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

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.

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.

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 ?

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.
