Heres the link to the site I found really helpful:

http://sillbeer.com/5lugswap.php

Perhaps something like a parts list and quick run-through could be put in the 240sx.org FAQ? That is, if there isnt already one and I just missed it...

BTW, the search not working is pissing me off too.

hmmm doesnt mention anything about using z32 parts for the front. i c if u use s14 front parts u have to get the s14 bushing pressed into the s13 lca...is it like that for a z32?

if you're doing it on an s13, you need s14 knuckles/spindles s14 se hubs. itll drop right on but you need the s14 ball joints pressed where the s13 ball joints are. the shock mounting bolts from s14 are bigger than s13. you'll need to redrill the s13 shock or get a spacer.

300zx front will not work.
