hey, during the past week, my friends r33 developed a leak somewhere from the front on the left side, it was leaking some thick, translucent greasy stuff and i think its a dead bush, but i dont know what the part its leaking from is called, here's a pic, do any of u guys have an idea of what it is and how to fix it, can the dead bush, if that is the case, be replaced with pineapples

yes that is def your castor buses, pretty hard to do your self so best to take it to a work shop to do it,

mine were like that but i then decided to get them replaced with a polyurethane bush kit that superpro make, for a few $ more i went for adjustable castor bushes, which gives you adjustable castor, to help tune in more wheel alignment specs to help the car drive straight,

when your stock bush completely drains out, you might notice that the car will pull to one side, but its not something that will cause immediate dramas

workshops shouldnt charge a hell of a lot in terms of hours, its only a few bolts, then they have to press the old bush out and put the new one in (extremly hard to do your self) then it will need a wheel alignment

the part numbers for an r33 for the superpro bush kit

-1202k - direct standard spec replacment

-1202AK - adjustable caster(worth it )

    • Personal experience. Those f**kers burn. And are actually a PITA to put out. Next time I walk down the back, I'll snap a photo of what the inside of the bonnet looks like when that thing ignites. PS, powder fire extinguishers are useless on that stuff too as it's fibrous and when it ignites, it starts to pull apart. And you end up just blowing powder through a sieve effectively.   Like the big thing is, if it's fire resistant, it's job is to stop what burning? The METAL above it? It's just to try keep heat off the bonnet paint work.
    • Oh man, sorry, $60.00000000... 😛
    • That's more or less what he meant. What it really means is that you do not have to go full crazy on the build. Don't need the best oil pump, expensive rods & pistons, big cams, etc. You can upgrade whatever you want instead of using stock level items, but you don't have to. Having said that - any time an RB is opened up, if anything is getting replaced, I think the opportunity should be taken to do all the sensible upgrades. Pistons, rods, pump, etc.
    • February update 🙂 We managed to get the very last 1/18th "Extra Scale" cars stock available from bookstores in Kyoto. These are actually the last ones and will not be restocked again! Hachette Collections Japan have not decided on a release date for these or other models in the series, so for the time being these are all there are available new.  These are showing up on Yahoo auctions at inflated prices already (especially the Celica and NSX) so get yours now at a very reasonable price before they disappear! Stock quantities: NA1 Honda NSX - 1 left: https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/1-18-extra-scale-1990-na1-honda-nsx 1973 Toyota Celica LB 2000GT - 2 left: https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/1-18-extra-scale-1973-toyota-celica-lb-2000gt 1968 Mazda Cosmo Sport - 2 left: https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/1-18-extra-scale-1968-mazda-cosmo-sport 1970 KPGC10 Nissan Skyline 2000GT-R - 2 left: https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/1-18-extra-scale-1970-kpgc10-nissan-skyline-2000gt-r
    • When you say basic rebuild, you mean an oem rebuild?
