matic 240sx 04-18-2002 09:24 AM

Im making the post because I am sick of people asking this once a week.

This is all you need to know about doing a S15 front end conversion.  s15 conversion pictures

Ok if you have a S13 your going to need the following:
Jdm S15 Silvia headlights
Jdm S15 Silvia radiator core support
fiberglass fenders
fiberglass hood
front bumper (any S15 bumper)

www.importfan.com sells the whole kit for 2999.00
www.midnightmotorsports.net sells the same kit for 2899.00
e-mail me about it if you want it.  These are not something either one of us keep in stock.  It could take all the way up to 4 months to produce the whole kit.

If you have a S14 240sx you need the following:
Jdm S15 Silvia headlights
fiberglass fenders/or Jdm S15 Silvia fenders
fiberglass hood/or Jdm S15 Silvia hood
front bumper (any S15 bumper)

Yes you can use the real S15 fenders for this conversion on a s14, BUT there is a big gap at the top of the fender and the bottom does not fit either without modification.  Soon our web site will have all the info on making the metal fenders fit.

Vis Racing sells a kit including S15 headlights, Fiberglass fenders, fiberglass hood, Drift front bumper... all for 3500.00 retail.

We sell the same kit for 2900.00

E-mail me if you have any interest in buying the kit.

Thanks for the info.  Couple questions.  #1) Is the drift bumper fiberglass.  #2) Can you get the kit with the stock bumper?  I would really rather have a urethane bumper.  Thanks

Yes you can use a stock s15 front bumper but its going cost around another 250 and yes the drift bumper is fiberglass.

sil80 04-18-2002 11:40 AM

If you get the kit as a whole is it a direct bolt on? Is there any mod people will need to make to there car? What about wiring for the lights? Do the fenders meet up with door panals(flush)? Can you get a S15 CF hood?

Yes the S13 kit is a direct bolt on. &nbsp;The lights will need to be tapped in, I am sure most of you can figure that one out. &nbsp;Just like any body kit. &nbsp;It my take a little push and shove to put on. &nbsp;I can provide a carbon fiber hood for the S14 to S15 conversion for 200.00 more.

The FIBERGLASS fenders are flush. &nbsp;The metal (JDM S15 Fenders) will have to be custom fitted by a body shop.

sykikchimp 04-18-2002 12:48 PM

Does anybody make CF hoods for the S15 kit on the S13?

matic 240sx 04-18-2002 12:57 PM

To what i know, no... they don't. &nbsp;I could have one made.

sykikchimp 04-18-2002 12:59 PM

that would be crazy expensive to have a CF hood custom made wouldn't it? &nbsp;I'm just curious b/c I'm thinkin about doin this in the next 6-8 months.

matic 240sx 04-18-2002 01:26 PM

Yes, i believe last time i checked my supplier for a custom CF hood it was 700.00. &nbsp;Whenever your ready though let me know and ill call around and make sure no one is making it. &nbsp; <img src="#/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'>

ledzep 04-18-2002 01:55 PM

What other front bumpers would be available for the conversion? (S14) I dont care for the drift. Looking for something more subtle, maybe a bit more so than stock S15. Are there any aftermarket urethane bumpers? ALSO, can you get jdm tailights for S14's? &nbsp;What do they look like?

Thanks

-Daniel




SimpleS14 04-18-2002 09:23 PM

There isn't a big difference between JDM and USDM taillights, they are pretty much the same. &nbsp;Except the USDM tail have a side marker light.

Here are my questions Matt:
Is there any company that make metal fenders for a S-15 kit?

What material does Masa and Strawberry Face use for their conversion kits?? are you able to get a hold of one?? if so how much??

yeah, they do at a couple different places but i know importfan sells their s15 conversion kit with a carbon fiber hood with the hood scoop. &nbsp;here's a pic of the one they sell with their conversion kit:S15 Carbon Hood

MasterOFDrift 05-12-2002 05:28 PM

Matic I was wondering if The S15 kit fits on a 89. How long it would take for you to get one. Thanks. Planning on doing a conversion.

silvia for me 05-12-2002 06:00 PM

for a 1990 240sx fastback, would i get the s13 conversion kit?

