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.

    • I mean yes, if you're starting from scratch on an unknown engine yes you don't need to be doing all kinds of math in the background but if you're doing relatively minor changes like AFM + injectors + boost up with some aftermarket turbos it takes quite a bit of math if you want to do something like maintain OEM fuel + timing tables but compressed and then a bit more load scale up top. I think I've spent too much time working on big engineering nightmares though so I'm a big fan of trying to constrain the scope of whatever work I'm doing as much as possible and trying to get it right before moving on. For example, a local owner just did the usual E85 + single turbo conversion to his R32 GTR and nearly burned his car to the ground doing some spirited driving up the local mountains. Turbine is unshielded and too close to the hood insulation. It's tough to balance "just get the project done" and "seemingly small details can cause massive setbacks I'm not willing to deal with".
    • No idea about Neil's steering wheel, but I have the same behaviour in the Stagea. I doubt it has ever been messed with so might be normal. Indicating to turn right at a roundabout and correcting even a little bit to the left to go around will cancel the indicator. Never considered it an issue other than it being a bit odd.
    • Does anyone know if this is off centered? Looks like it, when I indicate to go right, but turn my steering wheel slightly left it cancels (was always like that even before I started messing around with it) was wondering if anyone else has the same issue?
    • Nothing photo worthy since last update, lots of little plumbing bits for the AAC/Cold start valves, and unfortunately I still need another couple of parts for the brake booster line and the AAC into the plenum. Otherwise it all looks good to start up engine wise, onto checking the electrics/interior
    • Good news mate, plenty of spares available 5:40
