Can someone help me find a company that sells a complete conversion kit? I have found a few place's that sell a S15 conversion kit. But I am agenst makeing a car look like something it's not, and it still wouldn't look like one anyway.
I just can't seem to locate a S14 conversion kit anywhere.

If you just want the JDM look then get the badges, it's all you really need, you can also get the front bumper if you want. If you want a 97-98 look then you will need the bumper (if JDM bumper you need JDM turn signals), headlights, corners lights, grille, hood, fenders, fender lining, and bumper support.

He said S14, S14 is a JDM term.

i thought it was just a chasis code which all are just called s14???? isnt it just a plain ol silvia in japan?? people just say "s14" to distinguish between all the different silvias right????
i guess what im saying is its not only a jdm term??? since its the chasis correct?? everyone has that chasis on a 95-up. feel free to steer me in the right direction.

Over in Japan they are the S13 Silvia and S14 Silvia. Here it's 89-94 240SX and 95-98 240SX. To distiguish the 95-96 and 97-98 they use the terms Zenki and Kouki, same for early and late model 180SX. Anytime you here something else then 240SX, it's a JDM term.

your partly there...looking under the hood of my '98 240sx it has the chassis code of S14. So saying s13 [silvia] and s14 [silvia] in jdm just distingushes the model they are talking about. I think its just confusing because they call it a 240 here and silvia there. and how much it sucks that we got screwed with an engine that doesnt perform as well as the jdm one (stock).

Well over here the chassis is S14 because it is in Japan, but you ask a guy at a Nissan dealer what an S14 is and he's never heard of it, you go to Japan and ask a guy at the dealer what an S14 is, he'll know right away.