Phoen_X 05-14-2002 01:04 AM

OK what if I didn't want the drift front end, would you subtract the cost then? If not could you order me another front end and just add the difference to the final price?

cuz I would really like to have this front end

S14.5 05-14-2002 05:33 PM

correct me if im wrong but a S15 conversion on a S14 doesnt require the radiator support and that only the s13 will need the radiator support? is theres a certain reason or does both really needs it? thanks &nbsp;<img src="#/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'> &nbsp;i really wana get my conversion soon but yet i still need to gather more useful information like this to get it. thanks again!

S14.5 05-14-2002 05:37 PM

as far as i know, after you get the fenders and hood and lights on the car, any real aftermarket s15 bumper will work for the car. my idea is to get the parts and get my bumper from some where else to make it look like a real s15 front because the drift bumper is way to common for a conversion. well thats my thoughts so yeah &nbsp;<img src="#/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'>

Finally after 6 months a straight complete answer. I love this forum

240Altima 06-09-2002 08:03 AM

What front bumper comes with the S13 conversion?

SimpleS14 06-09-2002 04:34 PM

Is it possible to get this stock bumper? &nbsp;

I like it alot, esspecially since its not fiberglass.

S14.5 06-09-2002 06:00 PM

yes thats one of the bumper i want the most! after all the research i've done , i found out that you can only get this in japan. the cost is $800 + $400 shipping. i heard its part of the nismo option. After i found out the price i have no comment <img src="#/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/nervous.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':nervous:'> . So i guess i'm just going to stick with any bumper as long as i have a s15 front <img src="#/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/cool.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':cool:'>

ps: nobody knows what that bumper is called <img src="#/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'>

how does the price sound to you? &nbsp;<img src="#/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sly.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':sly:'>




SimpleS14 06-10-2002 02:47 PM

Actually I found a place that can offer that bumper.

J-Spec

They can offer the bumper for $700 + shipping. &nbsp;But the bumper is used, and taken from the junkyard in Japan. &nbsp;Its still a good deal IMO. &nbsp;<img src="#/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sly.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':sly:'>

I guess you can call it the "S-15 SpecR Aero S" bumper. &nbsp;<img src="#/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/satisfied.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':satisfied:'>

S14.5 06-10-2002 07:11 PM

dang.. are you serious you found it off jspec? is it listed or did you have to show them a picture of it and emailed them? &nbsp;<img src="#/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'>

X-Iceman 06-12-2002 08:13 PM

hey matrix, do you have any pictures of s13's having the conversion done to it? i would luv to see these &nbsp;<img src="#/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/inlove.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':love:'>

kilabeez0 06-26-2002 09:52 PM

ok 2 things:

1. &nbsp;honestly which looks better, S13 or S14 with S15 front end? &nbsp;It seems like the S13's front bends down a bit and doesn't look very natural. &nbsp;BUT S13's are cheaper to purchase to do the conversion which is what i will be doing

2. &nbsp;In GT Spec R's sig, what year is that white rear end from?

ok maybe 3 things <img src="#/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/blush.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':blush:'> &nbsp;is that purple s15 conversion on import fan the s13 or s14?

Personal preference, no one can tell you which looks better because that is a personal taste. &nbsp;I myself think that the conversion looks better on an S14.

That is an S15 rear end, it is on 99 and up Silvia's only.

It is an S14.

I think the conversion looks better on the S-14. &nbsp;I think its more of a hassle to do the conversion on a S-13, but I could be wrong.

Here you guys go, it still needs to be painted, but looks damn pretty.

It looks nice, but even better on a S-14.
