Description

Nissan S14 S15 R33 R34 Rear subframe reinforcement

This rear subframe reinforcement is a set of formed steel parts for the Nissan Silvia S14 and S15 and the Skyline R33 and R34. It reinforces the mounting points and the weak spots of the rear subframe member. That is exactly where things go wrong as soon as an engine delivers far more power than Nissan ever had in mind.

The set is intended for heavy motorsport cars with plenty of horsepower, but also for cars that are on the road all year round and suffer from weather and road salt. You use it to prevent damage, or to repair a subframe that is already affected and make it stronger at the same time.

Installation and delivery

The rear subframe reinforcement is welded onto the subframe, so it is not a bolt-on part. It is easiest to work with the subframe out of the car. Clean it thoroughly down to bare metal, check the mounting points for cracks and repair those first. Then place the parts of the rear subframe reinforcement on the places marked in red and weld them all the way round.

Have the welding done by someone with experience of structural work on suspension. After welding, protect the subframe against rust with a good primer and paint, especially on a car that is also driven in winter. Replace worn subframe bushes straight away, now that everything is apart anyway.

You will find more parts to make your body and suspension stiffer in our chassis and subframe reinforcements category.

More power than the factory ever intended? Then the rear subframe is the first place you want to make stronger.

Why choose this rear subframe reinforcement?

An S14, S15, R33 or R34 with a bigger turbo puts forces on the subframe that the original was never designed for. If a mounting cracks, the wheel alignment changes and the car becomes unpredictable when you initiate a drift. These formed parts in 3 mm S355 spread the load over a larger area. With a rear subframe reinforcement, the subframe is better able to withstand seasons full of launches and drifting.

Frequently asked questions

Which models does this set fit?

The Nissan Silvia S14 and S15 and the Nissan Skyline R33 and R34.

Does the rear subframe reinforcement have to be welded?

Yes. The parts are welded onto the subframe. Have this done by an experienced welder.

Can I also use the set if the subframe is already cracked?

Yes. The set is meant to prevent damage, but also to repair existing damage and reinforce the subframe at the same time. Weld up cracks first before you fit the parts.

Where exactly do the reinforcements go?

On the main photo, the places of the rear subframe reinforcement are marked in red. They are the mounting points and the critical points of the rear subframe.

Is this only for drift and circuit cars?

No. A daily driven car that has to deal with a lot of weather and road salt also benefits from extra material on the weak points.
