ANY HELP IS GREATLY APPRECIATED!! I've been searching for an S15 front clip for a while and I finally found one. Now I'm working out the issues I have with swapping it into my S13 coupe body. I've heard that to do the swap successfully with both the 6-speed and the engine, you need the S15 gauge cluster and the stock S15 LSD, because the diff houses the speed sensor, or so I'm told. I'm stuck right now, and would appreciate any help at all, as long as it's not b.s. Thanks a bunch.

You'll need the S15 diff for the speed sensor and you'll need a converter box to change the signal going from the diff to the speedo. You can use your stock S13 speedo if you use a converter box. I just can't remember where to find one off the top of my head

After getting the S15 diff, what would I do if I wanted and aftermarket 2-way? How would everything work after that?
