I just made my account here, as if that wasn't obvious. I'm hoping to receive some good information about the s-chassis as well as try and help others who need help.
I'm fairly new to Nissan, however I've always been a fan, this is my first Nissan and my favorite USDM model to date. (S13 Chassis Hatchback)
Do note though, I'm not new to cars, I've owned, tuned, modified and driven everything from a Ford Mustang to a MazdaSpeed6. Many fun cars don't ask me how I never got a hold of a Nissan until now but that's just how it happened, lol.
Just a quick question, I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction or answer directly via here or PM:
Anyone have an exact list of what OEM parts from other USDM models that fit with little or no modification in the S13 Chassis. (e.g. S14, Z31, Z32, Z33, Q45, etc) Anything from fuel injectors to lower control arms that are better than stock.
I've done some searching elsewhere but I never find a true list, usually just Z32 brake upgrades pop up. Don't have much time or patience tonight to search through these forums yet, but if need be I'll do that tomorrow.
Well thanks for reading and any answers or greetings I get. Doubt all of you will get this far into my long 1st post.

@ 1SXY240 - Thanks for the welcome, much appreciated!
@ Andrew727 - Thanks for the heads up, how about other car parts? I know a lot of DSM goes into Hondas, especially in turbo set ups if I were to make a KA-T or something, but if I were to do a Turbo setup I'd want some of the OEM JDM Turbo stuff, would always love an S15 Turbo but those are hard to come by at a good price, looks cheaper to just get an aftermarket GT28R or something.
@ anyone else who can input.
I've been looking at other parts like GXR1000 ITBs being mated with our intake manifold but due to size (43mm or something) not a LARGE increase in WHP/Torque ratings but they are there and for only $250-$300 15whp and torque sounds good to me, unless of course I wanted to actually do Turbo which I probably won't so that's as far as that goes.
I've also looked at possibly mating the KA24E bottom end with the KA24DE Head, Pistons, Rods, & whatever else I might be missing in that equations because of the supposed ~13:1 CR you can get for again a very cheap price.
Other things that come to mind is a welded diff, I understand the CONs of doing so but I think the PROs outway them.
A Z32 Transmission sounds good but I'm trying to tackle everything with OEM parts and that needs an adapter plate and stuff lol, I should probably suck up my pride and do it, I'll probably need to do that with suspension anyway, as I plan on already buying a full set of Aftermarket Bushings all the way around.
If anyone has any other ideas I could play with in my head I'd be happy to hear, and please flame any of my stupid ideas, I take flaming with open ears, just please explain why even if it is something as far as the cost to advantage doesn't weigh out.
