not willing to part it up but if interested in the whole thing then make an offer

Still looking, preferrably an s14 or s15 subframe. Will settle for a MINT s13.

any s-chassis subframe will fit.

It’s just the amount of fab you’ll have to do to make it pretty.

I say either just swap for a clean S13 SF or just buy a new chassis and swap the motor.

I know it has gone through your mind.

Think about it…you swap to an s14/s15 SF and after all that money and time spent on it you still have a shitty chassis/body.

It would be a better investment to just swap the motor into a clean car.

Just my $0.02

The reason why i’d prefer an s14/s15 subframe over an s13 is because:

a) it’s newer so less kilometers have been through it  
b) the stance from an s14/s15 is much more planted  
c) much more thought went into the newer s-chassis subframe by the minds at nissan resulting in:  
Stiffer - much more reinforcement.  
Antisquat - much less kickup on the LCA mounts. Makes the rear end more predictable. -taken from FA  
d) ???  
e) Profit

lol.

anyway, I will settle for a MINT s13 subframe.

chassis swapping will come later.

how much fabbing do you plan on doing??

The mounting locations for the s15 subframe are further apart than the s13 subframe, and the s14 ones are even further than the s15.

I seriously still need a subframe.

And because winter is coming up and I have no time to start making shit, I want a MINT s13 one.

No/very little rust.

honesty i do not no what the subframe looks like. but i will probably have
