Hey can anyone tell me how hard is to do the s13 front end conversion??

Very easy to do.. Search the forum and you should find a bunch of info on it, it is usually a reoccuring topic.

hey so what kind of title should i type in to do the search??

thanx

This is one of the threads where saying to do a search isn't needed.

Basically you need an extra hand to take off and install the hoods cleanly and taking off/replacing the bumpers.
Tools:
3/8 ratchet
3/8 6 point sockets in 10mm 12mm 14mm and a deep 17mm socket
phillips screwdriver
10mm open end wrench for getting to the bolts that connect the fenders to the bumper ON THE INSIDE after you remove the headlights.
Pretty straight forward- remove fenderlining around the wheel- take headlights out (remove phillips screws from black triangle covers while lights are in up position) then just remove any bolt you see from there on out.

I "think" I recall a web page of a guy who did it and had step by step pics- maybe someone has the link.
good luck.

What do you mean?
What foglights?
You lose pop-up lights with S13 conversion.

u know how tri-projector have the fog light or the dual-pro one can u connect those to the old pop-up light switch??

so when i hit that button the fog light will turn on

Then you should have said:
"well is it possiable to connect the fog light into the pop-up headlight SWITCH??"

Yeah, I've heard of that before.
You'll spend about $30 on tools and can do it mostly by yourself in a couple hours. No oil change/tune-up/brake/engine swap experience required. Don't even need to jack the car up- but it may be a bit easier just for convenience.

Did you get the two foot-long headlight brackets?

phil0729 · 06-07-2003, 12:21 AM
