yes, you can do it, it's called "strawberry face", because the words for "strawberry" and "fifteen" are very similar in japanese.  There was a 180sx with it done in superstreet a few months ago.  I also know that there are places that sell the kits, but it comes with quite a hefty price tag.  Just search around in yahoo or something to find it.  I think Importfan.com might have it.

I will be doing one in about 2 months.  My friend in Japan just got the MASA fenders for the S13 to S15 conversion.  I got him a Carbon fiber hood and a drift bumper.

 I am going to try to make copy's of the fenders if I can.  But I need to find a place that will make real good kits.  I am not going to sell any kits that come out like crap and don't fit and stuff.

So if anyone is interested let me know later this month,  that is when I am suppose to get them in the mail. Or I cna get you a set from Japan.  They run about $600 for the fenders.

Nopers, they dont bolt right on, you have to make modifications if you buy the stock fenders, bumper,blah, blah, blah. That's why theres companys making conversion kits and why they re so damn expensive.

Look in the FAQ/Archives on this board, the first few line of the S15 Front End (http://www.zilvia.net/f/cgi-bin/ikonboard.cgi?act=ST;f=6;t=8874) Thread answer your question.

If you still want to go with a S15 front conversion you can find one for the S13 at www.Importfan.com , although it costs $2999.99!!!!!! So expensive. I plan on doing a s15 front end conversion on my 91 fasat back also, but I am looking around for a better deal. Maybe getting the setup in pieces will be a little cheaper.
