I'm with franks, I reakon a stock r34 would be a disappointment to most skyline drivers compared to a fairly modded one. Imagine putting up your $100k and then getting kicked at the lights by a worked silvia :) Might as well drive a ferrari if you're going to get chopped all the time.

preference for me comes down to age i think...

if im still under 30 and can afford a bnr34 i'll get one. if im over 30 then i'll get an e46 m3.

however, there is one exception! if i could afford a ferrari 355 either when i'm under or over 30 i'd get that :D i couldn't care less if i get chopped by any R, its still a ferrari...amen

      R33 suspension bushes replacement, what wears the most?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Nothing wears "the most". Different cars will always show signs in a different place. 114000 km is either nothing at all (as in, given the calendar age, nearly brand new) or it's completely unbelievable. We stopped believing numbers like that about 15 years ago. Having said that, my car is up around 270000 km and I have put bushes into some places** as many as 10 times in >25 years that I've owned it. ** FUCAs, which are different on an R32 than on a 33, so not likely to be the same issue for you. I have original ball joints all the way around. They are perfectly fine. Same with the spindle bearings in the front. Tie rod ends have all been done at least once though. Pretty much every other bush in the car has been done at least twice. Some of those in the first 100000km after I got it (which was at a genuine 23000!). Some of those bushes are now sphericals, and they are on a <cough> regular maintenance schedule, hence why my FUCAs have been rebuilt so many times. Half of those 10 in the count above would be in the last few years! 'twere I you, I would budget on replacing everything, for fun and prevention. If they really are 30 year old rubber, they will all be unpleasantly aged in one way or another. Whether that's corrosion of shells, or the rubber cracking, or sagging under the load, etc etc.

      Tighten until it starts to get loose again, then back off 1/4 turn?

      Do them as you'll find when you remove them they are perished/dried.    Its probably one of the best things to do as makes the car so much more responsive. Do ball joints while there too.

      Hi All Got an R33, about 114,000km on the clock.  Handles very nice, no signs of issues.    Engine is out and i'm doing an underbody refresh, mainly painting subframe, cosmetics etc. Can't see anything physically giving play, but I'm wondering which bushes are the ones that wear the most, or the first ones that may give problems down the track? For good measure I'm thinking to fit new ones. Thanks
