s15 front end conversion

[510_jøé]

i was wondering if there is anyone who has done a s15 front end swap on a s13 fastback (which im sure there is). after some saving im looking into buying a kit and i what im trying to find out is will i there anything else other than a hood, head lights, bumper, and some fenders. im pretty sure that when i post this im gonna get a few people in here whos gonna say try google sometime and i have just so you know. i read that im gonna need a s15 core support and i also read that i wont need it can i get some help please before i buy some half a**ed conversion kit....o and i also heard that the hood will fit on s14 hindges has anyone also heard of that

s15 core makes it easier, but not required.... i would recommend getting it because your fitment will be better...

you need:
s15 headlights
s15 hood
s15 bumper
s13.5 conversion fenders
s15 core support w/ s15 headlight brackets

there are a ton of threads about this swap, and it has been done a ton of times, just use the search feature on this forum....

We had a s15 front conversion done to my gf's car and you can see some of the poctures here.

Parts needed is like what the previous poster said:

S15 hood

S15 bumper

S15 headlight and headlight bracket (usually included when you buy the headlights new)

S13.5 Conversion fenders (we used Origin with pretty good results)

S15 core support is the best way to do it (we used half s15 core support, top portion, and half s13 core support, bottom portion. We didnt even have to remove the tension rods. Just cut and weld.

S14 hood hinges.

S14 hood prop.

I also bought a s13.5 headlight wiring harness from chargespeed for $150 but there is also a guy on here that does these conversion harnesses too for $130 or so.

Hope that helps.

thanks guys panda u also answered another question that i was wodering about. as far as the core support the s15 core support as a whole is harder to put on right? i read that it is...just trying to take advantage of what you know lol

side note: to all of those reading this i heard that extreme dimensions SUCK anyone have any opinions/experience(i was this close -->| |<-- to buying from them but from what i read im gonna go origin....im gonna be so broke but cool lmao

Core support wise, I guess it depends. I paid a shop to do all the body work. It costed me 900 to do the core support, drill out welds, cut the top s13 and weld on the top s15. This way, the tension rods, air condensor, radiator, ect dont have to be removed.

You can also use the method Yoshi did with his s13. He has a tutorial out, just google him. He used the existing s13 core support and just cut bigger holes to fit the s15 headlights, then modified s13 silvia headlight brackets.

But using the s15 core support is the cleanest method.

Hope that helps.

P.s.
Origin is a hit from what I hear. I just got lucky. Quality fiberglass conversion fenders are easily 600+.

Hey,

im planning to sell my conversion parts... right now I have all the parts for the
S14.5 (fenders are the difference actually S14.5 fenders) other than that all parts work for you... I have,,

S15 OEM new Radiator Core Support
S15 OEM used Headlight in decent condition w/ brackets.
S15 carbon fiber hood
S14.5 fenders ( maybe not for you)
S15 bumper (cant remember style ill check once I get to my storage)


lmk if you may be interested and we can talk, I can send you pics... all parts are pretty good but I cant finish my project...

cya.

i have a s13 fastback, so idk if the fenders would work, however if your willing to sell it not as an entire kit ill get the hood headlights, the core support and maybe the bumper depending on the look/style

i would love to see some pics if you have any

[OutToWinPAHC]

I did that about 6-7 years back, wish i didn't but this was my old LS6 swapped car that someone on here owns now

OEM S15 everything, fenders were mated with the S13 fenders.

[510_jøé]

i would like ti keep it all oem but a ls6 240 thats dope

[guillermo corro]

Wow, well actually... that's exactly the front bumper that I have... I remember because I was looking for the OEM fog lights and were really expensive, lol,...

But anyways,, the fenders are fiberglass ready to fit a S14.5 so if you will be using them on a S13 you may have to modify,, its fiberglass.. everything is virtually possible, but its up to you... I got them cheap so ill pass them cheap.. but Its not a big deal, if you are interested on everything else.. ill keep the fenders... or if we agree a good price ill throw them....

I don't want to put all pics here.. unless u want.. do you have a mail to send you pics of actual parts?,,,

hood is carbon fiber OEM style
bumper is the one in the picture up here,, (forgot the name)
Radiator core support is OEM from Nissan(used to have the box but not anymore)
headlights are in decent condition,,, ill send you pics.. and actually for free I throw the HID bulbs for the projectors... lol no idea where are the ballast, sorry
fenders have a vent and a light spot... for the blinker.. don't remember model..(need some repair but not a big deal before painting..)

lmk about your email, are you interested in all parts so we negotiate a price??,,

TY.

ps. I attached some pics. tomorrow I can get more,,

[510_jøé]

sent u a pm more pics the better
