im doing a s13 to s14 kouki front conversion and i was wondering if i needed to get a s14 core support? also i heard dat i could use da s15 core support because its pretty much the same as the s14? thanks in advance

first of all i didnt need to be flamed and for you stupid peepo who say search, the dam search button wasn't working at that time. and wat about my language? im from hawaii and i got da pidgin slang talk! and yes i got my answer about the s14 core support but it dont answer my question about the s15 core support! so you read before you talk!

you need s14 core support, it's to mount the headlights and line up the hood and fender better. s15 is alittle different than s14.

yeah your going to need the s14 support, the s15 wont work with the s14 headlights

Get the AIT Bmagic kit. You don't need an S14 core support. The kit comes with brackets. With slight cutting of the S13 core support, depending upon how bang up your front end is, it should fit.

I'm doing this swap right now and this was what I was told. I'll let you know if I find out otherwise.

thanks for all the input..... i bought some conversion fenders already and it didnt come with the headlight brackets... so, i might just purchase the s14 headlight brackets and i might not pick up the radiator support after all. also can i still use my s13 bumper support or do i need the s14 one?

if anyone got pics of dere conversion post em up and ill try post some pics up of when i start the conversion

Bump, Im in the process also. I bought conversion fenders from Raceonusa.com, and the fit from 1-10 ,its a 2. Anyone knows, if the kouki hood will line up this the s13 latch lock?

get the ait kit, the bracket makes things alot easier and hassle free.
make the whole front end solid like stock, if you mickey mouse it, it'll be just loose and noise everywhere(some people would know what I mean by noise).

Depends on how clean you want it, There is defiantely no NEED for the core support. the one here at XAT does not have the core support. He also used hood pins short term since he was having a problem lining up the stoc kouki hood with the s13 latch. If you want a factory look though you should prolly do the core support as well as have it professionally done. Good Luck.

Go to Google. Type in ait bmagic. It should take you to their site within the first 2 or 3 hits, if not the first hit.
