Other model Nissan suspension on G50

Looking for some help on this one. I've read/heard that suspension parts from other model Nissan's will fit on a G50. Can you guys help me list out what suspension parts fit, and what model nissan the parts came from? Looking for info on everything suspension, coilovers, tierods, control arms, bushings, everything.

Like for example, I think I read on one thread that someone used Z32 (300ZX?) suspension parts on their G50, but now I can't find the thread. I guess I suck at searching ...

I'm also guessing certain parts from S13/S14 will fit the G50 since it fits Y33's, but I'm not sure.

Plz help if you got da info. Mahalo!!

I know the 300zx suspension will fit with very slight modification. Not too sure about the s chasis suspension.

I have R32 GTR coilovers from Fortune Auto on my G50. They require the same mods as if there were from the Z32(300zx).

The advantage of using Z32 coilovers is because it is more common and affordable in the states. The reason I used R32 coilovers because no on has solid data of them installed on the G50 in the states and because the company had an awesome group buy at the time i couldn't pass up.

Same reason for the other S-chassis suspension arms. Common and affordable to add camber. Also, I don't believe you can install S13/S15/S15 coilovers on the G50.

forgot you can do R32 stuff also.

So this is mainly more for price, not like S13-Y33 stuff where you can get more camber sit lower.

That and because Y33 coilovers are not common in the states, shipping them from Japan you are already looking to spend over $1500. So piecing a S13 kit with all the bell's and whistle's is about the same price getting only coilovers from japan.

the g50 already has a good suspension design, but cats in japan run the z32/r32 setups as well (i assume) because they go lower.

all arms and bushings should be z32. z32 coilovers will work on a 90-93 with minor mods to the front upper mount holes and original rear upper mounts, 94-96 will also have to modify the front lower mount bushing.
