I do not know much about Nissan's but I think they are very nice cars, I own a BMW M3, I love it but I wanted to buy a 97-98 Nissan 240SX and was wondering if the front end can be easily converted to the silvia, like acura with the type R or acura CL front ends? Also, is fairly easy to swap a skyline engine in it, such as the rb25det or rb26det?? I would like to purchase one of these but I'd like to find out more stuff on the 240 SX?
BTW how much would the conversion cost for both, front end and engine?? Thank you

use SEARCH. im sure if you typed in a search request for the things you are lookin for you will find tons of info. jdm front end will probably run you maybe a good thousand for headlights, grille, bumper, corners etc. an RB can run from $4600-$6000. maybe more. just SEARCH.

There is no need to covert 95-96 and 97-98 to Silvia because they have the same front end the Silvia does...

my guess is that you are not the type to change your own engine so that being said check out www.mckinneymotorsports.com for pricing and contact information

P.S. S14 frontend is a silvia frontend just change the grille and you are done

I'm talking about the conversion for headlights like on this guy's car, I tried researching it and I haven't been able to find anything on it!!!

that is an S15 frontend conversion if you search for s15 conversion info should come up
MASA makes fenders prob 700 ish
headlights also around 700
plus bumper 300-900 depending on style and availability
i think you also need radiator support
and hood
GFL dude peace
