Hi,

Ive recently purchased SydneyKids group buy bushings (front and rear camber kits, and Front caster kit). And am in a bit of a pickle lol :no:

My usual mechanic that i use for installs changed his number so i cant get hold of him (names Ryan owns a Silver 31 Aus spec with import spec parts on it) anyway, so i need to install these bushings however i still live at home and have a 2 car garage with 3 cars so we are limited on space so doing it myself at my house is impossible really unless i wud be able to get it done in under a day which i dont think i wud as i wud take it slow. Anyway, im wondering if anyone on here, having done THIS KIT before, is willing to install them for me. I can assist but having not pulled the control arm apart before unless im instructed to exactly do things, then it would take me alot longer.

Obviously I would pay an amount which (whoever it may be) and i thought was fair. Id ratehr do it this way instead of taking it to a workshop as this way at least i can learn as i go along should the time come where i need to do it again or need to help someone in the same position.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Cheers, David

I was looking at the bush kit a while back for my 33 from SK (I still need to get them) & he told me when I enquired that most of the bushes are a press fit.

You need a 10,000 pound press to be able to get the old bushes out & the new ones in so not really a back yard job unless you know someone with 1 of these.

Mate, call Ryan.

His number is now 0401 727 440

R31 silver, yeah, awesome lad hey, he's my mechanic too !! Did the first install at my home (sydneykid suspn) and this lot we are doing at his place down south. In fact, today's work got shifted to tomorrow. Doh. Lol, all is good: he became an uncle late last night! Congrats.

On my Stagea tomorrow we are fitting a highflowed Slide turbo, front and rear braided brake lines, front slotted rotors, new pads, auto oil cooler kit, oil filter, fuel filter, oil sump drain valve..... got an adjustable exhaust cam gear wheel and the front whiteline caster bushes but dont think we'll have time for these.

The whitelinefront castor kit needs a 10T press to push them on. I reckon I'll get these punched on when I have the 4wd Stagea wheel-aligned over xmas. The camber kits Im sure Ryan would have no trouble with.

    • Just one more post to show the final result and the original "janky" solution for a laugh. Everything feels really tight and no wobbling at all, very pleased 🙂
    • After drying a few days, time to put her back together 
    • The hot exhaust light will come on not from just the cat being blocked, but it's just a temp sensor, and it's designed to warn you to not do things like park in long grass.   If you've been pushing the motor a bit, it can cause the light to come on.   Second if the cat is rattling, I'd suspect it's not blocked, but instead falling apart inside.   The easiest "fix" until you can get a cat put back in, is to unbolt your one, bash the rest of the insides out, and then bolt it back in.   For a daily driver/street car, I am in agreeance of put a cat in the car. If it were race car I wouldn't care if it were removed.
    • No worries at all 🫡 I think the most satisfying things to make are the little bits that are just impossible to find or they're no longer manufactured. Generally I always try to replace parts with OEM wherever possible. This little project is also great because it'll never see the light of day, but strengthen these brackets so it's not just relying on the little standard screws in the headlight plastic. As soon as I saw the standard brackets and screws I thought, "well I'm not going to install with just the screws, the plastic tabs will just snap off". It's crazy how expensive everything has become yeah. But I suppose that's supply and demand; granted it's a lot easier to get brand new genuine parts these days which is fantastic 😊, I don't have to get totally reamed at the local Nissan dealer ha ha We sure are lucky we have all these manufacturers making parts these days, a few really great Australian companies too like Platinum Racing Products and Fit Mint Automotive, what a time to be alive ❤️ . I've got my eye on the RB26 head by PRP as mine has a very fine hairline crack, so that'll need to be addressed some time in the future. If you have any requests or odd things to make feel free to let me know and I can have a crack at making replacement parts ✌️
