Iv only used polyeurathane ones like nolthalene ones. They are heaps easier to fit cause you only have to cut out the old bushing and push in the new one. Instead of pushing out the entire metal Thingo that goes around the rubber bush. Unsure about the price for the control arm bushes but I'm getting a set of rear subframe mounting bushings for my r32 for about $80 on the weekend.

Hope that helps a little

The best rear lower control arm bushes by far are Cazman Industries Delrin bushes. They're like a solid HARD plastic that doesn't wear. WAY better service life than rose joints with all the advantages. For the upper bushes, I'd recomment SuperPro. If the car is lowered, put offset bushes on both ends of the camber arms, the outsides of the traction arms and the outside of the toe arms. Put normal centered bushes on the inside ends of the traction rods and toe arms.

This will make your camber and bump steer really, really good.

So U want:

- Cazman Industries rear lower control arm bush kit

- 2x SuperPro SPF1869K

- 1x SuperPro SPF2296K

Use one pair of offset bushes from one of the 1869 kits on the outer toe arm bushes and use the centered outer toe arm bush from the 2296 kit on the insides of the traction arms.

Set all offset bushes to max length setting.

    • A little follow up here on the ceramic coating.  We've had storms galore here and I've done a few ks, enough to gross them up  Consensus is that they didn't get as dirty as usual, the coating definitely repelled a little of the dirt and I think they kinda snowball. They get a little dirty and then they get dirty faster which makes sense. Cleaning them regularly would allow them to protect better.  Cleaning was a breeze. I tried first to just hose them off which, unsurprisingly, did nothing. But, making the wheels wet and then just wiping them over with a used but clean microfibre cloth was all that was required. I didn't need any cleaner at all, just water and a cloth. The wheels look amazing again.
    • Gave her a nice wash today and took extra time to clean off the tree sap and tar and crap. We have a usable garage now so she'll stay cleaner longer. Took a few snaps in some nice light afterwards.   
    • OK, solid mount Z1 diff brace is in, pretty straightforward, it picks up 3 diff hat bolts and ties them to 2 support bolts on the subframe. Pretty sure someone else on here said they had reduced axle tramp with this but mine was already pretty good for smooth wheelspin, and still is....will see you this goes over time and whether I end up with a broken rear diff hat
    • Ah yes, but the part in my hand was actually painted and fitted by me! I knew any front lip was likely to be sacrificial but I've had to fix it twice already... by the time I buy a fibreglass fixing kit, sort out sandpaper blocks, buy some fibreglass filler, body bog, spend the time and effort for a 'Greg' result... a new one being $290 seems like it's the better way to go and spray that with bedliner/raptor coat and we're all pretty again.. Would have preferred it last more than a month though. Them's the breaks I suppose.
    • I find it funny that the USA is finding out all this really really weird stuff, and people from the USA are coming here treating it like gospel, yet, all the info on solving those issues is here on these forums for the last 15 odd years... Also, I know how much heat it takes to ignite the hood lining of an R33 skyline. I worked it out myself... It also took a LOT of time, and heat for it to do it... Big single, and I needed to drive the car, so retarded the timing off to "protect it". Yeah, that was a bad move for cruising on a freeway with only 15 degrees of timing on it. That was a lesson I learned around 2009. So that's over 15 odd years ago. Aligning water and oil, that's identical for any turbo engine, it's not Japanese specific. If a shop doesn't know how to make sure the core is rotated the right way, then they shouldn't be touching any turbo engine. That's not a matter of "We haven't had Skylines for that long here"...
