on the weekend i went drifitng and managed to do the front LHS (passenger side) lower control arm/sway bar and also the stabilizer arm (i brok eem right off). Went to the local import halfcut place and found out these were the same identical to the r32 gtst ones and got em for 300 bux.

I also noticed teh tie rods were also teh same size as well.

Hahahahaha! I didnt find that funny until you quoted it! HAHAH! Classic, made my day!

yeah what meggala said, they are the same. You should find most of your ceffy suspension stuff will come from the s13.

Hahahahaha!  I didnt find that funny until you quoted it!  HAHAH!  Classic, made my day!

hahaha.. yeah was funny till i coulnt counter steer in time (lack of damn power steering didnt return the steering wheel in time) and my car landed on the kerb. :skull:

The undercover copper was right there when i drifted around the bend. He saw the whole thing. HAHAHA

CC rocks around the corner behind me to find the car on the kerb.

Told him it was a "mechanical failure" that i somehow managed to go sidewayz around the bend at 70km/h in peak traffic and land on the bend. Still he was a top bloke thou let us go. Heck he had no proof anywayz.

Lol ceffo -

you have a bad memory :tool:

He suggested that "noone else was involved, no property damaged, if you can get it towed I dont have to call highway patrol."

He was a top bloke and had PLENTY of proof. ie. copper being a witness is as good as 5 witnesses.

You're just downplaying how lucky you was.. if it had been me I would have been getting butt****ed right now. :whip:

Either way I'm glad it ended how it did now we can live another day and-

bahahaham funny stuff.

A fair few months back we went drifting in an industrial estate in brissie. We had been hitting this truck turn around (hairpin) all night. I got a tad ****y, came out of it and kept trying to go from side to side up the street, ended up in a ditch on the side of the road.

Cops came and i said, my car broke down and i forgot to put my handbrake on and it rolled down the hill. He tried the "you can tell me mate, i am a car enthusiast as well, except i like v8's" I kept to my word and we got our names recorded and I was left to feel sorry for myself in peace!!!!!

Funny stuff!!! But my poor lil onevia need a bit of cosmetic work after that! lol, still needs some

bumping this, saw a post above saying s13 and r32 tie rod ends are the same. can anyone confirm this?

[RBC33]

Pretty sure s13/r32 are 12mm thread and s14 onwards are 14mm thread... so yeah pretty sure s13 and 32 are the same

[Dan_J]

^ i believe the r32 rods are shorter

[R32FREAKK]

lol ok mine are definitely bigger then m12, my m12 die wont fit over the rack end. um ill measure mine in a bit see how long they are.

[Dan_J]

my ceffy rods are m14.... thought it was stock until i saw this thread

[esky_mad]

Copied & Paste this from NS.com

s13 tierods are 12mm, and the shortest of the lot

s14 tie rods are 14mm and are slightly longer, but can be used in s13 but are around 10(ish) mm longer
s15 tierods are 12mm and are longer than s14 for some reason, tried them in a s13 but had monster toe in.
r32 have both 12mm and 14mm tierods, so you need to check before you buy, and SHOULD be the same length as s13

Surprised know one has actually stated that Cefiro's only use M14. Unless you are using an S13 rack of course.
