hey GT specR can you get me the part number for the gasket that goes between teh hood and headlight? (basically the rubber trim at the edge of the hood where it meets the headlights). i need that.

Here are the part numbers and "suggested" pricing for each part. If your lucky you will not

have to pay the suggested price. I'm lucky that I find a dealership that will offer me

wholesale pricing, so I can get everything for under $1500 and just a bit over once you add VA tax. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

I just noticed that piece is seperate when you buy the hood, anyways here is the part number.

But I would just double check to see if its right....all the catalog says is "Seal, Core Support" and points to a seal from a pic of the hood and various parts.

Seal: 60895-50M01 - $0.64

DuceDual0 · 09-20-2002, 08:38 AM

i feel that H.I.D. is the best way to go, even though the kit is a little bit pricy, i think if you can afford to buy the headlights then you can afford the kit!

This thread isnt THAT dead... I have a question regarding the converions.  I have the 89 240 and I would really like to do the s14a conversion with the JDM lights.  Will there be a massive ammount of chopping required?

SimpleS14 · 10-22-2002, 03:37 PM

IIRC, it will require some custom work to get that front end on your car.  So basically yea you would need to do some chopping and buy the rad support.

I like the S13 front end (triple projector) or just a nice bumper (Type-X) on a '89 240SX.....but thats just me.

HonorableCheng · 10-26-2002, 01:21 PM

I read your post and after doing a little surfing i decided to do the following: I going to take a 89 240sx and bolt up the front end off a 95-99 240sx. I gonna use a cf hood for a 99 240sx (us), lights from 95-99 (us), and fenders from 95 (us). this will work right? <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/exclamation.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

No

Not trying to sound mean, but there is no such thing as a '99 240SX, maybe 200SX but thats something different.

Nothing will bolt up (easily), everything will require custom work.  Also you can not mix and match pieces (95 fenders with 98 hood).  The 95-96 has a different front end from the 97-98.  I'm assume you want the 97-98 look, so you will need all the parts listed on page one....

PLUS: Rad. support, turn signals, and side markers.  

You need the radiator(sp) support, thats a must.  It will make the install easier, but a place to mount the headlights.  The side markers may not be needed depending on what bumper you get.  As for the turn signals, you might have to get USDM or JDM depending on your bumper.  Also if you want a CF hood you need one for the 97-98 240SX.

Once again that will require some custom work, and if you have the $$$......good luck!  <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

Nope. that won't work and here's why....
There is no 99 US spec 240sx.
There are two types of lights for the 240 from 95-98. 95-96 are zenki, and 97-98 are kouki.
and the fenders for the 95-96 are different from the 97-98 along with the hood.

and none of those parts will just bolt right up to an 89 240sx. There's going to have to be some chopping involved.

Hey Grant, do you really need the 97-98 bumper reinforcement assembly?

HonorableCheng · 10-29-2002, 07:53 AM

Sorry about that, I jumbled what i meant to say.

Importfan.com is offering a free cf hood w/ the purchase of a body kit or bumper. it is made for the s15. will it fit on the us 89 240sx (s13, 180sx)? I intend to replace the 89 240sxfenders and lights with those from a us 95-96/97+ 240sx and make a us sil80 instead of a jdm one. is this possible and which would be easier.

Sniper-X · 10-29-2002, 06:23 PM

Sorry to burst your bubble again man, but an S15 hood will only fit on an S15 front end.  The lights and fenders won't line up other wise.  And remember that you can't mix and match front end parts from a 95-96 and a 97-98 240sx.  Their designs are different.  Both will involve cutting and welding in order to fit onto a 89 240sx so they will both probably be equally difficult to do, unless you can find a special kit that makes the conversion a bolt on affair but I doubt that.  
The easiest scenario would be to just do a regular Sil80 conversion because the 180sx and S13 share the same chasis in the US and unless I'm mistaken (and I could be) it would be a bolt on affair maybe w/ a few exceptions.

Sniper-X · 11-02-2002, 07:00 AM

Hahahahahahhahahaha!!!!  I got my parts in for my Kouki conversion a while ago but I haven't had the opportunity to check out all the parts till tonight.  My dad works for nissan so he's the one who ordered me my parts (I'm the one who paid for them so I don't want to hear anything about mommy and daddy paying for my shi*).  Well when I opened the box for my headlights....JDM headlights baby!! hahahahahahhaahhahahahha!!!!!!  I've been drinking so don't mind my enthusiasm.....but still! hahahahhahaahhaha!!!!!  JDM HEADLIGHTS!!!!!

lucky you <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/hmmm.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':hmmm:'>

Well I just finshed my conversion and it was pretty simple, just time consuming. The only mod I had to do are the headlights (because getting them to work). I have to drill three holes into the rad. support for the headlights. One for the plastic knob and the other two for the screws. There is one part I forgot to mention, which is very important to have.

Bumper reinforcement: 62290-80F00 - $200.00 (estimate)

This will add some extra support for the bumper, right now since I don't have it my bumper hangs and its not flush to the lights. But everything else was a direct bolt and I recommended you have a second hand on the hood.

I did everything by myself and it took me roughly 4 hours.

