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

herbieS13

radiator support i believe and you should be golden

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

I have the same swap.

coww-cho!!!!!

i love Forrest wangs s13.4!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

im considering doing this conversion as well to the op whats the total cost of your set up so far?

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.

just like the sil-80. at least a hatch woulda been mildly decent for a s15 front end

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.

Big Zee

Zenki life: I thin you misread the original post mate, I have a coupe, not a hatch. and certian strawberry faced coupes hold the look quite well

g6civcx: out of nessicity ? The Dustin is confused, did you import a s14 ?
and do you have a pic of your swap ?

g6civcx

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.

dubtastic

Anywhere you can order the glass style headlights for the s14 front end? i think they were euro only but very sexy

really? even if. who's going to know and bust you for it

when I got pulled over in my old s13 (it was flat black and debadged) the female officer had no idea what kind of car it was.

g6civcx

Yes, really.

Most likely no one.

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.

dubtastic

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.

Big Zee

Ahhhh ok, I understand now. thanks good sir!

i have the s13 coupe as well, what modifications need to be done on the wire harness for the lights?

g6civcx

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.

skyview

okay thanks

fcken_engus

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

pigeon

does anyone make a front bumper thats bell bottom shit like forest car but does not point to the sky?
