Hi all, does anyone know if the C32 and C33 have the same suspension setup ? I can get coilovers for a C33 but not for a C32 ! Mine is a C32 SGX

cant answer the question actually asked, but coilover set up for the c32 is easy. ive done it and it doesn't cost a lot and all parts needed are readily available from an s13. datsunclubuk.proboards.com/post/793/thread^^^^linky thing^^^^

C33 is basically an s13/14 under the skin. 90's Nissan RWD rear end set ups in S13-15, C33, R32-34 and Z32 are all basically the same design with various different diffs/brakes/track widths etc... The front is either R/Z body wishbones or C/S body struts.
C32 is older style semi trailing arm rear, or a live axle, depending on model. Dreadnought's thread gives a good explanation of the front end - big difference is the shock bolts to the hub on C33/S13 etc... But C32 is shock in collar style.

The C33 Laurel is all S13 suspension underneath....shocks, arms and subframe. Not sure if the steering rack is S13 or R32. The C34 is the same idea and is S14 underneath.... The C35 is S15 underneath

i belive that the Laurel more closely matches the Skyline underneath, as they share a common platform. i'm sure the brakes and suspension of all of the models at the same age are very similar.
C31 - R30 C32 - R31 C33 - R32 C34 - R33

That's only right up to C32/R31. R32 is not on struts but the C33 is.

ah. well the Skyline is built/based of the Laurel chassis from everything i've read.
what front suspension configuration is the R32 then?

Wishbone & telescopic damper, like Z32. Driftworks converted one to S body style hubs & struts a few years ago by welding plates into the top of the turrets.

As I said, the C33 uses S13 suspension.
