i vagly remember someone telling me that the s13 headlights fit on and should be to much trouble to fit the bumper on if the widths are simliar!

Might be easier to fit an s12 rear end to the S13 though

get a tape measure out, first thing you'll notice is the height difference in the panels. not a chance without major fabrication IMO

I think Silviagod does a modified s13 front bumper for the silvia, it might be worthwhile asking him .
Regards,
Ian.
P.s. This is something I`m looking at doing to. I`ve got my eye on a cheap 200sx at the moment, mostly for the red top engine and the parts to change my silvia from an auto to a manual. So I`d be interested to know how difficult, fitting other 200sx parts would be .

What front bumper did race silvia fit? wasnt it from a PS13? it looked a good fit, maybe its better to use PS13/Sileighty bits as there a square front to start with.
