I may be getting a 1990 240sx in a week and if I do go with it I would want to convert it to a Silvia.  I know where to get the Sr20det and the body kit, but where do you get the lights.  and if anyone has done the conversion could you post your steps and everything you did to complete this conversion, any suggestions or tips would be most appreciated and I will consider an idea that has worked.
Thank You.

P.S.
also a cost estimate if it's not too much.

IS there even a S14 or S15 conversion kit with lights for a 1990 240zx, I've only seen s13 kits out there.

say again?

are you asking: can you do a conversion on a 89-90 240sx? (either S14 or S15?)

if so.. i think the answer is no.
realistically it is yes if you have the money.. but i recall the 89-90 chassis being bigger than the later gen chassis of the fastback. (someone confirm this with me?) and the 92-97 chassis stayed the same throughout (again, plz correct me if i'm wrong)
so since the 89-90 chassis/body/whatever is bigger/larger... it won't fit properly.

and as for lights... most conversion kits come with lights do they not? all the s15 conversion kits i've seen come with lights.

thich-sorry but you are WAY off
-89 to 90 had same chassis as 91-94 but had an SOHC engine instead of the 91-94's DOHC
-95 and up were all the same and had DOHC engine
-they make an S13 and an S15 conversion kit for 89-94's.  But not an S14 kit.
-95 and up can be converted to S15.
And about the lights...Wholesale Hyperformance has em, Importfan.com has em(as well as the whole kit)
Sorry to be harsh thich, but i hope this helped the guy who posted it.

I`m not WAY off...
i was wrong about the chassis being bigger (that`s why i asked for a confirm)--although i swear the 89-90 body style looks wider than the later gens.
and i never said anything about the engines.

as well, there IS an s14 kit.
don`t go blowing that off until you`ve done your research.
Strawberry Face (the same guys who made the first S15 conversion) makes an FRP S14 kit for the S13.

the chassis's are the same, but the body panels themselves are a little different.  Thats why if you put a 91-94 bumper on a 89-90 the bumper and the fender and bumper will not line up exactly.  The 89-90 Fenders and bumper ARE a touch wider.  The Chassis's are not.  For this reason you CAN put the S15 kit on any S13 89-94
