They're probably a very similar length. The reason I got them was coz the rods on the doner S13 I had were pretty shite.
Yep I have the S13 hubs on the front. When trying to use standard rods with them they had to be adjusted longer. But they're probably not safe as they're close to the end of the travel. However when i fitted the new rods they were about 1.5" too long.
I wouldn't worry about using S13 ones, try to get the S12 rod ends. The rods are only a few inches long, compared to like 9" or something for the S13 ones, so they're techincally stronger. Dunno why Nissan used short rod ends/long rods for the S13 compared to short rods/long ends for the S12
My above findings are on my Datsun which has a different rack and different track width to the S12, so you may find things a little bit different. I know some people have fitted S13 hubs over in Oz so try their site for more info with the rods.
