx headlights:

Circuit Sports makes their own Circuit Sports 180SX Headlight Kit (http://www.phase2motortrend.com/ni18hekit.html)

Jspec has fake East Bear for cheaper TC 180sx fixlight kit (http://jspec.com/tc18fixkit.html)

That would save you around 1300 bucks. IMHO though you are going to regret bailing on the pop ups.

I would have to agree. If I can't do a clean s13.4/5 swap then my next best choice would be sleepy eyes. :rawk: Lol.

[FaLKoN240]

Almost all the cars posted in here (except the first clean S13.4) suck and are ugly.

If you Google Zenki S13, Chuki S13, and Kouki S13 images you'll see what the cars look like and figure it out.

[tschmidt55]

whats the difference between s14 fenders and s14 conversion fenders for a s13..?

[waxball88]

Are you serious? I hope you made that account to troll, otherwise may God be with you.

[tschmidt55]

sorry lol i guess that was dumb of me.

[iamthewinner]

For a hatch Kouki Pop up > all
Other conversions just scream bitch look at me

[blusx]

Im looking for the s13.4 fenders as well for a coupe? does anyone have more options other than ait or duraflex cus there so brittle
