Hey guys names sean. im new here. im 18. just started saving for a S13 and i figured id ask any specific things i should look at before i buy one other then strut towers, underbody, bad frame. Also ill be interested in doing a S15 front end conversion, and i cannot find a good complete kit, just bits and pieces. any help would be appreciated. Also what is the widest i can go on front and back without and custom cutting done. Sorry in advance if i did not post in the right place.

No they all look ugly
S15 front end on an S15 chassis= awesome
its like putting a Skyline front end on an S-chassis= Looks ugly as sin, unless tons of money is put into it to mold the rest of the body to flow with the front end.
and since you have to save to buy an S13 it def sounds like you dont have money, so if you do do it it will be halfed ass and look like dogshit like the rest of the ppl that do that conversion.
Save your money and fix shit that will be wrong with the chassis
So yeah on that note, SEARCH and FYI this thread will be closed

Enjuku sells the whole thing but I think he is refering to most s13.5s dont look good. You want to use metal fenders not the fiberglass.. Most of them apparently fit horrible so unless you can do body work yourself or balla status money. Probably shouldnt do it because its goin to look like crap.

Before anything try to get a clean, straight chassis. s15 front is no bueno if you don't have suspension or rims..if thats the case you have some saving up to do..

maybe to you guys its ugly, but not to me, and the enjuku kit is bolt on? i heard you have to do some fender fabrication, which i do not want to do. and stop flaming on me. lol an odyssey front? lol your mad stupid.

i see a kit on enjuku. dnt seem like they say any fabrication will be needed. only thing i dnt see on it is a harness for the lights. so im assuming the stock ones work?

Have you looked it up man? the info is out there because i use to want to do it and then i got kinda turned off of it when i saw it in person. I know there is a site somewhere with a detailed DIY. Zilvia will eat you alive, but it is one of the better forums so dont ask questions that have been asked a million times or you should expect backlash.

you have a lot to learn young grasshopper. you know you're a nub when you think S13.5 > Odyvia. Even more so when you've never heard of Odyvia conversion.

Well its not 100% bolt on because you have to install the core support from a s15 or drill into s13 silvia brackets , fenders dont 100% so you have to shave/ filling in, and its money for a shop to do it... we are talkin thousands to do it proper. You would hate to but all the money into something and it is still slow.. Boost or do a swap..

Age 18? Check
“saving” for an S13? Check
First plans queried include an “S15 front end conversion”? Check
Second plans include “how wide”? Check
5-lug question tossed in for good measure? Check
Sensitive to being flamed? Double check
Thus completes the “FNG checklist,” one that 11 times out of 8 sees a thread closed and the OP referred to search a topic (or 3) that has been run into the ground.
