I recently got mine changed at pedders to solid adjustable bushes in my s1 RS4 as the stockers were cracked to shit.

Think they were the same as a r33 GTR. Pedders part number was EP9163. Got a very good price on them $110, 80 labour and 80 for 4 wheel alignment (includes using my rear toe and camber arms) and a suspension safety check

Kiwi, do they not go in easily?

How do the adjustables make a difference?

Getting them in is OK you can probably use a vise - getting them out is the hard part. With adjustable arms you can get more castor (gives straightline stability at speed) than even with the adjustable bushes.

given the bushes are only good for ~40k km, how long would the rose jointed arms last...

not that hard to get the bushes pressed in/out. take the arms out yourself, walk down to corner mechanic, pay ~20bux, take home, reinstall, drive to alignment.

my mechanic said my bushes were cracked / f**ked and wanted to change them for me.. $250. then i'd have to go and get a 4 wheel alignment too..

maybe just go to Pedders instead?? :happy: $270 all done with alignment sounds a bit better!

i've got a series 2. any different to the Series 1?

ahaha i'd change them myself if i actually knew what i was doing :)

but then u gotta pay for the alignment anyway!! :)

will get a quote from pedders :D and then i'll quote them what you quoted me! :)

series 2 the same . whiteline kca332 . r33 gtr . only about $100 trade . easy as to install .getting old ones out will require a shop vise . my old mans one that said 12 ton wouldnt do it .

new ones in is easy . cover with tire shine and squash in the vise . i spent an hour swearing and f**kin round before i tried what the guy at the shop told me . worked redicously easy

    • I have multiple bottles in a shed that gets hot, and I'm in SEQ, so it's humid. Maybe we test their theory... Anyone have a system to accurately measure moisture content in oil?
    • Yeah, that and throwing away opened, part used, closed back up bottles has got to be bullshit. Brake fluid sits in not-very-well sealed master cylinder reservoirs for literal years and keeps working (albeit we know we should flush it every couple of years - it actually still works). Anything kept in a bottle in the shed with a tightly capped lid has got to be a million times better than what has been in the car for the same length of time.
    • Wait, they're claiming UNOPENED fluid has a shelf life of only 18 months?
    • The plan is to get it out of the shed. The reality may fall some way short. But hope is as cheap as despair as they say. Will go a wide band I think. The coils are ok so maybe I’ll miss the $1500 on the R35 coils etc. Im still on the fence about a trigger kit. The HKS one looks nice ($1k) - not sure how it works with the Link or if Link prefer something else. Oil pressure is fine so I’m not that concerned there. Fuel pressure I’ll have a think about. The IAT got changed for the Link anyway as the old RB26 ones were really slow reacting and pretty poor. The Power FC just worked. Wasn’t terribly refined but it just worked. Probably made a mistake replacing it really. E85 isn’t available locally - it is 100+ kms away which puts it in the too hard basket. Lastly I understand Tunecorp in Perth are pretty good so was probably going there.   As for turbos is there are new age -5 drop in replacement? Turbos have come a long way in 20 years, everyone is big single which is fair enough but I prefer the old school complication of twins. Wasn’t chasing more power (well, not much more) but more efficiency would be ok.
    • I thought I'd share this....the shell is non genuine but they found or built a lot of the genuine parts. Plus, it is by far the best colour scheme of those years, the winfield once was particularly shit https://www.v8sleuth.com.au/written-off-inaugural-godzilla-recreated/
