R33 Gts25T Hicas Removal? Subframe Swap?

[Rb_power]

Hi I know this has probably been covered before but I'm a noob to the forums and am having trouble sifting through all the threads. I have a 1996 R33 gts25t ecr33 and want to remove my hicas but not just use a hicas lock bar as I require I cert for this and can get around this if I just swap the frames.

I need to know what sub frames are a straight swap with my car ?

Any help would be very appreciated thank you

Pretty sure s14 rear subframe is the go

I would second that. That is if you can't find a non-HICAS R33 one (which would be reasonably rare here in Oz, but possibly more common in NZ).

Cheers guys I had heard the s14 subframe fits just wanted a second opinion or two ill get searching.

Got another question. If I run a s14 subframe in the rear of my 33 will all my standard suspension and diff bolt straight up to it? except the toe arms as these are on the hicas unit ?.

a possible list of what parts I would need could be nice.

Thank you guys for your time.

All the rest bolts up. If you get a non-HICAS rear subframe, you will need to get hold of the non-HICAS toe rods also, and the correct bushes to replace the tie rod end receivers in the knuckle.

^ Thank you for your knowledge GTSBoy I have another question lol. I have found a r33 non hicas gts subframe but the guy is saying I will need to purchase different hubs as mine will not fit :S do you have any light to shed on this issue ?

[GTSBoy]

Use your hubs. When I put a (Cefiro) non-HICAS subframe into my R32, the only part that was changed was the subframe itself (and the toe arms obviously). All the rest was my original arms, hubs, etc.
