Stock S13 suspension interchangeable onto S14? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Before anything, yes, I've researched and haven't found anything in regards of S13 into S14 suspension. Just S14 5 lug conversion onto S13, S14 front coilovers fitting S13s, etc.

I currently have a nonrolling S14 chassis that I sold the suspension out of. (stupid mistake; but paid off the bills lol)

I managed to keep the FLCAs, 5 lug, and spindles off of the S14 to swap on over to my S13.

With that being said, I'm wondering if the stock struts/shocks/springs, FLCAs, and hubs off of my S13 would fit the S14? Just enough for it to roll.

In regards of the rear, I know the S13 and S14 are completely different with the struts/shocks/springs. But as my S14 does not have rear knuckles or hubs, would the stock S13 ones work?

Any input would be great guys. Thanks, just wanting to get the shell rolling for whoever might want to buy it.

Yeah they will all fit if you have s13. Spindle with the s13 hub
S13 lower control will fit too
everything will work expect the rear shocks
ANd your camber toe caster will be off the roof but can still be rollable

Awesome. Saves me time and money. Just leaves me with the search of the rear suspension then.

Yeah, I read due to the fact that the length of the LCAs is much shorter on the S13 compared to the S14, but yeah, like I mentioned it's just to roll it since it's a bare shell now. Thanks for the quick input.

Yeah it is awesome, except it is not true. I learned it the hard way, buying S14 rear arms for an S13 subframe... traction rods may fit. camber arm and RLCA wont.

Only the front springs/struts will work. Rears wont.

The mother of all thread revivals!!

I bought an s14 that came with an s13 subframe. Didn't know at the time but know now.

I bought a set of Stagg rear shocks and Nismo springs. Ride is stiff as hell at the back.

Any idea why? And maybe how to fix this?

TIA guys
