Welcome!
Where are you located, often there are closer sources for the Z32 that others in your area may know about and/or use.
Our best general sources for OEM and aftermarket replacement parts are Z1 motorsports, Concept Z Performance, and Specialty Z. Engine-specific has Import Parts Pro added, and maybe others in certain locations. Powertrix and Tein have competent suspension and other upgrade parts, while Wiring Specialties and others can help in those areas and many suppliers are available through Z1 and CZP at least.
Good Luck!

I live in Orlando Florida, I've bought parts from z1 before and thank you for the other options. What I really want to know is, what size of Pistons and what compression ratio is best, I like wiseco pistons. Im planning on using the factory rods.

if your in there, might as well do new rods. wiseco is a very popular and reputable brand as well, eagle rods are a great match to those as well. and if your rebuilding factory is 8.5:1 I believe the upgrade is 9:1, NA is 10.5:1 and I believe the upgrade to those are 11:1
