Subframe Bushes For Stageas....

[Bronx]

Hey, just got my old rear subframe bushes out and now looking at buying new ones as the frame is being powedercoated. This is for a C34 stagea, none of that M35 shit here

Now, my questions are:

Are they the same as the silvias and skylines??? I know the s15 and s14 subframes fit into the C34 stageas, but with a couple of mods, are the mods bushes related?

Also where is the best place to get them from?? All I find are from UK and even then they are the solid aluminium ones. They might be a bit noisy for a road car.

Thanks for the help Fellas and Fellettes

Not sure if they are the same or make specific C34 bushes but I used a set of nismo main cradle bushes in my 180SX. A lot firmer than stock with out being as hard as alloy. I got them from greenline.jp.

thanks, didnt realise they were so damn expensive tho, all the ones i found were the 120 mark incl shipping... but then again, they were aluminium.

i did a google search and google never helped me find any useful information...... figured, google + stagea = shit

Nismo bushes are better than the poly bushes as not as harsh for a daily driven car but still around 30% stiffer than stock.

$199 is not a bad price; RRP is $225.

If you like I can see if a better price is possible?

[Bronx]

sure. would be much appreciated if you could see if you can find a better price.

AFAIK they all (skyline/silvia/stagea) use the same outer size bush. there are some differences in how high the bush sits above the subframe (causing a gap), and the r32 v r33/r34 bushes also have the centre hole offset in the bush.

So...it is very likely stagea matches one of the other cars....but I have nfi which one. If I was guessing I would go r33 gtr.

[Duncan]

I said bush.

and hole.

But failed to mention mount and flange. Passing grade anyway

I've been looking at these Bushes and the W92447 kit is recommended for R32 GTR/GT4, R33GTR and R34 GTR

I can do them for $170 a set. Postage to pretty much anywhere in Australia; won't go over about $10

As Duncan has intimated; The gap is indeed set by how far up the bush sits in the subframe, and also gives an idea of the optimum penetration of the bush.

It can also influence the centre hole offset; but generally in a good way.

I can has Double Entendré?

hahahaha

PM me your details and ill sort it out with you.

Also, are these slightly stiffer than standard ones?

Yep definitely; but they don't use bone jarring hard grades of Polyurethane in the Whiteline ones.

I'll PM you tonight.

Lucky there is no subframe clam, beaver, golden donut (although the whiteline subframe bushes come in yellow polyurethane).

[Duncan]

sorry i stop at single entendre. double is too complex for me.

just trying to make sure the tone of the stag section is as low as the forced induction bullshit section in time for school holidays

one final tip, always lube the shaft before you put it into the bush, otrherwise it can be tricky for everyone.

In the words of Jamie Hyneman (Mythbusters); "With enough lubrication; anything is possible!"

I just looked at the link, it says they need to be installed into the original shell, so I'm assuming u need to leave the outer casing of the standard bush in the cradle and fit them into that?

I really don't know; I never installed them.

Also, Bronx had an issue with the bushes; the Stagea appears to have one pair of GTS-t bushes in the front, and one pair of GTR bushes in the rear.

Definitely worth checking bush lengths prior to ordering.
