Hi Guys

Have recently been trying to source a polyurethene Gearbox (manual) mount for my R33, I had a friend who bought one a while ago, I remember him showing me (probably about 2 years ago or around abouts). Ive talked to him about it and he swears he bought it off these forums along with a solid steering spacer (I think it was) and some drift pineapples. These parts were for his R32 but I cant seem to find where on here he got them from, nor can I find much anywhere else at all, have searched the forums, google and ebay and all I can find is a UAS Polyurethane one and the Nismo ones, Both over $200, alot more then he payed for his gearbox mout

I've also got a slightly worn D bush/mount for my front sway bar, and these are similar, the only place ive been able to find one is from the UK, which will do if I cant find them anywhere else. But i was wondering if anyone else has bought something maybe designed for a different car that is the same as the skyline sway bar bushes. I might end up pulling a bush off and taking it into pedders to try and match it but if anyone else has found a substitute or knows where I can get one it would make things alot easier.

I have found this on whiteline plus:

Sway bar Mount Front

but I measured my sway bar and it appears to be 22mm? Perhaps Ive measured the sway bar wrong, does anyone know if its 22mm or 20mm?

but anyway, I dont live near a Whiteline Plus stockist anyway so might be useless anyway

Any help would be appreciated

Car: 1994 Nissan Skyline R33 GTS-t Manual

Thanks

the solid sterring mount is available through gktech, i purchased one for 26beans from memory,i think he may do the gearbox mount also. KTS also do the mounts, as for the bushes possibly superpro through fulcrum?

Not after the steering spacer lol was just using it as extra info in case anyone remembered the trader on here :P But Thanks for that, Ill give GKTech an email, nothing on the webpage by the looks at it but cant hurt to ask.

Does KTS have a website? I havent heard of them before

And I'll see what I can find out of Fulcrum

Thanks for those suggestions, might be finally getting somewhere

Open to other suggestions as well though

Thanks

Callan

i think japaneseimportspares.com.au have kts gear if not Danny Vahoumis at japaneseperformancecentre.com.au might have some stuff, he had KTS last time i was in there. GKTech have a dealer page on nissansilvia.com also

Sweet

Thanks mate

I found that super pro make sway bar bushes for the front and rear, you just have to tell them your sway bar size, so theres a win there

Will check out those other sites you mentioned

Thanks again for that :)

hi mate, got a urethane gearbox mount assembly for sale in good condition

click here

this came off an R33 so its a direct bolt on, pm me if you're interested

btw i dont think steering spacer bush applies to R33 since its solid already, only R32s need it

Hi

Thanks for that. Yeah I only mentioned the steering spacer cause my mate bought a couple of things for his 32 from the same seller so just listed them all to see if anyone remembered who was selling them. The seller seems to have disappeared however :S

Ive just found an KTS one that I've literally just bought lol, otherwise I would have taken you up on your offer, thanks anyway but

For those looking for a gearbox mount in polyurethene then this is the link for where Im getting mine. They show a RB20/SR20 one but after emailing about R33 mounts they said they also do RB25 gearbox mounts.

Polyurethene Gearbox Mount

Thanks for the help everyone. Who knows how long I would have had to search to find these things lol

    • Hmm... From my experience you get about 0.25° camber change per mm of RUCA length change. So, to correct from -2.5 up to less than -1° (or, more than -1° if you look at the world as a mathematician does) then you'd be making 6-8mm of length change on the RUCA. From a stock length of 308mm, that's 2-2.5% difference in RUCA length. My RUCAs are currently very close to stock length - certainly only 2-3mm different from stock. I had to adjust my tension arms by 6mm to minimise the bump steer. That's 6mm out of 210, which is 2.8%. That's a 2.8% change on those, compared to a <1% change on the RUCAs. So the stock geometry already has worse bump steer than is possible - you can improve it even if you don't change the RUCA length. If you lengthen the RUCAs at all, then you will definitely be adding bump steer. Again, with my car, I recently had an unpleasant amount of bump steer, stemming from a number of things that happened one after another without me having an opportunity to correct for them. I only had to change the tension arm lengths by 1mm to minimise the resulting bump steer. (Granted, I also had to dial out a lot of extra toe-in in the rear, and excessive rear toe-in will make bump steer behaviour worse). Relatively tiny little adjustments having been made - the car is now completely different. Was horrifying how much it wanted to steer from the rear on any significant single wheel bump/dip. And it was even bad on expansion joints on long sweepers on freeway entry/exits, which are notionally hitting both rear wheels at the same time. My point is, the crappy Nissan multilink is quite sensitive to these things (unlike the very nice Toyota suspension!). And I think 99.75% of Skyline owners are blissfully ignorant of what they are driving around on. Sadly, it is a non-trivial exercise to set up to measure and correct bump steer. I am happy to show my rig, which involves nasty chunks of wood bolted to the hub, mirrors, lasers, graph paper targets and other horrors. Just in case anyone wants to see how it is done. I'll just have to set it up to take the photos.
    • What do you have in that bad boy ? Ill go with the 725cc since I'll be going with Nistune ( would definitely like more engine protection but Haltech is too far out of reach at the moment... plus, Ill probably have a pretty safe tune as its a daily, not gonna be chasing peak power 24/7 ahahah ). Are Xspurt a safe choice?  Pete's great. He didnt mention anything about traction arm length so I reckon it may be good. When I get some new wheels/tire later down the road I'll ask him about it and get his opinion on em. I heard from Gary that you've got the bilsteins too, are you running the sway bars too? and what other suspension goodies do you have installed or would recommend?
