GTR Rearend in S15

Has anyone done this? I have an S15 that I am swapping in an RB26DETT into and I also have an R32 rear end complete. My plan, not sure if it is doable, but I want to drop my S15 rear end and unbolt the S15 helical and axles and brakes and swap over the R32 setup using the S15 rear sub-frame. Is this possible, I am seeing that the S15 has four supports for the diff, two at the back and two to the front. I am going to be using a Mckinney Motorsports install kit for the RB26 and also a Mckinney one piece driveshaft. Is this a bolt-on or has someone done this and it was a straigth swap? Let me know as soon as as I have already dropped the S15 rear-end and I am currently stripping the backend to attempt this. Luckily this is not a daily .

My other option, not sure if it is possible but to use the R32 rear sub-frame and use the entire diff, axles and hub/brake setup and be able to use my S15 spindles and also use my S15 arms and whatnot? Let me know and sorry if it has been discussed because I have searched but most of the info is for S13 GTR rearend swaps.

The S14 and S15 should be almost the same, so people with S14s can chime in.

Not sure if this helps you or not but I am running an r33 rear end and axles in my s14, straight bolt on. I'd imaging what your trying to do is possible seeing how similar the cars are.

So you're running an R33 rear end as in complete sub frame with all components or just the diff and axle and brake setup with S14 running gear like arms and spindle? Also what suspension are you using in the back, S14 coilovers with the eyehole or skyline coilovers with the yolk bottom end?
