question guys, will the entire shock and hub assembly of a 300zx fit on an s13? i want to do it for the five lug conversion and the larger brakes. on front and back. and i know the 300 zx upright has a different shock attachment than the s13. i was wondering if i could just take the whole thing from a junkyard and put it on there.

also... my cv joints are shot. will s14 joints fit on there? or do i strictly need s13?

(btw it's a 90 hatch)

thanks for all your help.

The 90 AND UP 300ZX REAR WHEEL ASSEMBLIES WILL WORK ON THE S-13 IF YOU REMOVE THE HUB FROM THE 300ZX SPINDLE AND INSTALL IT ONTO THE 240 SPINDLE. BALL JOINTS ARE DIFFERENT SIZE. THE FRONTS WILL NOT WORK AT ALL. THE 300ZX HAS AN UPPER AND LOWER BALL JOINT WHERE THE 240 DOES NOT. THE BRAKES ARE A GOOD CHANGE OVER THOUGH. FIND THE S-14 SWAP AND USE IT FOR THE 5 LUG CHANGE OVER.

Roy, if you could do us all a favor and please use proper grammer and punctuation instead of all caps, it would make the entire post much easier to read. Thanks.
