Steering Rack Bushes

[Beer Baron]

well I bought mine from nismo japan. can't remember exactly how much but it was nothing too bad. maybe $120 a pair. they look very good too.

if anyone really needs a set I can flog you mine and just buy some more, as my GTR isn't going anywhere for the next month and the rack bushes are just sitting in their packet.

Hi all. I finished installing my Drift Motorsport steering bushes on my 32. I do notice the difference - the car feels more consistent on sweeping bends for instance. I did have a little trouble fitting them initially as I did not think they would fit in well, but with the pressure of the stirrups pushing on them during installation everything falls in place. Instructions from Drift Motorsport are below for people's future reference. Note that fpr point 4 in the first section I had to buy a new longer bolt (M12 x 1.25) as I couldn't get the stock one any where near close enough to bite.

The two black bushes form a heart shape around the rack, on the drivers side. This shape is slightly at an angle, with the pointy end facing the front of the vehicle.

Here are some steps for installing the black bushes for the drivers side.

1) Remove top bracket and old bush

2) Lift up the rack and place bushes in line with the shape on the rack, with the pointy end facing the front of the car. Don't worry if there is a gap between the two bushes, as the gap will compress once the bracket is bolted down.

3) Place the bracket over the rack with the bushes

4) Place the smallest amount of thread required to hold the bracket in place, on the bolt facing towards the rear of the car (ie: not the bolt near the engine, the other one).

5) Use leverage and compress the bracket down so that the front bolt can grab the threads and tighten it up about 3-5 threads.

6) Tighten the bolts evenly and ensure that the bushes are aligned in their right positions.

1) Remove bracket and old bush

2) Clean surfaces with a rag

3) Place bush on the rack, with the split facing the rear end, where the two brackets separate

4) Tighten bracket evenly and to specification

5) If there is gap in the blue ring - don't worry as it is designed to have a gap there so that it can compress and clamp down. Factory bushes have this gap as well but it is harder to see as the bush and brackets are black.

Thanks, Ben.

so if im correct, the drivers side bushes are two separate black half moon bushes,

and the passenger is a full moon with a gap so u can slide in on, with gap facing the rear of the car...

and there pretty much just clamp over...and bolted down...

correct??

and one more question..are all Nissan import cars the same?

cause i found these bushes on eBay, there pretty cheap..

but list it for 13 S14 S15 R32 R33 R34, so im guessing we all have the same rack then?

apart from the gtr's???

but i looked in the nismo catalogue ..and they should them having different p/n's and different prices too...

so yeah..

wat u guys reckon????

plus anyone heard of D-Project bushes ??is that the same as the Drift Motorsport bushes??

[eXquiSit]

any more info on these?

what choices is out there atm?

Hello, the Drift Motorsport bushes are the D-Project ones that we sell on eBay as well as other forums as D-Project.

The black bushes can be a bit challenging to fit - because of the metal inlay-rubber setup. They have been designed to be compressed by the mounting strap so that the rack is locked in to place.

I will be doing a complete BLOG of our R32-R34 front 4 door RB30/26 drift car buildup over the next few months with all of the Suspension setups and products that we will be using.

You can find more information here on our D-Project ns.com thread: http://www.nissansilvia.com/forums/index.p...amp;pid=4645329
