I'm am going to replace all the dead rubber bits in the rear end of my R32 GTR. I'm contemplating going poly bush's for the subframe and for the diff bush's but not if its going to make alot of noise. The car is a daily driver with the aim of some track/skid pan work in the near future.

I'm wondering if its possible if there is someone around the Blacktown - Castle Hill area (I live in Quakers Hill) that could maybe take me for a spin so that I can actually hear for myself whether I can tolerate the noise if there is actually any.

Or

Are there any events/cruises coming up that I could come along to and get someone to take me for a spin?

Or

If its pretty unanimous that harder bush's are going to make alot of noise, then I will just get rubber.

Regards

Josh

I have solid alloy subframe and diff mounts, with a 2 way. I daily drive mine. They are a bit noisier but it's not extreme. Obviously depends what you're willing to live with. If you're ever up the this way I'll take you for a spin.

Only adding to the above 2 posts which are very good; Andrew McClelland or another staff member such as Pat from Wholesale Suspension at Blacktown can offer you advice after going out in your own car.

30three kindly came by my mates house and took me for a quick spin. The only noise was a little bit of diff whine. I have heard exhausts, tyres and brakes make more annoying noises from other cars than what was coming out of his.

I have decided on solid subframe bush's and nismo diff bush's.

Thanks guys

      There's probably an underlying issue with the A/C system too. I recently fixed mine, now it's fully control by the Haltech and car's factory HVAC controller  Have a squiz here:

      And by the way, I've also checked the ECU diagnostic numerous times and got a bad O2 sensor code and initially an Ignition Primary code, which is why I replaced the O2 sensor and all the ignition components (coil packa, plug and loom). No codes have been coming up lately despite the ongoing issue.

      Hey pber13, unfortunately still no luck. At this point the following has been done with little or no success: - Spark plugs replaced, gapped to 0.8mm - Splitfire coilpacks installed to replace originals - Replaced Ignition Coil/Coilpack harness with a new genuine nissan one - New fuel filter - Replaced AFM/MAF sensor - Injectors have been thoroughly cleaned with an online flush (without removing) - Upper engine and inlet decarbed - blew tons of black smoke out, cleared the carbon deposits from the top of the engine and exhaust.  - IACV removed and thoroughly cleaned with carburettor cleaner - O2 sensor replaced with new and genuine one -  Smoke test revealed no vacuum leaks - Healthy compression test of 160psi across all 6 cylinders Overall the car does run a lot smoother now, no backfires between gear shifts like it did originally... but the rough idle when warmed up is still there. It may not even be a misfire but simply a rough idle. Seems crazy to me that so many people have had this issue and seemingly no one has gotten to the bottom of it, or at least never bothered to post if they did! Hope you have more luck than I did pber13, I'm at a point now where I'm just going to try to ignore it unless it gets worse. Would love to fix it but I've genuinely run out of ideas of what it could be.

      I got the full frenchys kit too. Really awesome kit. Easy to install my only complaint was the hardlines I think could be routed differently (I modified mine) but I realise the kit needs to suit multiple applications. This was the hard lines before I modified them. They were touching the wastegate pipe. I ended up reducing the distance between firewall and first bend. The made it so they tucked along the frame rail.

      Deeve, I don't suppose that you've made any progress on this? My Stagea has the exact same problem, and just like you, I've read through as much as I can online, with no real progress. My car isn't throwing any codes at all, which is a little frustrating. I've changed plugs, checked the wiring and harness. A new MAF gets here next week, but I'm not hopeful it will solve the issue.
