    Can you link me to the thread? GTR bushes are too tall, GTS-T would fit but Nismo don't list anything for GTS-T. Happy to chase up pricing etc if I can first confirm that they're suitable

    Ok I'll check pricing -can neither confirm not deny that they will fit though, up to you guys to take the chance. Anything that fits GTR will NOT fit Z32, but I notice whiteline list the same part for "Nissan RWD" so these S13/14 parts may just do it.

    Rob put we down for a couple of nice new tight Japanese bushes please.

    2. Front Lower Control Arm Bush 5200JPY $60.40AUD

    When you say shipping from JPN will be split equally, does that mean if there are 10 participants I will pay 1/10th of the shipping ?

    Or will it be buy dollar proportion of the order ?

    Reason being a small order like mine will get smashed on freight.

    Anti 14.7 x 14.7 = 44.1

    Possible to linish down too tall GTR subframe bushes?

    Anything's possible but in practise linishing a rubber bush without cracking or melting it doesn't sound like my idea of fun...

    I suppose at the end of the day if you guys want to buy alternative bushes and play with them then it's no trouble to include them in the buy, but I can't make any represenations re fitment etc.

    Anti 14.7 x 14.7 = 44.1

    Can't see them cracking but definitely melting would be a concern. Low speed linishing would be the go. Pretty sure I checked out the sizing comparison when I was @ UAS - vaguely remember something like being able to use GTR bushes, linish them down and raise the subframe slightly in the process?

    Might be a good idea to call JP on this one dude

    I'm out of town -can you call and ask?

    Already spoken at length to John, could possibly be done but up to end user to make that decision. Yes the GTR bushes are too tall, would mess with roll centre etc if installed as is.

    Guys something else to keep in mind is that the skyline bushes are of a weaker design too. I was looking at a subframe out of an r33 today where the bushes were torn and falling apart. I haven't seen any z32 subframes that bad and the bushes are of a different design.

    Subframe Bushes

    Guys just to nip this in the bud...

    Nismo do not make a sub frame bush that suits Z32.

    If you want to try and fit a set of bushes for an S13 or GTR then I am happy to add these to your order, but be aware that they will not fit the Z without modification and I am not in any way implying that this is a solution for Z32 owners, or endorsing the idea.

    Sorry to be a negative nancy, but people are asking "can't I do this" or "I have heard this will work" and I need to be really clear guys I don't want to get involved in your decision making process. The official line is "there are no Z32 bushes available". No I cannot provide an alternative from the Nismo lineup.

    Thx for your understanding.

    Thanks for the headsup rob. Not sure if these bushes will come direct from Nissan but is there any chance we could include stock Nissan subframe bushes with the order?

    Mike afaik, you cannot buy the subframe bushes on their own. The only way to get new oem bushes is by getting a brand new subframe, which I'm considering getting
