Sold Lsx it is.

Edit: where can I get a NICE Silvia front end? I don't wanna buy a fucked up one.

Check with RIP Garage, they're local. I know they normally do nose cuts which gets you everything minus a hood and fenders, but you might be able to work something out with them when they go overseas to source parts out. A LOT of the local 240 guys will vouch for them, they're good guys with AWESOME prices and parts up for sale.

As far as the required parts list, here's what you'll be looking for:

Headlight brackets
Front bumper support
Bumper cover
Fenders
Hood
Headlights
Headlight corner lamps
Front turn signals
Grille shell

The first two are probably the most difficult to get ahold of if you don't buy the conversion all in one place like you would from RIP or Password:JDM. I don't know if you've done any research on it, but if it's S13 onto S13, everything bolts up in the EXACT same place and the headlights/front signals plug right in with the same harness. The only wiring you'll have to do is to extend the side marker wiring to reach the ambers on the corner lamps, and then add in wiring to include the white bulbs in the corner lamps with the rest of the headlight assembly. It's pretty straightforward, no welding necessary. Further wiring depends on which headlight configuration you get...triple projectors, dual projectors w/ yellow fogs (like mine) or dual halogens.

I hope to god your kidding. It's a s13 with a ls1 in it lol

I wouldn't mind having that grille shell...looks a LOT stronger than mine, haha.

(And please promise that your engine bay will be the same color as the rest of the car...hell, paint it before you do the outside, just to make sure you follow through, haha.)

Yeah it will be painted the same color as the rest of the car. I need to find someone to tuck the shit out of my bay for me.

idk man LS1 in a 240 is cool. I just wouldn't feel safe in it.

**jhadleyh** · 01-22-2010, 01:32 PM

Why not?

**AFSil80** · 01-22-2010, 02:48 PM

A lot of motor, not a lot of car around it in case shit gets wild, which it will easily do with an LS1 in there.

As long as you're a smart driver and understand the whole 'time and place for everything' rule, you should be straight.

Cage ftw.

LS1 240 isn't THAT fast though.

Second to last looks cool minus the side skirts. Can't ever go wrong with sticky tires, a functional rear diffuser and a real wing.

It's probably just me, but I think the stock flip up lights look so much better than the "sil" conversion. I like the different tails, just not the headlights.
