If you are referring to using the entire rear upright from a Z32, then you would likely need to upgrade to ride-height adjustable coilovers that have an adjustable lower mount. This would allow you to swap with the bottom piece for a Z32. This may not work with all systems either. I do know the Zeal B6 works this way. Personally, I'd probably just unbolt the hub and attach it to the existing upright and call it a day.

the FLT-A2 coilovers have that option too, IIRC. While I haven't had the chance to compare, but I've handled some Z32 rear struts, and they look exactly the same save for the shock mount. But until I have a Z32 and an S13 or an S14 rear strut side by side, I won't be able to tell you otherwise. Of course, this doesn't account for the difference in shock dampening
