Kouki conversion question

I"m thinking about converting my 95 s14 Zenki to Kouki.

1) Should I buy a Kouki core support or the bumper and headlight brackets separate?

2) Is the Kouki core support a weld-on or bolt-on?

3) Is anyone by chance selling Zenki headlights and fog lights housing?

Thanks!

One your asking 2 things asking about kouki then asking if people are selling zenki parts

Zenki and kouki core supports are almost identical except where the lights mount

Both are weld in but spot welded

Post in the wanted to buy if your looking for lights

So the brackets spot weld parts? hmmm.. and they're almost identical, do you have to drill new holes for anything?

Yea I know I'm asking for lights in a tech forum, I know its in the wrong forum but it doesn't hurt to ask.

and thanks

you don't have to buy a core support
kouki core support has access holes behind the headlamps for easy access to bulbs, zenki does not. It's optional.
headlamp brackets if you want a clean install, they spot weld
you can modify the zenki ones to work aswell

shit load of spot welds but people have installed inserts to make them bolt on
removable core support make engine swaps a breeze
AC would most likely be gone

The brackets I'm not sure about, I think the nismo ones are bolt on, like ^^^ he said the only holes is for the light bulb exchange, I only am saying what i know cuz I was gonna do a s13.4 but there is like 50 spot welds if you change core supports.

If you're planning to convert from zenki to kouki why do you want to buy zenki head lights and fog lights?

Cause I was thinking about doing the conversion and only asking what I needed for the supports. It's a lot of money to convert it. I posted it in the wrong forum and just thought I ask. But my headlight housing is broken and my fog lights don't work so well.
