R33 GTST Subframe Vs. S14 Subframe - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Ok so The R33 GTST rear subframe is a direct drop in for the S14. I have searched but could find any concrete answers.

1) When ordering replacement parts. Suchs as: CV boots, subframe mounts, diff mounts, etc. Can I order the parts from the S14? Or do I have to get the R33 GTST parts? I ask because the S14 parts are readily available where I am.

2)Is the final drive the same as the S14? I keep reading that it's 4.01 or 4.08 or something. I haven't found a clear answer. If it is different. How will it affect my car?

Everything same same for subframe and Rear Diff Bushings, Knuckle bushings are interchangeable as well. All of your arms are interchangeable as well as long as you are not trying to use HICAS shit on non HICAS shit or vice versa (Hicas has no toe rods).

The Diff is usually a 4.11 if it came from a manual gearbox car (Not a swap but factory manual). It is 4.3 if it comes from an automati..

I usually use universal stateside CV boots with good success over here because a Nissan CV boot over here is twice the price of the nicer, tad bit more flexible Universals from the states.

Hope this helps.

good info CursedGTR.

what's the advantage of using this subframe over stock?

atutt · 11-16-2008, 10:19 PM

^Nothing. It's just a direct drop in for S14's. And this in is in mint shape. Whereas my S14 subframe, axles, and VLSD are are beyond fucked. And I got the R33 stuff for a great price. So I went with that. Hopiung all the S14 parts will work.

Pardon me to resurrect this thread. I got good deal for whole rear subframe of R33 including big brakes.

I'm wondering if which is better, fit tthe whole subrame or just take the Differential with driveshaft??
