I am looking at purchasing some new suspension arms for the rear of my R33 GTR.

What is the difference between the following:

Cusco adjustable rear upper arm links: Part Number 220 474 G

and,

Cusco adjustable rear upper arms: Part Number 222 474 L

Can both these parts be used, or is it either one or the other?

I am also looking at some rear lower a-arms. I have been reading up on the Nismo ones, anyone here used them before?

Would it be worth getting the strenghened Nismo arms or the standard Nismo ones?

Nismo states that the strenghened arms have a added plate on the underside to provide more strength . . .

Thanks in advance for your feedback

for rear lower arms the nismo's are not that great as they are not adjustable. if you do get them and the strengthened ones are much more $$ you can easily get the standard ones and get a plate of 3mm steel welded yourself. if there is not much in cost between them then just buy the stronger ones.

for the cusco gear the upper control arms are the L part number. as best i can tell the G part number is for the traction rods and to do it properly you need both bits as the traction rods need to be adjusted once your car is lowered and you've adjusted camber.

the L part number is this:

and the G part is this:

the cusco gear is very nice and good value. From memory they don't do rear lower control arms though so if you need those I'd look at the ikeya ones. they are excellent.

    • I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.            
    • Awesome writeup and details. Thanks for sharing the story so far. I can relate to parts of it with my previous car and some of the issues I had to deal with.
    • Wow the colour matched hard top completely transforms the car. Are there any nice front lip options for the car or is that off the table?
    • Generally yes but for some reason I've been ruthless this time around!  I might even need to do another tip run after the way I've finally been able to hit the delete button on shit I've stepped over, stepped around and tripped over for the past 10 years!
