Hey guys, I dont know how much you are going to know about this or not, but Im here in japan and I want to pick up as many parts for a s13/s14 240 as I can before I go back. Do you guys know#1 Are the suspension setups the same on the silvia/180 and the 240? I want to buy nice coilover suspension here because Im sure it will be nicer and cheaper.

#2 Im also wanting to buy a decent LSD and I have NO idea if the drivetrains are the same, considering the engines are different.

#3 Clutches, again the drivetrain question.

And of course anything else you guys can think of that I can pick up that are similar, besides the obvious.

Thanks, you guys rock :ylsuper

as for the lsd the only thing that matters is does your car already have a vlsd...if so you need to buy a lsd that states for cars with vlsd..kaaz has one for 240's with vlsd and without the oem lsd. the only differnce is the output shafts. if im not mistaken...as for clutches the only thing is you cannot use a clutch for an sr transmission on a ka transmission. other than the s15 6 speed all sr manual trannys are the same and all ka24de/e trannys are the same. i believe that the only difference between clutches for the sr and ka are the flywheel and pressure plate...because nissan uses the same spline pattern for all their cars on the input shaft and friction plate. i used a 240z clutch alignment tool for my clutch..
