Best ways to do Silvia conversion on s13 - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Ok Im about to start taking everything off and Im wondering if there is any tricks or easy ways to take the complete front end off? I already have the hood off and that piece under rad and shit. Should I take the front bumper off first then fenders then lights or what should I do. Also looking for anythings I need to know for re installing the front.

PS. I did a search and didn't find anything so no flamming lol

Seriously, un bolt your Stock front end. Bolt up all the new parts. It explains itself.

well put the fenders on first, and zip tie everything. Makes removal easy, and crashing less of a pain sometimes...

obviously its un bolt and bolt on but Im looking for any tips or anything to make it easier. Thanks DJPimpFlex I will do that, I guess it makes it easier to line the bumper up. Anything else guys?

yea the bumper is whatever. Making the fenders line up makes everything else line up too. The hood is the bitch thing to get perfect. The bumper allignes itself. Also I dont know if you know, and I didnt, but the USDM bumper support and the JDM bumper support BOTH need to be modified. The holes that bolt to the chassis need to be slotted. Not that big of a deal. The USDM one needs the top lip cut off and rewelded also to fit the silvia bumper. Or you can throw that shit in the trash like I did after a while. I dont recomend it if your going to daily drive, but I track only my car and after cutting it to fit for the silvia bumper and the FMIC and it still not fitting correctally I just said fuck it. Other than that its pretty straight forward. The pieces were made for the car so they should bolt on great, unless there aftermarket then GL with that. Lots more work. OEM for Life!
