Has anyone ever change the front end of a 91-92 b13 to
a 93-94 b13,Meaning grill, headlights, etc

I did it, and it was easy,for those who can't afford or don't
like the tsuru headlights,and ya'll out there with foggy
headlights.When I did this my front end was lookin crystal
clear with aftermarket headlights that only cost $64 bucks
each.you can change your 91-92 foggy headlight and ugly
grill to brand new 93-94 style parts for about $185 bucks
trust me it totally worth it

please let me know what you think

uh.. no theyre not. the 91-92 had shorter glass headlights.. the
93-94 are a bit longer and and the grill is slightly different the headlights are made of plastic..

they wont fog but theyll turn yellow..


but then you can make the clear jsut by sanding them down.. and polishing

ok if someone on the streets notices that u have a 91 to 94 nissan sentra front conversion u know u must be a se-r nut cause ok the diff is so minor that its just not even worth it in my opinion.

No way, man. It's totally worth it for the deeper chin spoiler. I must say that my car looks ten times better after having only done that. I don't think that the plastic headlights and grill are a big improvement, though. I think that just getting the stock 91-92 grill looks good enough, but for only $185, yo8u can't really go wrong if you are just after a different look.

Personally Myself I have the Tsuru kit, but the 91-94 conversion
is something I did with my old sentra after I wrecked it.Plus
I like the look of 93-94 front end wayyy better,so I tried it
and they fit perfectly.

i totally agree... the only thing people will notice is the bumper... but the headlight and grill are not that noticeable...

Some have said that the headlight pattern on the 93-94 is better.

Not sure whether the light pattern on the later lights is better or not.
One thing you DO get w/ 93-94 lights is bubble levels on top of the headlight buckets which will help in aiming them correctly.
Ya'll do check the aim occasionaly, don't you?

if you like the front bumper you can just swap the front bumper. And if you just like the headlights you can swap just the headlights, grill and fillers

Yo I got the parts from a place in Miami called Partsmaxx
headlights$64 EA
grill$15
you must get the 93-94 turn singnal lights $15 EA
and you need the filler pieces $7EA
thats cheap!!!!!!

trust me when I did it my entire front end was glee'min so
shiny,other people with sentras would ask me where did
I get my grill, all the the parts come shiny and black except
the filler pieces they com white.

I the tsuru kit would have never came out,trust me
I would have converted my 91 SE-R also.

ok heres a story for ya.

i'll tell ya right off that im a ga16 who's plates should read sr wnbe. but i just had to join this post beause in a recent scavange to find replacement headlights for my 93 XE, i had one hell of a time. the whole front end: bumper, grill, and of course headlights are sandblasted from the previous owner who drove the car 90% highway. so seeing that my headlights weren't just dirty, the glass was pitted to hell. thats right i said "glass", i went down to my friendly neighborhood junkyard for some replacements. we got lucky, they had one pair off a 93 sentra! woo hoo!
so i drive down there and he brings these bulky yellow plastic colored headlights. i take one look and say those are not the same headlights!
well they came off a 93.
well i've got the car here and those are not the same headlights!
so we go out and look. low and behold they are completely different. mine are smaller, glass and black- backed.
so i left in fustration.
so to cut a few days out of this story, we finally traced back to where the car was in a front end accident withen 6 months after leaving the dealership which was in march of 93. the wonderful man who fixed the car welded on a completely new front clip from about the wheel well. the nose he put on was a 92. which is illegal, at least in Maine, where i live.

so here i am now with the same sandblasted ugly front end, and now the front bumper is cracked at the spoiler. the rest of the car is practically mint, cept for a few pea sized rust marks poking out at the well wells and trunklid. i really have no point, i just had to get this all out. but i do now have a question

so you guys are saying that i can buy 93 parts, grill, lights, bumper and it will fit on this 92 front clip?

i'm assuming the ugly bulky 4 blade window shade style grill is the old style.
