As far as the VLSD and the uprights in the rear;
Its not needed, but the uprights save 7lbs per side, but require the shock to be from Z32 not S13.
VLSD will work out of NA not TT. But will need a 5bolt axles or 6bolt flanges AND S13 diff cover.
Again this is something nice to have, especially since you are going to be messing with it, might as well get the diff too.


Another thing is to remember that Z32 has drum ebrakes, so you want to make sure that you get all the parts from that.

I got the whole Z32 suspension (+TT wheels and NA VLSD) for 400. but your deal may not be as good as mine.

PS. Spacers for the front, i beleive something like 5mm. Thats what I been told, but I got some different wheels on the front, so I am not 100% on that.
Or you could get the Cobra wheels and be done.
HTH

More info:
S13/S14/S15/Q45/R32/R33/R34/Z32 lines will ALL work, the difference is S and Q lines use banjo fittings and require a shorter bolt to the caliper when upgrading to Z calipers. R and Z lines use IF fittings and come with a small section of hardline fitted to the caliper. Again, either one will work but if you don't have the OE hardline section or you plan to upgrade anyway to SS lines, get conversion lines. SPL is the best deal out there, cheaper than all other lines on the market, great quality, and include the strut fitting to secure the line properly. PDM lines do not come with that and you must rig up a way to hold them to the strut. Ghey for the amount of money they charge.
Also, the Z32 NA diff will bolt right in (swap cover on S13) but you'll need to switch to S13/S14 output shafts for it to fit properly, the Z's are longer due to the ABS sensors and combined with the OE axles it's too wide to fit without undue tension on the joints. There's slightly more clearance in an S14 due to the wider track but it's still not enough to reduce the load on the axles.