Did you get a full engine harness? because I can get the connector that plugs into the headlight without buying the full harness.

But everything else was a direct bolt and I recommended you have a second hand on the hood. As for wiring the lights its was pretty east, but it took me 15 minutes to figure it out.

What you do is snip the red and black wire off the connector on the headlight....JUST CLIP THEM, DO NOT CUT THE WIRES COMPLETELY OFF (as in have enough slack connect to the housing of the bulbs). What I did is take the black wire and connected it to the top slot from the power source for the headlights. Next I took the red wire and slipped it into the left slot of the power source. I recommended you have these wires exposed, such as having the metal exposed. This makes sliding them into the slots much easier. After doing this test your headlights, if it doesn't work or look dim switch the red wire to the other side slot. It will take you some time to get it just right so that when you put the headlights in and screw them down, the wires won't become unloose. Once you have the lights working and already bolted down, don't worry about it disconnecting while driving. I took my car on rough roads and hard turns and no problems.

Doing it your way can be a fire hazard, and may lead to corrosion of the wires although you may not notice it right now

anyways to do it the correct way is to find the other end of the harness off a 1997-1998 (i think it is avaliable thru the dealer, or you can find it off some sivlia k's clips) and splice it into your 95-96 wiring, just cut off the H4 harness because from here on that harness is use less.

I will try to post pictures of mine when I do get a chance.

luckily i bought my bumper support and foam off some guy here for only $30.. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

Yes, I need a more specific description of what Exactly is required for the headlights because i'm quickly approaching the part where I actually install those things and I'd like to be able to drive at night.  If i'm going to need a new wiring harness for my headlights I'd sure like to know rather than splicing wires.

*on a side note, that post that I made about JDM lights...when i look at them while i'm sober i don't really think they are JDM lights.  hahaha!  Drunken Stupors will do that to you I guess.   <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/blush.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':blush:'>

It's for both, because they both use H1's for low beams.  However the high beams should be the same.

Right now I'm taking the cheaper route, which is buy the H1 connectors and splice them with the wiring that powered the H4 connectors.  Oh yea I also bought new harness for the ones I cut.  <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sigh.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

I like the S13 front end (triple projector) or just a nice bumper (Type-X) on a '89 240SX.....but thats just me. __________________ *Goals are dreams with a deadline.* L.H.O.O.Q.

Nothing will bolt up (easily), everything will require custom work.  Also you can not mix and match pieces (95 fenders with 98 hood).  The 95-96 has a different front end from the 97-98.  I'm assume you want the 97-98 look, so you will need all the parts listed on page one.... PLUS: Rad. support, turn signals, and side markers.   You need the radiator(sp) support, thats a must.  It will make the install easier, but a place to mount the headlights.  The side markers may not be needed depending on what bumper you get.  As for the turn signals, you might have to get USDM or JDM depending on your bumper.  Also if you want a CF hood you need one for the 97-98 240SX. Once again that will require some custom work, and if you have the $$$......good luck!  <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=''> <span style='font-size:8pt;line-height:100%'>anyone chime in if I missed something</span> __________________ *Goals are dreams with a deadline.* L.H.O.O.Q.

Importfan.com is offering a free cf hood w/ the purchase of a body kit or bumper. it is made for the s15. will it fit on the us 89 240sx (s13, 180sx)? I intend to replace the 89 240sxfenders and lights with those from a us 95-96/97+ 240sx and make a us sil80 instead of a jdm one. is this possible and which would be easier.

Sniper-X Zilvia Junkie Join Date: Mar 2002 Location: Honolulu Posts: 403 Trader Rating: (0) Feedback Score: 0 reviews	Sorry to burst your bubble again man, but an S15 hood will only fit on an S15 front end.  The lights and fenders won't line up other wise.  And remember that you can't mix and match front end parts from a 95-96 and a 97-98 240sx.  Their designs are different.  Both will involve cutting and welding in order to fit onto a 89 240sx so they will both probably be equally difficult to do, unless you can find a special kit that makes the conversion a bolt on affair but I doubt that.   The easiest scenario would be to just do a regular Sil80 conversion because the 180sx and S13 share the same chasis in the US and unless I'm mistaken (and I could be) it would be a bolt on affair maybe w/ a few exceptions. __________________ Image Exceeds Maximum Limits set by User Agrrement.

But everything else was a direct bolt and I recommended you have a second hand on the hood. As for wiring the lights its was pretty east, but it took me 15 minutes to figure it out. What you do is snip the red and black wire off the connector on the headlight....JUST CLIP THEM, DO NOT CUT THE WIRES COMPLETELY OFF (as in have enough slack connect to the housing of the bulbs). What I did is take the black wire and connected it to the top slot from the power source for the headlights. Next I took the red wire and slipped it into the left slot of the power source. I recommended you have these wires exposed, such as having the metal exposed. This makes sliding them into the slots much easier. After doing this test your headlights, if it doesn't work or look dim switch the red wire to the other side slot. It will take you some time to get it just right so that when you put the headlights in and screw them down, the wires won't become unloose. Once you have the lights working and already bolted down, don't worry about it disconnecting while driving. I took my car on rough roads and hard turns and no problems.
