The s14 has 2 versions: Kouki & Zenki
A conversion is taking a Zenki or s13 era Silvia and brining it up to a Kouki or s15 front style. This can be a simple front bumper, headlights swap or as far as engine, suspension, etc.

Ah, I see... That's why they called it a conversion coz it could be more than just a front bumper swap. Thanks for the info.

And to be more in depth, the s13 is considered Zenki, the s14 is Chuki, and the s15 is Kouki (not available in US). The s14 has two body styles, hence Zenki and Kouki
