I'm on my way to the UK for a couple of weeks and can get my hands on some cheap 200SX/S13 stuff, and I understand that most of it is meant to be interchangeable with A31. With that in mind, here are a couple of q's for you guys with fully modified suspension setups.....

1 - Does anyone know if the [front] anti-rollbar drop-link bushes from a 200SX S13 will fit the A31 Cefiro? It seems like I'm getting a bit of movement in the link due to worn bushes, and I just found some decent S13 uprated items... Does anyone know if they would/should fit the A31?

2 - I found aluminium subframe bushes listed, and noticed that one of my rubber bushes was well-worn. Has anyone installed any aluminium or polyeurothane items like these listed, and if so - what kind of effect have they had on the handling of the car?

3 - The camber on my car seems to be uneven so I need to adjust the settings, but my suspension is totally stock apart from a set of coilovers. Is an adjustable camber arm the only way to be able to modify the camber or is there another way to fix this?

Note: My cefiro is not for drifting - its an everyday-use fast street-car.

Comments, guidelines and advice about suspension setup please.... Any pics of installations would be welcome too...

1. u should beable to get just the bushes for those endlinks (in polyurethane)............would be cheaper ......

2. for a street car ...maybe use the polyurethane subframe bushes

3. maybe use polyurethane camber kits with off centred crush tubes like they sell at whiteline...as that part with the ball thing which i cant think of it name at themoment is hard to maintain and will wear quickly on a street car.

What he said. If its a street car you want a little give, and you dont want to be rebuilding everything all the time.

Cool - thanks for the replies guys....

I already replaced the drop-links and solved the wobbliness that I was feeling at the front, although I'm still feeling a few bumps and hearing a few clunks from the front....

I lifted the car up a couple of cm all around and I've actually noticed a big difference too... before it was WAY TOO LOW

Still got a bit of a shopping list of S13 parts that I'll be picking up when I go to the UK in a few weeks ;)

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
