Has anyone changed their K-Frame floor mount bushes in the R32 GTR?

And if so did you acquire the original k-frame floor mount bushes or some after market items.

I'm not that keen on using pineapples as i have been told that they only last about two years before you need to look at changing them again. ( i could be wrong through)

I have rang Nissan and was told that if i want those bushes i need to buy the whole K-frame as the floor mount bushes are not an item Nissan sells separately.

Now they want over $1000 for the K-frame and i'm not paying that much money.

If anyone can point me into the right direction as to where to buy the replacement items from or some other non oem parts but just as good..

Personally I'd call it a rear subframe. Anyway subframe bushes are a much better option than just pineapples. They are a bastard to replace though, subframe out which is why most people just take a shortcut and try and lock it using pineapples

So where do you get the subframe bushes from seeing nissan want's to only sell you the whole subframe only

I got mine from Noltec but I think they are goooone, bought out by whiteline.

Anyway just ask for "subframe bushes" from a local suspension workshop - there are probably a couple of local brands making them.

Be careful 32 gtr and gtst are different so make sure you get the right ones

Thanks mate i'll have a look at the whiteline and see if they still have them.

The nizmo one's work out about $102 each and you need 4. Ouch so looks like i'll keep looking

    • Great to hear you are bringing it out of the shed again. Unless you have specific issues I'd just add the wideband, get a good tune and enjoy it. Certainly no point changing coils etc if they are working. If would add fuel pressure and e85 sensor if you are doing a general update but not if it runs OK and you are just getting it back on track. The other thing is smaller, modern twins, -5 are OK for motorsport but pretty laggy and old tech for street use (of course, if performance is the priority a modern single with twin scroll manifold etc is the go but not cheap). The final thing worth considering is switching to an ethrottle if drivability is still an issue, it should make things a lot simpler and smoother
    • Yeah pretty sure they are m4, but best to check, and perhaps use new hardware Also don't over torque them......there was that one time I lost an expensive engine after a workshop overtorqued one of those bolts and it ended up in the oil pump (no, I don't know why they removed the intake mesh either)
    • I might have to shoot them an email. Pity the exchange rate is so bad at the moment. BTW, thanks for posting that table makes interesting reading. 
    • Add these Sensors -Wideband, Oil Pressure, Fuel pressure, Intake air temp Good inspection of ignition system of coils, plugs and loom (12v feed and good ground)- a r35 kit is best bang for buck upgrade. A decent tuner should be able to see any issues with the trigger system- a link has good filtering but a good simple upgrade is the nz wiring bolt in kit. Check and replace all the fuel filters- you would be surprised at intank filter after a few years. Also good to check for any leaks on vac hoses and pipe work as has been said. No need to go overboard and spend big $$$ to enjoy the car. A quality tuner is getting harder to find as anyone with a laptop thinks they are a tuner. A link has great features to check sensor voltages and frequency inputs and easy to see live by pressing f12. The link can do a TPS & RPM fuel/ignition mapping on ITB cars then add a 4D table with MAP and ability to add a 5D to it (can help with economy at cruise with wheel speed vs TPS) Where are you located as that will help narrow down a good tuner ?
    • Reviving an old thread, I reckon my stagea is starting to slip. Car usually gets parked on a hill, narrow driveway so cant go up the driveway smoothly, anyhows, lately first gear feels "sluggish"? Not responsive. Feels like I gotta run the engine more than usual to get off the line...  Any recommendations for transmission servicing in Sydney? Or possibly just an excuse to go manual ?
