Does anyone know which SPL Pro Suspension parts are compatible with the Skyline ER34?

http://www.splparts.com/

I've called and email SPL over the pass 3 months. The rep told me he would contact the Australian distributor but never got back with me. I've also contacted other SPL vendors with no luck. Google isn't turning up any results either.

How does that translate to the Silvia or Z32?

SPL parts only manufacture bits for USDM vehicles. If I figure out the complete compatibility list then I could purchase replacements for my stock components.

BTW, they at least told me that these parts fit the R32

"The following items will fit the Skyline R32 GTR:

S13 rear upper arms

S13 rear hicas eliminator (available but not advertised yet)

S13 traction rods

S13 rear subframe bushings or rear subframe conversion bushings

S14 rear diff bushings

S13 front tension rodsZ32 front tie rod ends w/ Z32/Z33 inner tie rods"

thats right.

you can get justjap adjustible arms or go the jap brands such as cusco and ikeya.

for local shit like whiteline & superpro, you can only get bushes but they only give very little adjustment +/- 0.5 degrees.

I'm very doubtful that I'll purchase Jap suspension bits. IMHO, most of the Jap suspension manufactures don't make components that are any better than lower priced bits from Oz or the states. SPL parts are Titanium with solid bushings. Which Aussie companies do you recommend? I'm interested in White Line but I don't know anything about them.

Lucky I found this thread!

We are the sole authorised distributor for SPL Pro Suspension Parts in Australia. Our prices are what I would call 'aggressive' - it will NOT cost you any more to buy from us than it would to buy directly from the USA.

I have not heard from the USA guys regarding your enquiry, so I will PM you now.

Please note we are also a distributor for SuperPro and Whiteline so we can help you with anything else you may require.

Keep in mind front adjustable camber arms are sometimes made for people to set their cars up aggressively (i.e race cars, lots of neg camber), if you are looking to put more positive camber in the front the SuperPro poly adjustable bushes work very well (I should certainly hope so anyway, we helped R&D the damn things! :P)

Read and replied. You basically confirmed with Dori34 mentioned above, thanks Pete.

I do plan on tracking my R34 and I want to ensure I have the more adjustable suspension bits. SuperPro have poly bushings? I prefer to keep the suspension bushing consistent (i.e. all solid, all polly, etc).

Yes, SuperPro does all Polyurethane bushes. We sell lots of them and we all use them in our cars here at work. Very good product :)

Thanks mate but ATM I'm interested in SPL bits and finding R34 bits that have solid bushings to compensate the components that SPL doesn't manufacture for the R34.

    • Damn it, I was at work last night, and stayed in a room there during the storm with the car outside, but undercover, I just went downstairs and well....there was a large steel locker that has come from some place last night, it wasn't anywhere I could see yesterday, and yeap, it landed on the fraking car....of course it did..... LOL So, I'll need to take it back for paint and panel, luckily it was only the boot that took the hit, so it could have been worse Serves me right for staying at work and getting on the cans with some of the boys
    • Yeah, really happy with how it all turned out As for aftermarket lip, nah, I'm not really a fan for practically reasons on a street car that gets driven everywhere  I did have the full lower kit on my 2015 STI, but found the front lip scrapped alot, even at stock 4x4ish ride height As the NC sits now, with the lowest point of the car at 110mm, so just legal, some steep driveways and steep speed humps will still "just" scrap those little plastic OEM air dam thingies on the undertray just before the front wheels
    • Here's one I help build and tuned a decade ago, Garrett  GTX3071R Gen 1, T3 twin scroll 0.83 rear housing. Went from larger 272 cams down to smaller Tomei Poncams to help with the low end. S13 non VCT motor. Car was purpose built for the track, hence low down was the focus. Note the actual dyno chart shows lower boost, however the EBC and boost gauge showed 1.9Bar (Ignore the torque, I was young and didn't know how to set derived torque)  
    • 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.
