Silvia Front End Install

Well guys I have a silvia front end now and I’m needing to intsall it and I’m not sure how it’s done. Like how is the wiring done and other things. If anyone has done this before which I know some have please let me know the easiest way of doing this. Thanks

take the wheel well covers out, it takes away alot of the painful twisting to get at the front bumper bolts. but basically, its a joke, you can do it in a couple of hours. As for wiring, did you get all the plugs or is it just cut wires?

no nothing as far as wiring goes not even blubs

Like Lo)2enz0 said. Take the wheel well covers off. There are screws all along the inside lip of the fender then there are little button type clip thingies more towards the inside of the well, odds are you’ll wind up breaking them off but you could try and leave the lining hanging.

Then you’ll need a long extension for your ratchet to get to the bolts closest to the door. A good 10 inches at least. I used two shorter ones for and put them together. You go in through the fender well. Same story with the bolts into the bumper. The extensions come in handy but you 'll probably have to wedge your hand in there to get to the bolts near the top. Don’t be surprised if you rip the heads off a few of them either, they’re old and probably rusted to shit. Just reuse the good ones and don’t worry if you’ve got a few bolts missing. Make sure you take the bumper off before the fenders too, makes it a lot easier.

Then reassemble in reverse order using the silvia parts.

I’m useless with wiring the lights though.
B-Wurm :smiley:

Please tell me it is already painted the same color as your car, or your’re getting your car painted immediately after you put this front end on!!!

haha well it’s blue right now but it’s only gonna cost me 100 for paint and to fix some dents on it

HAHAHA, boost_infested is rollin’ the “two tone”, what’s so bad about it :lol: It just shows the different skin colors of both parents.
