Is there a thread around with compatible parts for the s13, I read allot of good threads with parts compatible with the sr20det, (zerothread?id=59345) was hoping i could find the same for other parts besides the motor. Anything that will fit the interior from other cars? suspension, driveline etc.

These modifications are too complex to explain in a single post/thread, and they each have their own thread somewhere on the forums. Most, if not all, are covered in the tech pages too.

There are hundreds of things that can be made to fit. So it's not an exact list.

Such as you listed Z33 seats, they aren't a direct bolt in, custom work has to be done.

With enough work/time/money anything can be made to fit.

Oh, and it looks like you have an S14, why you asking about S13 stuff?

Well what do you need? Are you looking to go 5 lug? Are you looking for a vlsd? Think about what you need/want then search for it to see if there is a compatible part from another chassis.

I'm using manual seat belts from a Sentra, I just took the clicker from an s13 at the yard and walked around with it until I found seat belts that worked. If there is an s13 at the yard you go to just bring little parts to it and see if they work.

Q45 door handles are chrome and are the exact same as S14 door handles. Oh, they're the ones on the inside of the door. Just a little thing that some S14 guys like to do.

why would you think i have an s14?

im mainly looking for seats and q45 brakes, but i'd take anything i could get. im in no hurry to get the car goin. i figured there was already a topic on upgrades from other cars that i couldn't find. obviously there's not. ill just see what i can dig upthanks

this would actually be a cool thread.

theres a thread just like this on a vw forum i go to and it consists of all parts that are compatible with vw's. It includes parts from all makes and models. Its neat if you ask me.

Maybe if the op presented it better we'd be a little more incouraged to make this work. eh oh well.

I apparently was drunk and saw '95' instead of '92'. But that door handle thread is about Q45 handles going into S14.

Oh and S14, S15, or even some skyline seats would be less work than the Z33 probably. Especially with S14/S15 being direct bolt in.
