..and don't know what to do with it besides the LSD. Can I use any other parts?

Oh no HICAS! You cant do much with it, besides use it for rear brake upgrade.

I know you can use the entire rear knuckle for a 5 lug conversion on a non-HICAS J30, not entirely sure if the toe arms will bolt up with the HICAS rear knuckle.

From the pic it looks like they are at least similar, so maybe the knuckle would swap over.

I never intended to use the knuckles but I do like how great the bushings look compared to my S13 subframe setup. I also need new lower control arms on my S13 so I'm off to see if these are an option.

Well, the sun has gone down and I'm so tired but, it seems that minus the Hicas, the J30 subframe is a direct bolt onto my S13. I will update with pictures tommorow and hopefully have it installed.

If it weren't for the thicker ball joints on the J30, the lca would have been a direct bolt on for my Z32 uprights

Just to let it be known, a J30 subframe does not fit an S13. It's a lil' too wide. I'm guessing it'll fit a Z32.
