SPL Parts 2008+ Nissan GTR (R35) Rear Toe Links

Precision Rear Toe Adjustment for the 2008+ Nissan GT-R (R35) with SPL RTA R35

The SPL RTA R35 delivers motorsport-grade rear toe adjustment for the Nissan R35 GT-R, replacing the factory rubber-bushed links with fully adjustable, low-friction billet hardware. Whether you are dialing in alignment for track days or compensating for ride height changes on a lowered street build, the SPL RTA R35 provides the range and precision that stock components simply cannot match. Engineered in the USA using Finite Element Analysis, every arm is built to exceed factory strength while reducing unsprung weight.

Features and Benefits

• CNC milled 6061-T6 billet aluminum main arm, black anodized for corrosion resistance and durability
• Electroless nickel plated 4130 chromoly double adjuster with 360-degree rotating 6061-T6 aluminum clamps for tool-free, on-car adjustment
• Blue anodized Ti-6Al-4V titanium socket head cap screws reduce unsprung weight without sacrificing clamp force
• 3-piece PTFE-lined FK spherical rod ends manufactured in Connecticut: quiet operation, low friction, smooth articulation from -65 to 325 degrees F
• Self-lubricating and self-cleaning PTFE liner bonded to the inner race for long service life on street and track

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the SPL RTA R35 do that the factory toe links cannot?
The factory R35 GT-R toe links use rubber bushings that flex under load, allowing rear toe to shift during hard cornering, acceleration, and braking. The SPL RTA R35 replaces those bushings with PTFE-lined FK spherical rod ends, eliminating deflection and holding your alignment exactly where it was set.

How much toe adjustment range does the SPL RTA R35 provide?
The double-adjuster design provides a significantly wider range of rear toe adjustment than the OEM links, giving alignment technicians enough travel to accommodate both aggressive lowering and race camber setups on the R35 GT-R.

Is the SPL RTA R35 legal for street use in the United States?
Yes. The SPL RTA R35 is a suspension alignment link and does not modify emissions, noise, or safety systems. It is suitable for street use in all 50 states, though a professional wheel alignment is required after installation.

Do I need the SPL EL R35 eccentric lockout kit with these toe links?
The eccentric lockout kit is sold separately and is highly recommended for track use. It eliminates the factory eccentric bolt so that toe cannot drift under high cornering loads. For street-only use, the standard hardware is acceptable, but the lockout kit prevents any risk of alignment shift.

How difficult is installation?
Installation involves removing two bolts per side and threading in the SPL RTA R35 at the same length as the OEM arm. A professional alignment is required afterward. The rotating clamp design means no jam nuts, and adjustment can be done on the car.

Will the SPL RTA R35 cause increased noise or harshness compared to stock?
PTFE-lined FK rod ends operate quietly due to the self-lubricating liner. On a performance vehicle like the GT-R, most owners report no perceptible increase in NVH compared to the factory rubber-bushed links.

Does installing this product void my factory warranty?
Under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, a vehicle manufacturer cannot void your powertrain warranty solely because you installed an aftermarket part, unless the manufacturer can demonstrate that the specific aftermarket part caused the failure. Consult your dealer for details on your specific situation.

Can I use the SPL RTA R35 on a GT-R that has not been lowered?
Yes. Even at stock ride height, the spherical rod ends improve suspension response by eliminating bushing deflection. The extended adjustment range is useful for dialing in precise alignment on stock-height and modified GT-Rs alike.

Installation Instructions

1. Safely raise and support the vehicle on jack stands; remove the rear wheels for access.
2. Photograph the OEM toe link position and note the factory toe measurement if available.
3. Remove the factory toe link mounting bolts (typically 19mm at the subframe, 17mm at the knuckle) and set the OEM arm aside.
4. Place the SPL RTA R35 next to the OEM arm and pre-set it to the same center-to-center length, ensuring equal thread engagement on both adjuster ends.
5. Install the SPL RTA R35 with the supplied or OEM hardware; do not fully torque until the vehicle is at ride height.
6. Lower the vehicle to ride height and torque mounting bolts to factory specification (approximately 48 to 55 ft-lbs; confirm with your factory service manual).
7. Tighten the 360-degree rotating clamps using a 3/16-inch hex key to lock the adjuster in position.
8. Have the vehicle professionally aligned on a four-wheel alignment rack before driving.
