Who's Free This Weekend.

[Ehgriez]

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

Let me know and that.

[Douse]

Let me know how it goes, then drop a fully sick skid and let me know if/how much you get axel tramp!!

They are next on my list to buy...

[bubba]

Sorry dude, if I wasn't in Sydney this weekend I'd come supervise

[R DIRTY 3]

Easy job mate! Shouldnt take anywhere near 6 hours.

The Ali lock rings have the slot cut out of them???

did you not get my PM the other day? I wrote it up but we had computer issues that day.

[Ehgriez]

Nahh I didn't, thought you were ignoring me

Yeah slot cut out of them. I had a bit of a look around but couldnt find any instructions on it. So I factored in figuring it all out before starting the job

[R DIRTY 3]

Nah was not ignoring you at all.

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

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

Lock ring fitting $110 approx

Wheel Alignment (4 wheel) $88.

[Ehgriez]

When are you free to do that? I'll definitely get the alignment done, and ill see how much i feel like doing the lock rings this weekend, I can call you monday to book the car in?

[R DIRTY 3]

Coud possibly do it all tomorrow if you wanted mate.

Otherwise, next week will be ok.

[thrtytwo]

lol i had a few workshops (reputable ones at that) tell me its a bitch of a job, same thing, like 6 hours , my bushes are still sitting here for now haha

[NA_Goodness]

If I didn't have the show on this weekend I'd definately help you out. Always up for learning new things/helping people out. Let us know how you go.

[Ehgriez]

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

[R DIRTY 3]

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.

[Ehgriez]

Ill upload a pic.

And a link to them

As far as I was aware they replaced the bushes?

[Ehgriez]

Aww figured you might be free due to the whole bring it down and we'll take a look.

[Sillabaa]

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

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

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?
