    I've always wanted to completely re bush my car and have been trying to source all the bushes to do this for ages so I can begin my rear subframe overhaul. I wasn't going to settle for urethane due to its inherent design flaws and binding issues and new oem bushes can only be bought already fitted to the components. So after hours of research I've managed to source brand new replacement nismo bushes for every joint in my car. Half have come from the states and the other half direct from Japan. The biggest problem I've encountered is most retailers say these are nla. I've been slowly collecting them and today finally the last of the bits I need have arrived.

    I've also sourced some nismo rear subframe bushes from a 180 or gtr or something since Nissan doesn't actually list a replacement bush for the Z32 so will see how well these fit. Upon initial inspection they are almost exactly the same as oem bushes. Hopefully these bushes should last another 20+ years since I'm not exactly looking forward to this job. :zlove:

    Mine could do with a rebush of the whole lot. Any chance I could please grab a list of the part numbers and where they go? There are various bits I no longer need as certain parts are now pillow ball.

    Yeah will put a list up sometime, need to go through the messy scraps of paper I've been handwriting on over the months to get an actual list out of it first.

    What is the difference between these and regular OEM bushes?

    Super keen to deck out anything that I haven't already replaced with adjustable arms

    - Diff
    - Subframe
    - LCA front and rear
    - Rear tension rod
    - RUCA knuckle bush

    I think that's it...

    That's the right part number, I'd not recommend dealing with rhdjapan though unless you absolutely need to, customer service is sub par at best. Originally I tried ordering these bushes through them, then without telling me they ended up sending half my order and weren't interested in obtaining the other bits for me. Their words were 'get in contact with us in a couple months when our new website is up and they should be in stock then'.

    RHD Japan are shit. I ordered something two weeks ago and have so far received about 10 e-mails about some automated non-related crap, saying nothing about my order.

    I ordered something from RHDJapan, no issues. It was a single low price item though...

    Also interest expressed on a bush GB :)
