S13 Subframe Into 32 Gts4

[sherman89]

Hello,

My car is a gts4 origionally.

I have read alot of conflicting info on this topic so i thought i would get it cleared up!

I want to put a non hicas s13 rear cradle into my car.

From what i read the subframe will bolt straight in yeah?

Will i need to change the rear cover thingo on my diff to bolt into the subframe?? 2 bolt -4bolt.

I will need to swap the bush thats currently on my rear knuckle that the arm from the hicas bar attatches too, to one so the toe rod will attatch too, where do i buy a new bush?

I think thats it for now, sorry for any stupid questions!!

Thanks alot!

It would appear that your ultimate intention is to get rid of HICAS. If that is the case, why not just fit a HICAS lock bar. I would think that would be a much simpler course of action.

I already have one of them. I want to do it the way mentioned above as i have a spare s13 cradle and want to do it this way!

complete s13 rear craddle would be easier but youd need new rear coils

I fitted one into my 32 gts-t so should be similar

Maybe, but you haven't had to find a decent set of rear coilovers that match the fronts recently...

Pressed the ball joint out on my knuckles before, cost nothing as i had them stripped already and only took 2 minutes. Bushes can be had from pretty much any auto parts supplier. I got mine through Autobarn and Auto One from memory.

Diff's are the same i think? Worst case if you have a 2 bolt rear cover currently you will need to swap that. The s13 is a 4 bolt.
