here is the reaspones:



Hi Luis, here's what I know about the compatibility of the s-chassis and R32:

The differences in front LCA's is the s13 front balljoint and balljoint taper and skyline r32/s14 balljoint tapers are different. Other than the s13 balljoint and it's taper, the LCA's for s13 and R32 are the same length, except the r32 arm instead shares the s14's balljoint and balljoint taper. The s13/r32 tension rod's are identical, but s14 tension rod's are longer. So it's a mix-up of all of these parts. The R33 skyline's are even easier, they have the same front LCA's and tension rods as the s14. I know now that S13 and R32 use the same front swaybar setups, the swaybar should bolt up to the LCA no problem. Now keeping the sway bar from being ground down like metal pushed into a bench grinder when my wheel's at full lock; that's another story. If these FLCA/Tens. rod's have better wheel clearance than oem LCA's and tension rods then they will be awesome for R32's

The rear LCA fitment is based off of the subframe the car is running. S13/R32 use narrower subframe side LCA mounts than S14/S15/R33 skyline. The Rear LCA's spacers must match the subframe they are mounting to.

Rear Traction rods should fit across most different models, but I think toe arms might change between years (probably still s13/r32 and s14/s15/r33).

S13/R32 rear strut bodies are 110mm shorter than S14/R33, S13/r32 rear top mounts have a narrower bolt pattern than s14/r33, the rear lower mounts are held on with a nut on s13/r32 and a bolt on s14/r33.


Thanks,
Nate
