R33 Subframe in R32 GTS4/GTR problems

[Jim Boi]

Hello all, 

I picked up a R33 rear subframe for my R32 GTS4 and was going to fit it to obtain wider track, better anti squat etc. 

What is the best way to mount the frame? Fit the offset aluminium bushes from the top down or from the bottom up? If they are fitted from the top down I'd have to get some sort of spacer to make up the difference as the 'pegs' that the frame mounts over dont have enough thread. 

I'm concerned that it may alter the geometry negatively if its mounted flush to the chassis rails not only will it be hard to mount the ATesa pumps etc. 

Has anyone done this? Or is it worth just changing the bushes in the standard frame..

Just a follow up,

the lower arms are different slightly, and the ‘nose’ of the diff sits in another type of carrier - different to the gtr/gts4 cradle. I will make 16mm aluminium spacers to fit the rear cradle into the car which will sit under the offset bushes. 

Im yet to cross the hurdle of mounting the attessa pump and ancillary parts
