AZ Polyurethane Subframe Risers, Ikeya Formula Inner Tie Rods S13/S14 - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Energy Suspension subframe bushings chopped for 10mm roll center correction. More forgiving than solid subframe risers while still giving suspension correction but still pretty solid. Fits s13 or s14. Never installed.

Here's a pic of a set I did for a friends car. Clears everything just fine. $70 shipped

Ikeya Formula inner tie rods are brand new. Adjusts 1" longer (or shorter if you wanted) than stock s14. Come with 7mm angle spacers.
$140 shipped - SOLD

Good idea I thought about doing this when I installed my ES subframe bushings in. Just dont think ill ever take them back out again to do this...

The only difference between the s13 and s14 OEM subframe bushings is the s14 has these metal pieces you have to cut slits into to remove. The s13 does not have these metal pieces.... just a bunch of rubber that needs to be removed with a wire wheel and torch.

Once you remove the rubber and/or metal pieces from the subframe bushings outer shell they both look exactly the same. There is no collar... unless you mean the piece of metal that needs removal...
All that should be left is the outer shell of the OEM bushing. I can take pics of a s14 subframe I did this to if you'd like. I have these same chopped ES bushings in black that I'm going to install on it.

BTW the car pictured is an s13.

edit: Credit goes to CodyAce since I believe he was the one to originally do this.

S13s have those tabs/outer shell you mention.... except they aren't tabs on the s13 ... it's a solid piece because you don't need cut slits into it to remove the inner piece of metal like on the s14.

Also there is no s13 part number for these ES subframe bushings.... it's listed as an s14 only number but will fit in either subframe... only difference is the removal of bushing material. This has been discussed.
