one of my rear subframe bushes has been leaking and im starting to get knocking, i know its a massive job to replace them.

now i doubt putting the poly pineapples on would do much but will the Alloy Subframe Bushes do the job?

i know its a band-aid fix but i'd really like to avoid spending 12hours under the car!

im talking about these

is it worth putting these in or should i just bite the bullet and change the bushes?

yeah these will lock it down solid, but the in cabin noise will increase by a fair bit. when i had to do the same in my 32 i went for taking the car off the roar for a week, i had another to drive, worked on it a little bit each arvo after work and changed the bushes for a set of Noltec ones.

i dont know if you can still get noltec bushes, you'll have to check, but its your only real other option. the in cabin noise only increased by a little bit with them, nowhere near as much as a set of the solid mount ones though.

I used the alloy subframe mounts in my R32 GTR. only a minor increase in noise. Barely noticeable over the exhaust anyway. You can get them for less than $150 and fit them in under an hour at home so why not try them?

Everyone told me i'd get a huge increase in noise, i put in solid subframe and diff mounts and it was exactly the same as before.... i noticed a difference in the way the car handled and i didn't mind it

well if they dont work i will have to buy new bushes and i will have wasted $135 on the alloy bushes....

i'd like to hear from someone who has installed them into a car with leaking bushes

1) I have fitted them on a car with leaking bushes.

2) No-one is suggesting they don't work.

the only 'con' people ever mention with them is the noise issue. I didn't find it a problem, and I've never heard anyone else who has actually used them complain about it either. So spend the lousy $135 and give them a try. IF you find the noise is too much for you to bear, sell them for $100 and get the bushes. no great loss.

god its hard

Thanks for your order buddy - Once payment has cleared your goods will be dispatched.

They will fit with Stock Bushes no problem - Leaking, broken or otherwise.

The increase in road noise is a bit of a myth. We have installed them and noticed no real difference road noise on various cars and setups.

I will also email you some instructions for DIY install - It will take approx 20 mins on a hoist with a rattle gun and around 1hr at home on jack stands with hand tools and some patience.

      Pops when backing off throttle, rough-ish sound through rev range.

      By AdiR34 · Posted

      Hey guys! Y'all are the masters so figured I'd check in on a few items here. - My engine sounds ever-so-slightly more raspy than the other NA RB25s I've listened to. It's barely noticeable but definitely a slightly different sound. - When I back off the throttle at high RPM, I will sometimes get a pop out of the exhaust, assuming this can be diagnosed as misfire. Some history on the car: - Had an exhaust leak in auction sheet but was claimed to be fixed by seller (bought from USA importer).  - Car's coil packs and sparks were replaced when it was sold to me, but unsure on what the gap is and whether the coil packs are correct.  - A prior mechanic had misdiagnosed a pilot or throwout bearing sound as LSPI/detonation. Had played with timing a bit, pops/raspy sound of engine just got worse. Got timing reset. - Had failed emissions a few times. First time went in as is, failed. Second time, replaced cat, still failed, running rich as hell. Third time replaced o2 sensor, passed. Car still smells gassy though. - Timing belt and valve cover gasket also replaced.  - Gas mileage is... low. about 350-400K per tank.  Any idea if I'm having any serious issues here or does this all sound like normal old NA RB stuff and I'm fine to drive it with the pops/slightly raspy engine? If it'll help, I can get drop a video of the sound of the engine.

      Looking for a part number for this part here

      By Duncan · Posted

      So....to find any R chassis part number, get your VIN (will be something like ER33-xxxxxx for you) and go to: https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan and enter it. From there you have access to a web version of Nissan's part system, FAST. It is a bit tricky to get used to, so maybe have a shot and post up what you think.  You can also search by general model but note in some cases your car might have different options so VIN is safest.  On diagram 211 I got 14075-75T16 for Connector, Water Hose If I search for part 14053‑21U10 that you posted, that is also a water hose but not the one bolted to the plenum and 14075‑04U00 is the fitting where the water hose goes into the block.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Yeah now we are talking I much prefer coolers in the front middle because it lessens the chance of a small bump to a corner stopping the whole event. I was thinking the AT cooler can move out of the radiator, delete the AT/engine coolant interwarmer and mount a separate cooler with a thermoswitch somewhere further back as is common in racing, that would be one thing. Beyond that, the engine oil cooler is an obvious one to move to the wheel arch, potentially one on each side, but unused space is an issue. I did have a earlier pic with the bumper off but it doesn't show how busy the corners are: DS is full of the auto driving sensors and PS is totally fully of windscreen washer fluid reservoir But ultimately I was hoping to keep the AC, and the water/air heat exchanger is fundamental so it is not just the radiator that needs to be in front BTW here's airflow to the rad as it ran at the track (one horn is gone now and I'll remove the lights next time):
