The downside is the F20's Timing Chain Tensioner. It craps out quite a bit. Sounds like a card in spokes. The only good news is that it's replaceable in about 20min.

I'm using aS13 rear end on my 96 hatch. No narrowing involved. LSD and 4.08 gears. I got the whole thing carriage and all off egay for $400. The bolt pattern is 4x114 so if you already have wheels with uni 4 lug pattern they will still work . Thread pitch is different but that's minor.

Can you make a build thread for yours? I'm sure we'd like to see.

Cool... I paid $250 for my 93 240sx rear w/o lsd. Going into my 93 coupe most likely... if I ever get the proper motivation and a bank account with more than $400 in it (while working 30+ hours a week and full time student mind you). I won't be shortening either, probably going widebooty.

I'll start a build thread once I get to actually cutting and fabbing should be in the next week or so . Thanks for your interests.
