you need the silvia one to convert to silvia front, but i'll just butcher the s13 stock one since my widebody is crazy anyway, nowhere near OEM fitment

here's some pics of a S14 I did way back. On later cars I just cut a notch out the back side of the crash bar and plated in behind it.
On this one I cut out the entire center portion and welded in angle iron.
I kept the bumper cover bracket to help stiffen everything up.
Finished product with the factory SE lower lip
I ran the cold pipe up along the reciever drier for the AC. This car has a fullsize battery and working AC something the owner wanted.
You can see where the 2 studs for the bumper cover brace attach to the bumper cover
tight fit through here.

Check the lower oil pan. During shipping alot of times it gets dented up and crushes the oil pickup. Pretty common problem, alot of people replace the lower oil pan for GP.

Thanks for the pics matt, i don't have any welding skills or have someone to weld for me. So im going to try and cut into the metal and make something work. Would you know if there is a place that i can get that oil pan so i don't have to order one?

They have ebay knockoffs but the quality sucks. The stock one is fine. If it's dented you can alway just knock the dents out. I saw you live in Eldersburg ,I used to live in Westminster and now live in Hanover PA. If you need any help with anything let me know.

did you make a adaptor for the rear heater hoses? I know that was one of the things my friend had to make on his redtop to S14 swap. He also got the consult plug wired in and working which was nice. I'll PM you my number if you need any help.

a little update on the project. I got it tagged and titled today, I have been driving it all day without any problems, except for the minor things i still want to fix like fenders, hood, etc.
just need to get my blinker fixed, tach fix, speed tach fix. etc...anyone good with electrical. i hate dealing with it and dont intend on fooling around with it. Will pay for labor.
