^ i'm sorry i don't know how to answer your problem.

but i do have a questoin. where did you order your kouki front end parts and body panels? and how much total did it cost you>? thanks

[BadMoJo]

you need a kouki bumper support along with the kouki impact absorber... and kouki bumper brackets.


And MasterOFtheD: Try your local Nissan dealer.

The Search button does wonders as well.

the space between the hood and the headlights should be filled by a rubber thing that clips onto the hood. go to parts.com and look for the 97 240sx hood components. it should list all the things you attach to your hood. should make it so that the hood is flush with the headlights.

i dont know about the headlight and bumper gap though. thats weird. maybe the fenders aren't lined up properly which is throwing off the lights? take some pictures and we can help better. otherwise, i have no idea cause i didn't have that problem.

just go to parts.com, go to nissan oem parts. there are many sites there that list their phone number. they all have comparable prices too...maybe a few dollars off from each other. get your hood and bumper components there.

I did the Kouki conversion and you pretty much need everything from the Kouki (97/98 240SX) looks like you need the stays and bumper bracket to go along with the bumper reinforcement. Also to get the headlights aligned perfectly...you can get the headlights brackets....but that requires some spot welding in order to install them.

BTW....if you buy parts in bulk (alot at once) http://www.nissan-auto-parts-dealer.com is a good site to buy from. So far I've bought many bits and pieces from that site.
