Parts needed for bumper swap? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

I can't find info for what is needed for fitting the 91-94 front onto the 89-90 front end. can it be done using the bumper support, foam insert, and fenders all from the 89-90?

you need the fenders,bumper,and i think the hoods are the same.

EchoOfSilence · 02-21-2005, 05:38 PM

i thought the fenders from both were the same?

I am wondering this as well because I have a dented fender on my 89, and it is much easier to find 91+ fenders than it is to find 89-90. Anyone know if it is a direct swap?

EchoOfSilence · 02-21-2005, 05:57 PM

i thought they were the same but had different hole patterns

pablo180 · 02-21-2005, 11:57 PM

the fenders are different...but you can make it fit....looks ghetto...and i dont recommend it if you are going for a flush look
attatched is a pic of my old car, 92 bumper but on 90 fenders

its not the fenders, its just a piece that goes over the fender.

EchoOfSilence · 02-22-2005, 04:32 PM

anyone know where i can get that piece?

So can you do 91+ fenders on an 89? Ill just be replacing the pass side fender, keeping the pignose bumper and driver side 89 fender.

i have always been told that the 91-94 bumper is a direct fit, havnt heard that it wasn't flush either, i have a pig nose right now on my 89 and i looked into getting a 91 bumper and they never mentioned fitmen problems with fenders...

s13gonwild · 02-24-2005, 12:25 AM

the 91+ fenders are a bit longer...and no its not the add on lip that covers that gap up..the fenders ARE diffrent, therefore you need the fenders to make a CLEAN OEM swap. looks pretty ghetto with that gap...IMO do it right or dont do it at all. good luck guys and you can get OEM aftermarket fenders for like 60 bucks a pop..only diffrence is they are a bit thiner, and made somewhere in china or sumthing

Uhh, wtf.

Fenders are the SAME... just need to drill new holes to mount the chuuki bumper.

The bumper doesn't "flush up" with the fenders because it needs the side valences, which you can probably buy from the dealer.

Bumper Support SHOULD be the same, but don't quote me on that.

IT FITS FINE.

bumper support is not that same. it is almost the same except on the edge there are little humps welded on.. doesnt relaly make a difference if you aren't you using the foam bumper support because the bumps are for flush fitment on the foams. the foams are different for the different shapes of the bumpers.

i would think those side valance pieces would be expensive from the dealer..
