s13 with s14 front question

[drez]

hows it going people.... well i got a quick question i got a 180sx and want to put a s14 front on it.... the question is that i have not found a good answer if it will all bolt right up or will i have to do major custom work.... i assume that with out bumper supports i could make it all fit but i kind of want my engine in case something happens ya know.... thank all... later....

Depends if you call welding the front 1/2 of an s14 fender to the rear 1/2 of your s13 stock fender 'major custom work' or not.

And that's just the beginning.

you cant just redrill the holes for it..... cause are about the same size......

No.

Lots and Lots of custom work....

also i dont think the S14 fronts (either Zenki or Kouki) would flow with the lines of the s13...

on a 180sx the s14 zenki front looks hot and on an s13 (coupe) the kouki front end looks hot!

well started today and dam .... the bumper is easy it bolted right up and the fenders not only do i have to cut some off im prob gonna do hat you all said and cut half and half.... the hood however is another story.... my s13 hinges are to wide and the s14 ones dont let it sit on the latch..... so i gotta move that up some... this welding thing is gonna be intresting... never welded before but theres a couple people over here that have so im hoping.... some said i should just jbweld it.... again i spent all night looking at the web and nothing on this conversion... just people talking about how they feel about it... any links would be helpful.... ill prob take some pics 2marrow and post so you can all see the progress....

Good luck with that...post pics when you're finished...

[ucfz31s13]

You are not going to be able to JB Weld the front/rear half of 2 fenders together. Whoever said that is completely ignorant.

As you've noticed you'll need custom hood hinges as well.

Also front core support for mounting the lights.

zip ties!!! :P

seriously though, good luck with the conversion.

just a suggestion:

take a ton of pictures as you progress and write up a FAQ that we can tell other noobs to search for in the future! :)
