I Damaged One Of My Castor Bushes, Anyone Got One?


Recommended Posts

Well on the weekend i has having some fun over grass tree hill, a lot of fun, came into one corner a bit hard and the front wheel dropped of into a curb and then launched the car on the other side, sounded horible. Anyway, looks like i damaged the Passenger side castor bush, she's split. BUGGGAAA.

Anyone have a rod i can buy? Or can you get a bush to press into it, like a nolothane one?

I have seen the adjustable rods but they tend not to last too long.

Can somone point me in the right direction.

yeah i found that option, you mean just the inserts or the full rose joint rods. The thing with rose joint ones, is that they tend to wear out blody quick.

any one have an old stock one they can sell?

Whiteline can/will sell you a replacement bush, not a rose joint. You can also get an adjustable setup that still uses a bush. Noltec offer the same, infact they can sell you a caster rod with it..

mine are a standard urathane type bush with an adjustable crush tube... works a charm... not had a problem and have not heard of any... have a look in the group buy section. sydneykid is probably still selling them at a good price!

WogsRus if your still comming up this weekend, the place where im meeting you sells Justjap castor rods

yeah i'll be up on friday i'll give you a call. If the ECU works i reccon i'll take it, but might need to keep it hush hush for the missis.

How much for the JustJap castor rods, they are rosejoint ones yeah. If so they are iligal to be used on public roads.

Nah the witeline kit is $125 for two bushes.

    • 6 foot 91kg.   Thanks Brett, ill have a look into them!   Whoa 197 haha, I'm about 182 but not that far behind you in weight. My back is probably a little wider than most people my size and weight so I would most certainly need the XL seat by the sounds of it.  The car is insured to drive 1000km a year (might up that at some stage) but it would likely take me at least 5 years before I would ever get close to 15,000km. If I don't buy the real ones I kind of feel like I'm cheaping out though lol Spent all this money on good quality parts every where else just to cheap out on the seats? probably my OCD.  I did find these guys who are more local to me and have copy seats in stock.  https://vosta.com.au/collections/reclining-bucket-seats/products/japan-stadia-ii-gradation Or if I want to go genuine   https://www.carmodsaustralia.com.au/brand/bride-racing/?srsltid=AfmBOooYKfh5btzB8-ezRTTokM0AqQ3GyWKcfutaMRWBzosRLNSFQhLt
    • Good. I was worried we were still talking about the block. Yes, larger baffled sump is a good idea. Do not touch the pump unless you're going on a whole build saga. Read the oil control thread on here - at least the last 100 pages or so. We drew some reasonable things together in there. The short version is that venting the sump is more important than almost anything else you do.
    • Perhaps just get a proper mechanic who is good with Nissan autos (they were more or less the same across all the RWD, FWD, 4WD cars at that time, even if they were actually different boxes) to give it a good going over. He might be able to plug in a Consult or other scan tool and find out if it's got some fault codes. Otherwise, my approach to the problem if not liking the way the auto was workign behind my RB20 turbo, was to drop it on the workshop floor and put in the manual box that it really needed. That solved all the auto problems.
    • Gotcha, I mean that is at least good to hear. Are there signs, or troubleshooting tips to make sure the transmission is operating properly?
