i have been checking out the s13 silvia swap and i am in the process of finding a decent one, the ? is  that i have seen some websites selling the kit with the front core (rad) support, they told me it makes the conversion easier,    why     i mean they are the same front ends right, that is what i thought and most people i knwo do not swap out the core support     so what is the deal

Maybe you mean the Headlight support brackets, they're two L shape brackets that hold the headlights in place.  You could make your own, thats what I'm going to be doing.

yeah that is what i am gonna do,    i cannot remember which website i saw it on but the guy did say core support and that it made it easier, i e mailed him back asking how it made the swap easier and he never e mailed me back and that was about 4 days ago,   only thing i could think of was for the headlghts, but #### it is harder to drill all the welds and weld the core support back in than to make some brackets.
