Front Suspension Upper Arm z33 versus z34.

Jason23 · 03-07-2012, 12:33 PM

Guys i was on courterynissans website browsing and decided to compare parts #s on the z33 and z34 it seems that certain components can be interchangeable on the new z34 cars. The front suspension arms (wishbone) has the same part #s LH and RH on the z33 and z34. Now it made me curious as the SPL front camber arms that is made for the z33 can be used for the Z34? Its likely that the SPL would fit....any thoughts???

I wish they would work. I am going to look into this a little more.

I do know that the method used for the upper control arm to connect to the steering knuckle are different from the Z33 to the Z34.

I'd try both, see if they can connect you to support. if not...go make friends with a speed shop, see if they can source one and compare and contrast!

this right here is prob the reason.

yeah i was looking at my car and it seems that its alittle different. The SPL Z33 kit uses a nut to secure it inplace. Also, the mounting is stepped. I guess to make it fit the Z34 is to get a stepped drill bit and kinda drill the top piece to accomodate the SPL piece
