Wouldnt be too hard to spray that with can paint, i touched up my front and back bumper today, and the top alittle, you cant really tell that its been sprayed, only if you go upto it from 12 inches.

It's an S13 Silvia front end. It looks different to you since I have the dual halogen lights, instead of the triple or double projectors that are more common.

Well, maybe because Tupac didn't go on Zilvia. :wavey:

A long time ago, I wanted to do it because I wanted too. But two months ago, some asshole decides he wanted to back up into my car and leave without leaving a note or anything (hit n run). He cracked my CF hood in the process too. And instead of just buying some fenders and a new CF hood and a stock bumper, I just got the conversion while I was at it. I got it cheap too... cheaper than what most people pay for the triple projector conversion =D

looks tight. i like the square lights better than the tripple projectors. So how much did you get it all for?

personally, i like the 3 projector headlights better!! but thats my opinion!

looks pretty much like ass...the car is too high...you need to match the color..at least with spray paint to make it close..and those wheels are horrible...

PAINT the front and you are in need of some wheels. I'm sure its all a work in progress.

Squares = nice

Looked better before :p

Nice work either way, its good to be different... ;)

It's great you got it for cheap, but you're missing some stuff. Mainly, matching paint, all the proper vents for the bumper, and decent looking wheels. But hey, I'm sure it was a great price.

oh yeah, also..your cornerlights, headlights, and hood do not line up...fix that too...

Yea, I'm gonna paint it, or maybe just spray it black or something. I'm just waiting for some aero. I raised the car a little because I was going to somepart of town where there's some mean driveways. I dropped it 1/4" today and the rear 1/2". Wheels are next. Hopefully some 15" Rikens my friend is selling.

The lights look off since I rushed to put them on, since I was going to be late for work. I'll fix that tomorrow.

I got the whole thing for only $700, but with no grill, but I'm not complaining.

How did you get your corner lights to work? I really like the double halogens a lot ... can you remove the bulbs and change them out for brighter, or are they completely sealed like the 89-90 240sx? I am assuming sealed ... If I can find those halogens instead of projectors, that is what I want. But then again, triple projectors may match up better with black primer ... which is what I intend to wear on my car for a while.

The corner lights were just the sidemarker wiring from the old fenders. It was plug and play. I spliced the wires from the old headlights to these. They'are not sealed like the pop-ups are. You can change the bulb.

I have a a question. What's the inner bulb for? It goes like this

blinker/corner light/lowbeam with highbeam/ ? / grill / ? /lowbeam with highbeam/corner light/blinker

What are those ?'s
Foglights or something?

Chillaxed 240sx
01-22-2005, 11:20 AM
Yeah, those are foglights. I personally do not plan on ever wiring those up whenever I get my conversion completed. They seem to cause too many problems with a lot of people that have the conversion.

Why did you splice the wires into your headlights? They're plug and play ... right?

nice job on the front end. i think that is the sexiest front end of all the generations.
