    350z diff into a s13??

    I am building a s13 drift car.
    I bought the car as a rolling shell. I am putting a Saab turbo engine in it and a BMW E36 M3 gearbox.
    Now using the BMW box with the s13 diff means the car will max out around 100mph which is not ideal so I am thinking of using a 350z auto diff.
    From what I can gather from the net the 350z diff will fit into a s14 subframe and the shafts will also work
    If I can solid mount the 350 diff into the s13 subframe will the shafts work?? I have a 5 stud converted hubs

    You can buy conversion bushes for the 350Z into the S14 subframe, but I don’t personally know of any solution for the S13 subframe.

    Forgive me but why not just buy an S14 subframe and convert the car?

    It's just cheaper if I can make it fit and and I have already blasted the s13 subframe.

    If the s13 and s14 shafts are the same I can't see why it won't work

    I’m sorry bud, I don’t know anymore to be of help.

    But given how cheap S14 frames are, at least you have a back up option.

    Had a look today and it seems the s13 shafts are shorter by 9mm
    So it might not be an option to use the s13 subframe ��

    Will all s13 arms fit on to a s14 subframe?

    s14 lower arms don't fit s13 subframes.

    tbh the s14 subframe has better anti squat properties than the s13 so I would just sell your s13 stuff and fit s14

    They don’t. It’s 350z / S14 and not S13.
