R33 Rear Subframe Interchangeability?

[A14Force]

Can any one tell me which other models of the "drift family" nissans will interchange with the rear subframe in an R33?

Good ol' Nissan is a lot like lego with the way parts can be chopped and changed. ButI'ma bit new to the finer points when it comes to thingslike that.

Your advice is greatly appreciated.

Pretty much all of them.

Sweetbix.

So I can slam an R32 non hicas rear end under an R33?

I scored a non nicas from a povo pack r32 a while ago, I was saving it for an A31 I scored for free. But I think the 33 coupe will be a better fit with what i'm wanting to do with the car.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I was under the impression that r33 rear subframe is better geometry wise? Has a bit more rear squat than 32 so it gets better grip

And that you need offset bushes to mount 32/s13 rear subframe on r33/34/s14/15 and vice versa?

there is a difference in the angle of the LCA mounts between 32 vs 33/34 but they are still interchangeable.

some of the subframes have different mounting distance on the car, there are offset subframe bushes to deal with this issue; but I don't know which ones have which.

some models have hicas, some have none (standard control arm with bushes instead)

2wd have different spacing to 4wd from the floor to the subframe but again they are interchangeable

some have wider track than others, eg w34 is narrower than r33

but overall they are surprisingly similar. lots of other rwd nissans from the same era too like GF50 cima.

Cool thanks guys.

Looks like I'll have to have a measure up.

I sold a car to a young guy tonight who thinks they have a 33 non hicas rear frame at his work.
