It really should be SPSS's responsibility to track these issues. They are
sponging off our work, precariously close to overstepping the license
conditions, creating new problems, then expecting us to come and fix them.
As for the concrete issue, you seem to be bitten by what was a major annoyance
in the 3.2 series: pbkrtest requiring R >= 3.2.3 and hence all packages
depending on it (like car) doing so as well.
If SPSS hardcodes the R version, you are up the proverbial creek... You might
get away with hacking the DESCRIPTION file for pbkrtest to make it install (not
work, but you likely won't use it anyway) under 3.2.0. Of course, if it breaks
you can keep both pieces.
I'd probably be more inclined to save out the data set, fire up an appropriate
version of R (or RStudio), do
library(foreign)
d <- read.spss("myfile.sav", to.data.frame=TRUE)
library(AER)
and so forth.
You may need to study the R syntax a little. Achim and Christian wrote an
inexpensive book called "Applied Econometrics with R"
