Hi Ive been looking up information on all the suspension components for the Zx and cant find any solid info on all the parts... like what crosses over from what to what ex(s13-15,r32-34 front/rear knuckles, upper/lower control arms front rear etc...) Gk tech has those knuckles that I really want but before I get coils I want to make sure I get the right set up for everything.
So far I found this info on other threads that I would Like help on compiling so anyone has a quick guide to swap reference parts:
breakout_z32: The Z32 and the S13 240SX share adjustable suspension parts
Oh, and you can run R32 GT-R Rear knuckles without screwing with the suspension geometry, so that you can run a wider range of coilovers.
SuperHatch: The NA and TT knuckles are the same, where the NA knuckle has the bushing for the toe arm, the TT knuckle has a ball joint pressed it.
Future_gohan: An s14 differential is bolt in, but to use it you must use two passenger side axles(they're longer then the driver side), if not your driver side will snap.
leno: Coilovers out of an R32 GT-R will fit, however the front mounts may require a slight bit of trimming on certain brands. Front mounts on GT-R's are oval, whereas ours are circular. R32 GT-R's ONLY

Front lower control arms are GTR specific, (**2 ball joints on each arm)
they get used heavily because of geometry of the front end.
Front tension rods are GTR specific .
Tie rod parts are the same for after market, OEM has different part numbers.
Front upper control arms, and 300zx are exactly the same.
Rear suspension components are basically S13/Z32-chassis minus the shock, (but it would still work)
Rear wheel bearings are NOT the same (r34 gtr is equiped with the same bearing)
Front wheel bearing is same size BUT the GTR one came with extra seals, not sure if the 300zx does.
HICAS eliminator bars are the same.**
R32 diff is R200 but will not bolt up due to a larger spine count of input shafts.
Sway bar links are the same in the rear.
**= highly recommend
-message from SPL.:
"Hi,
Yes we have had customers who have purchased our products for the R32 GTR. The rear suspension is almost the same for all S13-S15, Z32 and R32-R34, with some minor differences from chassis to chassis. The Z32 rear control arms are the same as the S13 and R32. The main difference on the rear suspension is just the subframe bushings -- S13 and R32 subframe bushings are the same but Z32 is different; R32 and Z32 have diff bushings but S13 does not.
On the front suspension, the R32 is similar to the z32. But our S13 tension rods are the same as the Z32 tension rods, hence for tension rods S13=Z32=R32. But for the tie rod ends you will need the Z32 ones"
