installing a kouki s14 front end to a s13 coupe

hey guys!!
I've been on here for a while but rarely post. I did a search and found some s13.4's which look intense

what does a guy need to do the whole swap ?

so far I have:
kouki headlights
kouki corner lights
kouki turn signals
headlight wiring harness
s13.4 conversion fenders ( b-magic )
kouki hood
kouki front bumper

now my super big question is do I need the s14 core support ? I don't want a hackshow job like using a s15 front without the core support.

thanks guys

You don't need anything else. The S13.4 Bmagic kit should come with the brackets you need.

I have the same swap.

I haven't bought anything yet, I'm looking for a kouki 240 in a wreckers so I can take a sawsall and cut just in front of the strut towers to pretty much get most of what I need.

hoping that'll be around 6-700 bucks with the bumper ( hope the guy doesn't know what thyeyre worth ) then 5-700 for the hood, and 300 for the fenders

if I can find a nice JDM fron bumper and lip I'll run that, but if not I'll prolly run the origin stylish kit.

just for the basic swap though and getting it working I'm budgeting 1500-2000 dolla's. unless a deal comes up

thanks for the quick reply's guys! really appricate it *passes beers out*

ugh. the body lines of the 13.4 are so ugly. blah.

what are you smoking, its perfect. the sharpness of the kouki matches the coupe. not the 14.

Don't talk to people about the merits of the swap. Keep the discussion within the scope of your original question.

I did the swap out of necessity. There is no other easy way to get decent DOT-certified headlights without going the custom route.

No, I have an S13. Popup sealed beam headlights suck and Silvia lights are not US legal.

Kouki S14 lights are the next easiest ones to fit without much modding.

Low beam and high beam will have to be spliced into the body harness.

Corner light and side marker are just like Silvia swaps. You ned to source an extra S13 (or any Nissan skinny socket for that matter) side marker socket and wire that in.

Bumper lights plug in and need no mods.

So what is your point? I should break the law if I know I can get away?

I'll know. And that's enough for me.

Oh your totally right. I mean it's not like we're breaking the law by running an exhaust without a catalytic converter, or a Japanese motor, or a ridiculously low suspension? yet we get away with it.
I just was curious why you'd even address the issue of them being illegal if nobody can even tell or give a damn.

But looking at how you took the reply, I wish I would of never asked.

Are you stupid?

Way to argue yourself into ANOTHER topic of conversation by talking about mods that AREN'T related.

How do you know that any of the other stuff on his car is illegal? Oh wait, you don't. Speak for yourself, which it seems you're doing anyways.

Silvia lights are RHD- ILLEGAL.

Not to mention they suck at doing their job, (you know, putting light on the road. NOT just to look cool or JDM) Also, unless you change the projectors and get some better bulbs and harnesses to correct the pattern and output the lights are a mess and don't do ANYTHING AT ALL.

Just shut up.

if you use the s13 radiator support, you need to cut some of it to fit the headlights, aside from that, all the conversion fits, you also need s14 hood hinges, use the extra middle hole and make another one for the 2nd hole to the hood. dont buy cheap fenders, such a nightmare... i'm going b magic now
