You need fenders, hood, healights, headlight brackets, grille, bumper, corner lights and turn signals in bumper (unless you have 89-90 because they fit.) ---

no sir, the S13 refers to the chassis code. sivlia’s, 180sx, 240sx hatchback, and 240sx coupe, all share basically the same chassis. They are all S13’s I do believe he’s refering to the S13 silvia front end. They bolt right up, and only require a small amout of wiring for the corner lights to operate correctly. ---

Actually John is correct. the ONLY ‘S13’ is the 1988-1990 CA18DET powered SILVIA. The 180SX w/ CA is RS13 The domestic 240SX is either the HS13 for the coupe or RHS13 for the HB… And then later (DOHC KA) it became MS13 and RMS13 SO SCREW YOU ALL JOHN WAS RIGHT (the later SR powered Silvia coupe has a ‘P’ before the S13) ---

Thanks Max 🙂 😃 🙂 😃 I’d just like to say “PWNT” to the following: lucky bing scribbles axlerod logik23 krgoodwin robbbby nutta bing s14\_2nv you all suck 😃 Like I said - “s13” is common SLANG for our cars, but technically it is not correct. An S13 is a silvia chassis code, not 240sx. ---

Then again, why does it say S13 on the DEALER’s computer? And also in the owner’s manual? S13 is the complete line, RS13, MS13, etc are for the specific ones, but they are all S13s. ---

They are all revisions of the original S13 If you bought a headlight for an ‘S13’ you would get the square glass headlight from a 1988-1990 Silvia coupe. ---

An S13 is a silvia chassis code, not 240sx. If it’s the silvia/180sx chasis code and the 240sx has the same chasis as the silvia/180sx then how is calling it an “s13” wrong? ---

Actually, if you order a headlight for an s13 in North America, they will sell you a 180sx popup headlight. Call 401 and Dixie Nissan to check if you want.
