S13 conversion install question - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

I have a complete s13 conversion besides the hood which i have to pick up 6 hrs away. I was wondering can i put the entire conversion on and use my old hood. I know there are going to be gaps where the hood meets the lights is just that i dont have a truck to pick up the hood so i was thinking just leaving that hood on untill i go to pick up the hood and switching right at the place im buying the s13 silvia hood from. Just wondering thanks.

It's an S13 Silvia conversion.
Your car is already an S13.

The flip-up headlight hood will still bolt on with the rest of the Silvia face for your purposes.

Yes you can use the pop up light hood. it just gonna look funny

Edit: Dam beat me too it lol

^^^ Hmm, looks like you can close up one side and sort of make a custom intake duct on the other. Of course, shit would still not line up.
