Take these items:

All Brake CalipersAll brake linesE-brake linesBrake Master cylinderLimited slip DifferentialAxlesSuspension Uprights

What's wrong with his motor? If it's running, take that and the transmission too.

But I've never seen a 5-lug conversion using Z32 parts. I suppose it's possible, though...

Even better than it fits in the Z. You'll be hard pressed to find many motors that don't fit into a 240...

brake lines are useless. unless he's got an s13 and the z32 is a 2+2, the e-brake cables are useless. if it a tt, the vlsd is useless. and i think only the n/a hubs are useable and only for either the front or the rear, i forget which is compatible with the s-chassis. if the motor is n/a, it's useless.

Thanks for the corrections. I wasn't totally sure if all the stuff I said to grab were compatible, but I figured the op could still sell them for a profit if not...

Looks easier to maintain, IMO. They free up alot of room by converting to a single turbo setup with eletric fans instead the the clutch driven fan+shroud combo. I have no idea why Z32 owners don't do the same...

N/A hubs will work for the rear, TT hubs will not as the spline count is different so you'll need the TT axles if you wanna run the TT hubs.

Front hubs won't work, but i forget why..i think it's the spindle or something...

you would also need the e-brake assembly(drum type) the calipers/rotors of course and the conversion brake lines.
