Default S15 RHD convertion

Ok im in a little hole here. NIssan guys please help me out. After some crazy **** with US customs becasue of some dumb guys trying to import an s14 and a s15 from japan through mexico, have finally ended up in a junk yard. The s14 is gone. However the s15 they still have, My buddy was able to get his hands on the complete s15 front end convertion, adn was wondering if it could just bolt onto a 240??? Also the front clip is still left. SO, my question is will the s15 RHD clip weld onto a 240 sx from here? For an eg the only thing that needs to be done is cut the firewall and reweld the RHD one. But for the 240sx since im not a nissan guy, i was just wondering if it will work the same way??. can i just cut the 240sx firewall and reweld the s15 one? If there is any nissan guys out there let me know. PLEASE. my buddy had a s13 before but he doesnt really know much about the RHD convertion , he never go that far and wasnt really interested. and now that we got or hands on a s15, we are getting the whole front clip for CHEAP(s15 RHD convertion for 600). you tell me if that is not cheap. So please nissan guys help me out here.

thanks

I think the s15 is a little bit wider...

Yeah thats a real descriptive shot of the body widths on those two car one has wider fenders and wider bumper and the other is just a stock from the side shot...


You could also learn how to spell conversion.

Do you know anything about the 240 scene? This conversion has been covered thousands of times. Try a NISSAN forum.

If Im not mistaken you need the fenders, hood, bumper, headlight assembly, bumper and rad support.

the S15 front doesnt just BOLT UP. Its a CONVERSION. Think JDM Front on a USDM integra. Youll need to costumize the S15 fenders (weld S13 to them) for the best fitment.

SEARCH in 240sx related Forums, it's been covered a million times.

hey jackass, uhhh read his post.

"My buddy was able to get his hands on the complete s15 front end convertion, adn was wondering if it could just bolt onto a 240??? "

derrr MidShipCivic youre a tool. And just an FYI, the S13.5 fenders dont fit nearly as good as mated S13 and S15 METAL fenders. OEM is best. Do you own a S15 fronting S13? I did.

That's weird from what I read he imported an s14 and an s15 and both got crushed and he was able to snag the front clip off of the s15 and wanted to know if that bolted up to an s13

if I read it correctly.

no need to be a douchesnozzle.

First of all your wrong 137 i did not import the s14 or s15 someone else and custome caught them. Also they never got crushed, instead they got parted out. Some guy got his hands on the whole RHD s14 convertion he pretty much chooped the car from the door jams forward and also took the doors. as for the s15 well my homie just got the fenders,hood, lights, and bumper and the core support. he sold that already. as for the rest of the car we were going to get it but because there is to many [freak]ing kids that do not know how to appretiate a nice car when they see one. freaking took any random part they car get on there hards. they ended up messing all the interior up. and to find those parts it was just going to cost to much money so we decided to not get it. sorry for my blab on here, but thanks for the info, in not a nissan guy, however hopefully would like to get into the drifting seen sooner or later.

thanks all

'' custom fabbed'' fender are only as good as the user makes them so your comparison is void, and you're not on the update because there are several of different companies making conversion fenders and some of them have perfect fitment .
