So its crunch time for me on gathering the parts for the conversion... got most of the major parts now I got 2 options for the hood hinges, spend $$$ for the s15 hinges I couldn't find anywhere in North America (if you happen to know a place let me know) I have a vendor in Australia that would be willing to send me some or use s14 hood hinges i can get for about 20 bucks locally.

Heres the problem... I've read just about ALL the threads on multiple forums and theres ALOT of conflicting information about using s14 hinges for the conversions ARE THEY A BOLT ON AFFAIR like using s15 hinges for the conversion... some say you still have the move the brackets, so anyone out there with FIRST HAND information with using s14 hinges for the s15 conversion on a 93 Hatchback (180sx/s13) could you please chime in and clear this up? Bolt on or still gotta do custom work

THANK YOU!
