Zenki s14.5 what's the best - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

SrZenkeh · 01-03-2014, 11:43 PM

Just bought a 95 zenki, had intentions to swap it over to a kouki front end untill I started looking around on here and a few online stores and found the s15 front end conversion, over here in Canada (not sure about other places) the s15 can't be imported just yet, so it would be awesome to do the s14.5 conversion.
So here's my question I guess, how are you guys doing the s15 front end? I've seen multiple kits online, which ones the best? Or are people making there own swaps?
Hood, bumper, fenders, lights, anything else needed/included?
I work in a body shop and have done multiple full on molded body kits with full quarters/skirts/fenders, and realize the importance of getting a quality kit, so who makes the best one?

Please, if you do go through with this, do yourself a favor and go metal fenders (cut and weld s14-s15). Sometimes when I see clean looking koukis, I regret doing the conversion.

Yeah my thoughts exactly, if I were to dothus I'm pretty sure I'd go all oem parts and go that route... The more I look through the kouki thread the more I lean towards them.... Plus much cheaper going that route.

Ive seen someone import a complete S15 type-S silvia, then stick the LHD dash and windshield into it from an S14.

That way you avoid all the body work and hassles associated with it.
