Speaking from experience, (which I am currently searching for some parts..) Here are some things to keep:

Power Steering cooler / linesRadiatorBrake MC / pedal assyClutch MC / pedal assyX-member (if you are using it)Power Steering rackthrottle cable

I'm sure there is more, just can't think of it off hand. Wait, is your S-13 SOHC or DOHC? If it is SOHC then scratch the PS lines, they won't fit. Those are the main things I could think of off-hand that I needed / used on my 25 swap. Somone (CarlH, etc.) please correct me if anything is wrong.

Also, what year is your S-13 and what year or chassis is the skyline you are receiving (R32 / R33?)

Good Luck!

The power-steering lines won't work. Try and keep just about anything you can because you can always get rid of them later
