Nothing is easy. I've got one of the arms together and have attempted to put it into the car. It turns out that the outer mount is 2mm narrower that the inner mount. I have checked that I followed the provided instructions but it turns out that I think that I have pressed the bushes into the wrong side. The arms are marked with an 'L' and an 'A' on what I believe to be the outer end of the arm. Can anyone confirm that the marks are on the outside?

I bought the Nolathane bushes because of the price. They provide brief instructions on how to fit them. Regarding removing the old bushes Nolathan writes "Remove the original bushes from the arm. (These bushes are 4 half-shell bushes, which can be removed easily when hit from behind the flange)". I think that they have gone over-the-top with the use of the word 'easily' beacuse it is NOT easy - in fact I can't do it. Looking at the posts above I can see that you guys are talking about using a press. How exactly would that work - beacause of the flanges it looks like using a press would just push them in further? Here is a picture of my passenger-side arm with the brass inserts still in!

It turns out my Noltec bushes are dead - they are kind of crumbling away, I am guessing it is a shot of degreaser that I used a little while ago that didi it (so much for them looking shiny blue!). Anyhow, the run down on a replacement so far is as follows (looking to get the car on the road i.e. no adjustment). Nissan don't sell replacement bushes, they sell replacement contrl arms - $432 for both sides I called UAS, John sais they are supplying Superpro adjustable bushes (SPF1659K) now (not Whiteline like on their website) - $260 UAS also supply Nismo bushes - $360 Supercheap supply the Superpro non adjustable bushes (SPF0723K) - $283 Nolathane non adjustable bushes (45142) are being sold by Online Performance Autos on eBay - $126.72 (plus postage) http://www.nolathane.com.au/product_detail.php?part_number=45142 Whiteline are selling an adjustable set (KCA336) for $355.70 http://www.whiteline.com.au/product_detail.php?part_number=KCA336 It seems like it's going to be hard to pass up the Nolathane option at 1/2 of the cost of the next cheapest option; is there anything that I need to look out for e.g. I can see that some kits come with bolts, which the Nolathane kit doesn't seem to have - will my existing bolts work (normally I woudl assume so, but I wonder why bolts are supplied with some kits?) Thanks, Ben

Hi, I have chewed my bushes out and need to replace them. I am looking for replacement bushes or complete arms that have had the bushes replaced. Thanks, Ben.

I've seen cheaper ones too - do you know what the difference is? Is it the tyres they come with being better / newer?

The clutch fan or the electric support fan?

Hi, i am looking for the hose between the power steering reseviour and the power steering pump for my r32. It obviously needs to be in great condition. Pick up in south west Sydney is preferred but will pay for post if needs be. Thanks heaps Ben.

I have an Australian S15 cd deck going for $50 is you are going for the stock look. I can give you the aerial adapter for free as well as wiring instructions. My For Sale Thread

Hi mate, I am interested in the mats but Newcastle is too far for me. Do you come down to Sydney at all?

What type of grease do you use for Noltec bushes (one of mine is squeaking). Is general purpose automotive grease ok or is there something better? Thanks, Ben.

I have a creak coming from the passenger side upper control arm of my R32. The bushes were replaced a couple of years ago with Noltec bushes - I am guessing that the bushes need to be regreased. Is multipurpose automotive grease suitable or is there a specific grease that should be used? Thanks, Ben.

How does it attach to the car? Is it a drop down spoiler that is connected to motors which are connected to the reinforcement bar or does it connect to the plastic front bar skin?

Which bar does it suit - I have an m spec bar.

How do they attach to the car? Do you have any pictures with them on?

I am selling a factory stereo from an S15 200SX. It is in good condition and comes with wiring instructions for an R32 Skyline. It is a good looking replacement for a JDM stereo. $50 pick up from Harrington Park NSW or Wetherill Park NSW. I am willing to post at buyers expense.

Thanks very much for the responses but I have since found one for $30! Thanks anyhow and happy new year!

This is only slightly related but hemming tape (availae fro spotlight) is an awesome way to fix the fabric on the rear quarter guards

Hi,I am after an R32 GTSt / GTS4 radiator that I can pick up in Sydney. Thanks, Ben (0435 844 866).

Hi mate, I'll take the radiator. Your number isn't on this post - call me on 0435 844 866 to arrange a time for me to collect. Thanks, Ben.

Hi mate, what type of wheels are on the car?

Hi does anyone know if these rims would fit an R32 GTSt? I know these are sold but I would like to know for future reference? Thanks, Ben.

If you have tri spoke rims and you are in Sydney let me know how much you want for them!

They didn't miss!
