Swapping JDM s14 Subframe in S13 help

[MIKE-240sx]

just like title says. i wanna know if this is possible.. ive picked up a jdm s14 subframe from a kouki and i wanna know how and if it is possible to swap into my s13 hatch..

I'm pretty sure it won't work. I know there are adapters that you have to use when using a R33 subframe in a R32 and a R33/S14 subframe are the same and R32/S13 are the same. I have no idea where to get the adapters.

from what ive read it would work. just a bitch to put in! someone who has done this please speak up and let me know what you did

Why do you want to put a s14 subframe on a s13 in the first place??
why not z32?
what is wrong with your stock s13 subframe?

its just the mounting points from the chassis to the subframe are a bit off center. Running a s14/s15 subframe is pretty beneficial for the multi link because it provides better mounting points for them when you have a lowered

so with the mounting points being different do i HAVE to buy those adapters or can regular stock bushings do the trick.

The subframe is wider. There's a shit ton of info on it, you need offset bushings or you can remove the bushings completely and solid mount it. That's the janky way, but is a 240SX, wouldn't be the first janky thing someone's done.

Plenty of threads on this.

Like Russ said, you need offset bushings.

There's plenty of advantages to having an S14/S15 subframe on an S13.
