I can't comment myself as I never driven that setup myself. I did own an S13 and have a AE now. One thing to consider is the approach people took to solve some of the issues when doing the swap. For instance did they just made the parts fit up front or done the calculations and maintained the proper geometry. Same goes for the rear axle and it's install height and suspension travel capabilities.

I'd need to refresh my own memory to help you out better but I think you get the idea.

Yeah no one in NZ has done it that I am aware of. I think you are right that the poor handling ones are likely hack jobs. I have seen very few front and rear conversions, mostly just front.

You might want to contact mcnsport in Ireland as they done it more than once and I'm pretty sure they'll give you some pointers... there's also a thread on driftworks maybe also here with pictures of a conversion (green subframe, blue chassis)
