Question What do i need to put a s14 front on 90 240sx?

I did a search over several forums already including this one. I've checked the FAQ. I like to know how can i put a 97-98 240sx shark eyes front on my 90 240sx? I don't want to go with the strawberry face s15 front because there's too many out. Plus I love the shark eyes.

Can anyone tell me what components I will need and also what body mods will I have to work with?

I'm assuming I'll need the hood, headlamps, cornerlamps, fenders, bumper, core support?

Does the hood bolt right up? Seems like the s15 hoods bolt up, so I'm assuming the s14 hood should too right? Please give me some insight.

Thanks!

ive only seen it done once, don't know why it kinda looks good... but the fenders are different on s13's ... where they match the pillars, on s13s they are flat, on s14's they go up to meet the pillers, the s13 fenders are more like the s15 fenders in that way. so im sure you would have to do some custom body work on the fenders to make em look right but im not sure because ive never heard anyone talking about it. It would definitly be unique.

Yeah, I read about that, I understand that'll I will have to take both fenders and mend them together. What I'm concerned about is :

1. the hood lining up - do i have relocate the hood hinges or use s14 hood hinges?

2. Installing headlamps - do i need the core support? Or just the headlamp brackets (L-Shape looking things)?

3. Front bumper lined up.

Other than that, i would be set!

I've read how s13 front are put on and how s15 fronts are put on, so I'm assuming it would be nearly the same as the s15 front but seems like no one around the states has done the 180sx to s14 front?

15 in Japanese is "ichi-go". ichi-go also means strawberry, so it's called strawberry face.

i call Zenki S14's "round eye" and Kouki S14's "slant eye".

now, let's end all the whoring and give the guy some info!

as for the hood, i'm pretty sure the placement would definitley be different. the S14 is probably wider then the S13, and the hood is definitley shaped different since the car is on a different platform altogether. seems to me like you might need to get a hood made or get your S14 one customized a bit in order to fit properly.

you also might have to do some work to get the headlights and bumper to mount properly.
