Anyone know how much is involved in the exa front end conversion onto the ET's?

Love the look, thinking about doing it, if it's not too much involved.

Cheers

Get the whole exa front end, unbolt the ET front, bolt the EXA one on. Wire the headlights up. Done

So basically guards, bonnet, lights, bumper. No need for radiator support swaps or anything.

thats about it

the exa has guard indicators that you can leave na or wire up

the light motor need to be wired when i did it i
didnt wire them i just pluged em in and left them up ( plug and play)

youll also want to think about changing the bonnet catch

as exa is longer on the release bar youll c it when you do it

it ll only take 2 3 hrs
plus paint if needed

all else bolts on

its kind of weird to get around the look at first then i grows on you really quick

it no difa then the silvia 180 front change its all up to the owner

if you got the parts and time spare give it a herl its worth the effort cos its f all and you can allways reverse it hehe youll only have wasted 4-6 hrs

As said above it's pretty straight forward, I did a onevia conversion to my s13 a few months back & all it took was a few hours to remove everything and bolt everything on, All the bolt holes match up & you will need the front bumper support but as on a 180 and silvia they are both different & there are 2 bars that go down infront of the radiator that need changing when doing the s13 one but they are the same on the exa and et..so you shouldn't have any issues with anything

Yeah, I've pretty much found a front end to use.

Does anyone know how hard it'd be to retro-fit an exa rear bar onto an ET. Has it even been tried? Just thinking it'd look good with matching bars.

The exa rer bar is longer than Standard pulsar rear by a long shot

Quick mock up. Not the best work, but a rough idea.

I love 2-tone cars for some reason.
