i ve seen one s13 coupe that had the z32 subframe in it and the wheels were noticeably wider. I'm just wondering what kind of modifications are needed.

um no. the z32 rear subframe will not fit into an s13.i tried it once when wanting to delete hicas and run z32 rear uprights.the subframe mounting points are an inch wider on each side.how do i know you ask???i ripped my subframe out and attemped to install the z32 joint in my car. unless you modify the bushings it's impossible to just "bolt it in"
