R32 vs Z32 suspension.

[lonelydrifter]

Hey guys I have been searching and think some of the suspension components from the Z32 may crossover to the R32 GTR but have been unable to verify.

Does anyone have a list of compatable components?

Thanks in advance!

rears coilovers are the same as z32.

front coilovers are different than r32 gtr b/c r32 fronts are fork type... r32 gts-t is the same as z32 front

[lonelydrifter]

Anyone know about the links?

[C-unit]

R32 GTR front is not fork type.

z32 rear = R32 GTR rear
z32 front = R32 GTS-t front.

however, front GTR/GTS-T/z32 coilover are interchangeable.

Also, Z32 coils are slightly shorter than R23 GTR rear.

So as far as front links for a R32 GTR I have no crossover parts and must order R32 GTR parts...?

I need a tension rod.

Damn...

[Chrischeezer]

Front lower control arms are GTR specific, (**2 ball joints on each arm)
they get used heavily because of geometry of the front end.
Front tension rods are GTR specific .

Tie rod parts are the same for after market, OEM has different part numbers.
Front upper control arms, and 300zx are exactly the same.
Rear suspension components are basically S13/Z32-chassis minus the shock, (but it would still work)
Rear wheel bearings are NOT the same (r34 gtr is equiped with the same bearing)
Front wheel bearing is same size BUT the GTR one came with extra seals, not sure if the 300zx does.
HICAS eliminator bars are the same.**
R32 diff is R200 but will not bolt up due to a larger spine count of input shafts.
Sway bar links are the same in the rear.



**= highly recommend

and just a note,
RHD japan has the best price for all 4 front ball joints and they ship very fast. 290shipped if i remember correctly.

^ how positive are you on the GTR rear bearings? R32, S13, z32 all shares a different part #. S13 one for sure won't work on gtr hubs because the ID of the bearings are slightly smaller.

Sorry about that.. absolutely correct.
the GTR rear wheel bearings are specific to the 32/34 GTR.

I believe the TT z32 works but not 100%.

03-06 honda accord front sway bar end links should work. I'll grab a pair from work and test em out.

Exactly what I was looking for. I love when the search button works. I have a massive hard-on for SPL suspension parts and I know they don't make anything specifically for the R32 but looks like I can snag some S13/Z32 stuff for my GTR.

Any update on this?

[Chrischeezer]

Yeah they work, their facing different ways when you compare them back to back with the stokers, but they do work just fine.

I recieved the following message from SPL. They broke it down nicely:

"Hi,

Yes we have had customers who have purchased our products for the R32 GTR. The rear suspension is almost the same for all S13-S15, Z32 and R32-R34, with some minor differences from chassis to chassis. The Z32 rear control arms are the same as the S13 and R32. The main difference on the rear suspension is just the subframe bushings -- S13 and R32 subframe bushings are the same but Z32 is different; R32 and Z32 have diff bushings but S13 does not.

On the front suspension, the R32 is similar to the z32. But our S13 tension rods are the same as the Z32 tension rods, hence for tension rods S13=Z32=R32. But for the tie rod ends you will need the Z32 ones"
