Hi guys,

looked under the car with my mech yesterday and found that the bushes on both side of the car has cracked.

Sorry i don't have a photo but the on the front lower arm of the car, the bushing that is towards the back of the car is the one i'm referring to.

It would cause the wearing out the front tyres quick.

Nissan would only sell them bushes WITH the arm, like $200+ each side

Anybody used these replacement bushes before? R these the correct ones?

Same thing happened to mine, I went through nissan and had both sides done inc. labour for $180 a side.

It wasn't long after that that I saw that you were able to just replace the bushes, and yes they will be the bushes that you are after.

Been there, done that. Nissan NZ quoted me NZD$400+ (might have been closer to $500 - can't remember exactly) per side for the whole arm so you got off lightly with that quote!

As per the last post you definitely can replace just the bushes. Mine were done under a mechanical warranty, and the warranty co told Nissan to get stuffed with the quote for the arms and instead sourced just the bushes themselves and supplied those to the dealer. Got fitted with no dramas - now no more nasty squeaks from the front of the car.

This is a quote i got a few months back on the parts

    • Hah, I have no issues with what you are doing whatsoever! You clearly know what you are getting yourself into. It's just funny reading things like this. "What's that noise?" "Oh, that's normal. That's just the engine not getting any oil. Nothing to worry about. It'll go away in a moment"  
    • Yeah I'm keeping an eye on it and might take it out as a once off if this doesn't fully charge. I did some research that said it's normal in equalisation charging. Voltage I thought was 20+ (faulty battery in multimeter) but now its on 15.9v, the max it should go to is 16.2v as per the manual. I'll provide an update once hopefully it's actually fully charged and in float mode. Waiting for it to go to 16.2v and not higher and see what happens. What I suspect has happened is that even though it's not an old battery, I did leave the car turned off for almost 4 weeks at one point then left it off for another 2 weeks which might have erroded the battery and is taking a long time to do this equlisation charge.
    • I wouldn't be using the seats a lot since it's on Historic rego and will not be driven a lot, however I also don't want to fork out 3k for something that won't last. Havent looked at BRZ seats, aiming for something of the same era I did speak to him on the phone once, and I do see your point haha. How many kms do you think you drove before they started wearing out? Just had a look at yours, certainly looking for a reclinable version. The Brides don't look too bad! I would still like to sit in one just to make sure it's what I'm after.    Thanks for the replies fellas. 
    • I bought my Bride reps from Crank Motorsport. He is, um, a trifle disorganised. I would have to look back at the e-mails to make sure I got it right, but I think he sent me normal fabric ones when I ordered the "Alcantara" ones. So he had to pay for shipping 3x and I'm sure that f**ked him off big time. And asking technical questions where nuanced English is required is a no go. It's simple English only. And....should I have bought the Alcantara ones? Well, as it turns out, they are great, feel great, etc, but the fabris wore through on the point of the waist bolster in <2 years. Must have caught a rip from a rivet on jeans or shorts, or something like that. So now I have to patch it somehow. A bit shit. My fault, ultimately, because it is Chinesium Faux Alcantara, not the real thing, and it turns ot that it has the tear resistance of a soggy tissue. But the seats and the reails are great. I probably should have gotten the R34 style ones, and now that they price is up in that ridiculous sort of number, I could have sold them for a profit!
    • Another recco is to just let it rest for a while and go back and reconnect later.
