I don't see what the big deal about stickying this is. Maybe you guys really just like making me copy and paste this a couple times a week. I gonna start keeping track of how many times I post this in my sig....I'll start at like 17 cause I think it's been that many already.

Parts you can use:

Front:S14 hubs + spindle + control arm + ball jointPlug and play aftermarket conversion

Rear:S14N/A Z32 (TT has too many splines)R32 GST-SAftermarket Conversions

Front Axle Nut: 30mm (1 3/16")Rear Axle Nut: 36mm (1 3/8")Cotter pins: (2x) 3/16 x 1-3/4 for the rear, I don't remember the front it was a while ago, probably the same?

For the front, if you're using a conversion you just pop off the hub cap. Remove the cotter pin, and undo the axle nut. Slide off slide on.

For the rear you need to disconnect the upright. S13 balljoints are pressed into the LCA, so you're better off taking the LCA out attached to the spindle.

I believe all the bolts on the rear multilink are 19mm. The stabilizer bar connects to the LCA by a 12mm nut. The bolts that hold the hub into the knuckle are either 19mm or 17mm (thinking 17mm). Oh and of course you have to take the calipers off (19mm bolts).
