R34 Gtt Sub-frame Swap To Gt Non-hicas Sub-frame?

[lowbro]

Hi All,

I am looking to purchase an R34 non-hicas rear cradle to replace my current R34 GTT one

a. to completely remove hicas

b. i want to replace cradle bushes and rear diff bushes anyway, my mechanical locker diff is really getting a lot of movement from the subframe

Questions?

Has anyone done this and/or can offer all the advise on the below?

R34 GTT Rear Suspension - front/rear upper control arms, A-Arm and toe rods/hicas unit

R34 GT Rear suspension -front/rear upper control arms, A-Arm and lower control arm and is that it, or is there another steering component here?

Can I just use my GTT hub connector assembly for all the non-hicas arms to connect to the sub-frame, or do I need to change and use the non-hicas hub parts to connect the arms to the GTT hub etc.

I know I could just get the hicas eliminator kit from the UK, drop the sub-frame and do the bushes, but thought I could re-new a sub-frame and get it ready to just swap out and eliminate hicas altogether, happy days ; )

Cheers

You dont need a "kit from the UK" just a lock bar that suits the 34. Lot of local sellers have these. SUPPORT THE LOCAL INDUSTRY!

Then just use the pineapples. Lot cheaper, and remember the subframe of the GTT is to suit the GTT. Why complicate things?

I agree with not over complicating things, but the lock bar is what everyone does to eliminate HICAS, and I would like to remove HICAS altogether. The rear toe arm bushes/tie rods need replacing and these are not cheap OEM parts and there are no aftermarket replacements, which is a real shame.

I also wanted to renew the subframe, sandblast, repaint and install, it's my daily so don't have time to warrant all that work ; (

+1 for the cheap option though!

Get the Cusco drag rod kit. Seriously don't stuff around with a new cradle. The electronic HICAS makes it literally two plugs to unclip and ziptie up under the car.

Speak to Jesse Streeter (www.jessestreeter.com) to get some air freighted over. So much cheaper than you would expect and I run them on my car. Can't recommend the product enough.

Hmmm, with the AUD $ so good atm, that might work out to be very cost effective.

Email sent to Jesse await response!
