I use La Bella 850 or 900 series strings (because I like them) which are loopend - I just tie one or two knots on the end of the string - works fine.
You will need to re-cut some of the nut slots to accommodate some of the wider nylon stings. Best thing is to string up first then test each string for fit - if the slot needs widening you can use a piece of folded fine grit emery paper (assuming you don't have needle files) - just lift out the string to one side, file gently, refiit the string - repeat the process until the fit is correct. Take it slow and steady.
You might also need to slacken off the truss-rod a tad but again string up first and check the neck relief.
And good luck - nylon rules.

Wouldn't happen to have a sound clip or video of your set up? Would like to hear that.
