Wow your gonna get flamed. But You can use the diff its a NA model, but you need an axle from a Q45. Just search for that. You can use the rear spindles, hubs, backing plates and brakes. As for the front you can use the brakes, the hubs wont work.

As far as suspension, meh I think you can use the RUCAS and toe arms, but why?

But you have everything you need for a 300ZX brake swap, and rear 5 lug. To go 5 lug upfront you need conversion hubs, or S13 lower control arms with S14 lower ball joints presses into them or S14 lower control arms, S14 spindles, S14 hubs, and a bolt bushing because the bolt holes for the shock in the S14 spindle are larger then the S13 holes.

Do the brakes, and 5 lug, you will be happy. Make sure to use the Z32 master cylinder, and your gonna need conversion brake lines. Your in columbus, I am there often (montly) Its not that hard, You just need a day to do it.
