I just read that post about that honda 240sx (puke, but it does give me something to rag the local Honda boys about).  But the Silvia S14a is beautiful, is there anywhere I can get that conversion for my 95-96 240, that looks exactly like the kit they had for that honda.


Sorry I ask so much "Where to get questions" but Im new to all this.  Thanks in advance

Well, for your car it's simply finding the actual front end to a 97-98 silvia and swapping it. You should be able to pull it off if you can find the s14a headlights and hood. Um, don't ask me where to find these parts, 'cause I dunno <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'>

Yeah I wouldn't have a clue where to find that stuff. &nbsp;That's crazy, Im sitting here with a 240 and I don't know where to get S14a conversion, but the average
(and they are average) joeblow Civic or Teg guy can grab one up at will......But thanks for the input misnomer <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'>

junkyarddog.com seems to be pretty good. &nbsp;However, I think it would be cheaper to just sell your car and buy a 97-98. &nbsp;If you're gonna swap the front end and spend that kind of $$$, go for the s15 front end. &nbsp;I saw one a few weeks ago, and the crowd around the thing was so huge you could barely get to it.

The</a> first pic, the grey one (crunched to crap) &nbsp;still has most of the front end left. &nbsp;It is an s15 that looks like it lost a fight with a telephone pole.
And the fourth pic in the top row, the yellow one, is a s15.

VOW....Now that's sweet. &nbsp;That is a beautiful car. &nbsp;Thanks for the pics guys. &nbsp;I've gotta friend from the Nissan homeland and he's always bringing j-spec race engines back for the guys around here. &nbsp;He leaves in 3 months for another &quot;performance run&quot; so maybe I'll see what he can find for me as far as Silvia parts go. &nbsp;
