S13+R32?

[NissanS13RB26dett]

Hey I already posted this in the 240sx tech forum but I thought I would put it here too. I was wondering if everything from a R32 Skyline would fit on an USDM S13 I already have the right hand swap done and I have a RB26DETT waiting to be built but I wanted to know if I Could order some other parts of a R32 and put them on? I also have the common 300zx brake swap done to it but any info. would be nice.

Are you referring to body parts, engine parts, suspension parts?

Engine parts, as long as you have the RB26DETT bolted in, which is no easy task to get up and running, then of course.

Body parts, I think you can do it, but they don't line up very well. There is one member here on NICO that has an S13 with an R32 front. It doesn't look bad, but it doesn't look like it was ment to have those parts on it either.

Suspension, the front suspension is different, in terms of the strutts. The rear has the same bolt pattern, but the stroke on an S chassis is a little bit longer. You have to use some helper springs on the coilovers to aid in the rear if you use Skyline suspension.

Well the only reason that I was asking is because I have and S13 coupe in my garage and the RB26DETT but I want the double wishbone suspension but I was also considering doing the all-wheel drive set up to but I don't want to spend alot of money on stuff that isn't going to work. Do you know what parts I could use off the R32 or do you think it would be best to just order aftermarket? Thanks for the info./help.

Look at full races web site, they actually sell a GTR/AWD conversion for the s-chassis vehicles.

Here is the page for it, they used to install them there, it now looks like they will be selling it as a kit only and you install yourself.

Thanks for the help I really needed it, i'll make aure to put up pics as soon as I am done with my coupe. I think I will be going with the AWD setup it weighs a little bit more but yey more traction! What do you drive?
