Radius Rod Mounts

[adrnln]

Hi all

Are the radius rod mounts, mount that bolts to the radiator support braket then to the k frame where the caster arms bolt into.

Are they the same as anything else - S13?????

[Nic_A31]

They bolt to the radiator support and to the lower control arm (which is directly linked to the k-frame). They are interchangeable with S13.

Nolathane make bushes for A31 Cefiro if that makes life easier for replacing bushes

Wicked I knew thier would be a interechangeable one.

I rang a few places and they said that you can only use Cefiro ones.

Cool I have a few things I'm looking at doing set up wise to increase my suspension and steering capabilities.

And I will be looking at getting those bushed from Nolathane soon trying replace them all.

Tip:

If you're in doubt about Cefiro parts, check here with us / sticky threads....don't call a shop...every single shop has a different answer and none know what a Cefiro is

[esky_mad]

if your talking about the castor rod bracket which it sounds like you are (pic added)

then these are A31 specific so the shops you rang were correct. i think nic means the caster rods themselves? which are the same as S13 but defnitely not the bracket itself.

[Nic_A31]

I thought even they were S13 interchangeable ?

My bad

[esky_mad]

unfortunately no, one of the few parts that are Cefiro specific, ive got a pair in my garage but their to hard to get hold of so im keeping them...

I have S13 brackets in mine.. but I had to do some welding to fit them.

[adrnln]

Oohhhh !!!

Yea this place is pretty much my bible when it come to my ceffy especially as ceffy sightings are pretty rare being only 2.5 of them in Darwin now.

Danshirts; what did you have the weld??

So I suppose next question who's got some??

[Dan_J]

^yea dan we need pics.

[DanShirts]

There isn't any magic to it.. I just welded some metal on the ends. It's pretty thick metal, 8-10mm.

I drilled a hole in the right one (left in the pic) for the radiator support. My left rad support is broken off, so I didn't drill a hole for it.

You can't see it, but I also welded a bar between them. Like the Nismo ones.

I'm not in Au, so I don't know... but I bet this will get you defected.

i see, so they bolt up the same as the cefiro ones but just come up too short. well thats sorted u can use s13 castor brackets if u weld a plate on to lengthen them.then just drill a hole for the front rad support bolts

gud stuff

[huddy]

i posted up in the cefiro parts thingo thread ages ago... cefiro specific. i tried r33, r32, s13, wgnc34, s14 and none work. between all of them SOME would line up and the rad support side... but then too short... others were opposite.... so they do differ throughout the range...

[adrnln]

For a car that got so many interchange able parts its a wonder why they would make one part different to all other models?? Japs we'll never really understand some of their logic.

[Dan_J]

no its because the ceffy engine bay is a bit more longer( same as a r32 i assume but the front sus of a r32 is different ) then a s13

[adrnln]

Yea its just funny how they make some parts the same and like these make them all completely different.

Like the rear cradles S13, R32 A31 all the same (hicas and non hicas of course)
