I was wondering if someone or anyone can help me out.
Whats the difference between the S13 and s14 rear subframes? size/dimensions difference? mounting points difference? arms, brakes, bolts? I would like to find out all the details if possible.
Thanks!

Arm mounting point angles are different between the 2. IIRC S14 has better anti-squat to help with traction.

do you by chance know how the anti-squat works?

Read the suspension thread, and/or geometry articles on motoIQ.com for details on antisquat.
S13 and S14 subframe differerences: chassis mounting points, but you can use offset bushes to install an S14 in an S13, it is also a bit wider so with the same arms you go wider, and the front RLCA mouting point is lower, allowing less anti squat. But you wont get more traction from an S14 sub over anS13 one if you dont already own good tyres.

s14 is a little wider than the s13, they both are on the same sub frame as the skylines that are the same years, any spific questions

Im wondering if both were to sit on the ground, which would produce more camber?

i would think the s14 since it is a bit wider so the extra width would give more camber. I put s14 flca on an s13 to gain more camber as well

Rear is not like the front since all the suspension pickup points move the same 5mm outwards. So you only gain track width. I believe the camber gain curves are the same for s13 and s14.
