Got any suggestions? My car is a Z32. Stuff that works for S13's and S14's should be applicable.

your Z32 is a lot heavier than an S13 or S14, so you'll need some stiffer springs than i would in my S13 to get the same results. as far as LSD goes, get a helical or clutch type, in a 1.5 or 2 way setting. i prefer the KAAZ unit because, for the S13 at least, it's adjustable between a 1 way, 1.5 way, and a 2 way. as far as suspension goes, you should learn on a stock suspension, and buy parts as you learn. things to buy are: strut tower bars, sway bars, control arms, tie rods, rear toe arms, adnd coilovers. of course, not all of this is needed to drift. as far as spring rates go on your coilovers, i'd go as stiff as possible. if the car is a daily driver tho, you might want to go a little softer. i plan on getting rates of 8kg for the front and 6kg for the rear. my car is also a daily driver. you might want to stick with those rates if your car is too. you also dont necessarily need that stiff of springs. what is needed most for drifting is excellent car control. everything else just helps. and i hope this answered some things for you.
