Rb30det_Gts-t

Just an update on my bushes, i got the noltec ones refunded and the new ones arrived today, "nolathane evolution" part#49154 can be found at http://www.redranger.com.au/proc_selection.php I am only replacing the 2 front bushes (silicon filled) for now, due to guys at work saying u need some play, and due to only the r/f being split which leaked all the silicon out so when i boost it sags down and heads left. Removal of the bushes was fairly straight forward, support the subframe, found a socket big enough and the all mighty sledge hammer, wack wack, came out. If using these bushes u need 2 reuse the orignal outer shell, so try not to damage it to much. Once removed it was of to the gas cutter, just burnt out all the rubber and silicon until all was gone and until the centre feel out, on the outter part there is another 2 sleeves inside the outter one which you need, i simply grinded the end (bottom end of which u smacked out) so its flush then the sleeves simply punched out, leaving u with the outter shell, just grind and file to clean up the edges then i refited this to the subframe, just by applying a flat solid object accross the top and wack, outter shell is now back in subframe, now just simply insert the "nolathane evolution" bushes. I recomend these bushes if you are replacing them for a gts-t, my opinion, but the crush tube is slightly tighter which fits more solid onto the mount, and the fact u dont have to hack 12mm of the bush and crush tube like the noltec ones. Am still yet to refit subframe to my car, but will post and update when i have of how it feels etc, I hope this helps

yeap i am sure the tubing is bigger on the noltec bushes than the factory ones as i used verniers, yeap i know about the cutting of the 12mm, however a guy measured noltec ones for an r33 and the lenght was correct for my r32, however the tube size was still too big, i am gettin the brand "nolathane" ones sent to work to see if they are any different, apparently they are 3 peice set, another option i was told about was to sleeve the tubing out, has anyone else had this problem? my car is a 1990 r32, from factory it was a rb20det auto, it has hicas (now dissabled and is rb30det manual) i have the subframe out at work and only took about an hour to get out, would of had it back in on saturday if the bushes are the ryt ones.

also i was wondering if any one could post up a part number for these bushes of any brand, for a gts-t, cheers

sorry to bring up the old thread, but i also brought noltec subframe bushes which are also to long but also to big in the metal tubing threw the centre, by 1-2mm

hey guys im new to this site, i recently brought a gts-t with a rb30det, 25t head, link computer, cams, big fuel pump, 50ml external, front inlet plenum, topmount headers etc, any way im making about 220rwkw and 750nm of torque. I decided to take out my gearbox (rb20det) becos it was winding, what would be my best option, rebuild or different gearbox? What gearbox would suit the power im producing? i want something that bolts straight up and will last with my power output, how strong are the vl rb30 gearboxes? any ideas would be helpful Thanks, Here are some pics of my car
