s14 running gear in an s13 chassis?

[joze56]

I recently bought a 1993 240sx hatch rolling body, less radiator, engine and trans.. I also bought a totaled 1995 240sx with the complete factory running gear. The 93 was AT and the 95 is 5spd. My question is: will all of the running gear from the 95 be a direct bolt up in the 93? I want to transfer all from the radiator to the differential. Thanks for all comments.

negative. enign and transmission will be good but AT/5speed shaft wont work gotta be a 5speed s13 shaft. differentials will have to swap covers/buy new gasket and dif fluid for it. and well when i did my swap i had to also buy new fluid for my blinkers/turn signals. so make sure you do that!

Thanks for the info.. Is the 95 5spd shaft too short or too long?

LMAO at the Blinker Fluid.

[joze56]

PO had already changed all blinker fluids, so I won't have that expense! I just don't know whether he used the 93 or 95 fluid?

Driveshaft, radiator, diff cover, and suspension items are what really vary. Are you using the S14 or S13 ecu and harness?

I want to use all that I can off the s14 coupe. If I have to get the s13 driveshaft, does it have to be from a hatch only body?
Thanks.

Hatch and coupe are the same. Just make not if you need ABS or not for the diff.

[joze56]

Neither the 93 or the 95 have ABS. So are you saying a driveshaft out of an s13 coupe or hatch will work, but the 95 driveshaft will not?

Yes
