So I got my new aluminium bushes and wouldnt reallly know how im meant to install them.

Who has done it before and wants to help a brother out, I'm sure I could pull out the whole subframe and spend 6 hours doing it, but i'd just rather not.

Can shout beer or whatever you take for assistance :P

Let me know and that.

Nah was not ignoring you at all.

As i sent the reply the computer system here went wierd....we lost heaps of stuff :D

I dont have your orignal message any more but from what i remember:

Lock ring fitting $110 approx

Wheel Alignment (4 wheel) $88.

So can anyone give me a quick rundown of what I need to do?

Drop the subframe, Wrestle with strange bits of rubbbber/silicon filled bushes till they come out.

Place top part of metal bushing in, put back on car, put bottom bit in, bolt up tightt till bush clicks into place ?

Let me know how far off I am :P

What parts do you have exactly? Just the 4-8 lock rings or the subframe bushes aswell?

To solve confusion, why not bring the car and the parts to me today or tomorrow and we can put it on a hoist and ill try to show you waht needs to be done.

they dont replace the bushes, they help compress them, 15 year old bushes dont hold very well.

4 solid rings go underneath, 4 split ones go above, some people leave 2 front or 2 rear out for squat/anti squat but id just put em all in :P

there are some writeups on nissansilvia.com but i dont know how similar the skyline subframe bolts etc are, they would probably give some guidance though

The same as silvia's basically.

No Link?!

Main reason I was putting them in is one of the silicon filled bushes at the front has let go.

Should I replace the bushes as well then, or is it not going to matter once they are compressed?

shouldnt matter but im no expert, ask the wa suspension guy lol

    • That ring thing is interesting how it's holding everything together 
    • Hey guys. I have a 400R on its way to Australia from Japan currently and have a few questions I’m hoping others may be able to help with.   Wondering if anyone here has had any luck getting the Sat nav unit to work in Australia!? Assuming the Stereo is as simple as a band expanded and tv won’t work?  Seeing as they’re based off a Q50 which is Aus delivered is there any way to link that system to the nav? Nav modules and head unit are different part numbers and appear slightly different at the rear with plug ins etc. can I put my xtrail sd card into the rv37 and will that convert the maps or update to Australian? Has anyone got any advice here?     also has anyone fitted the factory remote start and Security system once it’s landed in Australia? I put an enquirey to Nissan Japan in via a third party, and they suggested it needs a Nissan Japan dealers device to setup and couldn’t guarantee if one here could do it or not. They can supply and I can physically fit it but to setup I would need a dealers device. Any information here would be appreciated also. I’ve seen one here with it fitted already prior to leaving Japan at a dealer/inporter, so clearly passes compliance and works when fitted Japan and doesn’t need changing here.      also, does the tyre inflation sensors work here? Does anything change with them when the vehicle arrives? Where are they actually situated? I’ve read they have batteries and they need to changing at times and seems like resetting involves the nav system?    any help here would be appreciated and any other aust specific information to help would be great. Looking forward to see what the current generation skyline is like and eager to see how many of the gadgets can be utilised here.  Thanks in advance 
    • Do need to take it with a pinch of salt. One of the adapter failures, they clearly had setup issues with the flywheel.  One of the slipping ones I spoke to and it was pretty clear the throwout was riding, rather than fix, just swapped to a new clutch.    These clutches are being put in anything from 5k offroad 4x4 beaters, GR yaris, 500hp commodores to 1200hp barra monsters. Bound to be some issues in some of them when they are not a simple bolt in affair due to the changes in height.    There is a lot going on in this picture and unless I did the job myself no way to tell what really happened. 
    • I did this mod in 2019  You just have to modify the top bracket of the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU so it sits more upright and closer to the back seat and run a good quality positive battery lead from the engine bay, the negative lead i just bolted down to the body in the boot.
    • Damn... Not the feedback I want to hear.
