Too wide across the 30mm measurement. As in the lips on the bush, sit a bit too far past the edge of the bracket.

Also too wide across the 33mm measurement, such that it's quite difficult to get into the bracket. I could remove material in that direction but would still have the issue with the lips sitting too far out across the 30mm measurement.

Ability to move around inside the bracket back and forth as the lips are not being used to assist in retaining the bush. I assume though that most of the force used to keep the bush in the cup comes from being pressed against the car itself by the bracket.

I'm going to grab the bushes and quickly re-test them on the way home. From memory it was a good 1mm per side that they were too wide.

Surely there should just be a damn bush that fits when everyone talks about this being a "bolt on" mod. Nobody else seems to have ever mentioned changing brackets or modifying bushes.

I'm also considering that if I thin the bush too much it could wear through/tear at those thin points rather than just using the right bush/bracket.

Valid point.

I will re-test them on the way home. Just annoyed that this is supposed to be such a simple mod yet nobody has documented this which makes me think I'm missing something, wrong bracket, requires certain bush, etc.

Putting one of these into my S13, but unsure what D Bush to buy. SuperPro has them up to 24mm, but the bar seems to be 25mm (admittedly measured with adjusting shifter with measuring marks, tape backs this up but both could be 1mm out). I've also read some people state t's 26mm. Nolathane lists odd sizes.

Can any shed one some light on this?

Also do I need to use grease on the bushes when installing them? Seems to be a lot o conjecture around this also.

A standard rear R32 GTR anti roll bar has an outside diameter of 25.4mm or 1" in old school imperial. Says so in the service manual.

Cross your fingers that they line up with the bolt holes on the car! The reason I slimmed down the front bushes on my car is that there wasn't room to fit a D with a bigger size between the stud and bolt hole. Any bigger D bracket I tried (not that I did) almost certainly would not have lined up with the fasteners.

Just did quick test fit. Brackets will fit car.

Just hit them with some primer and will satin black them later because I don't like the natural colour.

If I get a chance I'll fit the rear bar later but have been playing daddy day care while the missus is sick and out of comission.

    • That ring thing is interesting how it's holding everything together 
    • Hey guys. I have a 400R on its way to Australia from Japan currently and have a few questions I’m hoping others may be able to help with.   Wondering if anyone here has had any luck getting the Sat nav unit to work in Australia!? Assuming the Stereo is as simple as a band expanded and tv won’t work?  Seeing as they’re based off a Q50 which is Aus delivered is there any way to link that system to the nav? Nav modules and head unit are different part numbers and appear slightly different at the rear with plug ins etc. can I put my xtrail sd card into the rv37 and will that convert the maps or update to Australian? Has anyone got any advice here?     also has anyone fitted the factory remote start and Security system once it’s landed in Australia? I put an enquirey to Nissan Japan in via a third party, and they suggested it needs a Nissan Japan dealers device to setup and couldn’t guarantee if one here could do it or not. They can supply and I can physically fit it but to setup I would need a dealers device. Any information here would be appreciated also. I’ve seen one here with it fitted already prior to leaving Japan at a dealer/inporter, so clearly passes compliance and works when fitted Japan and doesn’t need changing here.      also, does the tyre inflation sensors work here? Does anything change with them when the vehicle arrives? Where are they actually situated? I’ve read they have batteries and they need to changing at times and seems like resetting involves the nav system?    any help here would be appreciated and any other aust specific information to help would be great. Looking forward to see what the current generation skyline is like and eager to see how many of the gadgets can be utilised here.  Thanks in advance 
    • Do need to take it with a pinch of salt. One of the adapter failures, they clearly had setup issues with the flywheel.  One of the slipping ones I spoke to and it was pretty clear the throwout was riding, rather than fix, just swapped to a new clutch.    These clutches are being put in anything from 5k offroad 4x4 beaters, GR yaris, 500hp commodores to 1200hp barra monsters. Bound to be some issues in some of them when they are not a simple bolt in affair due to the changes in height.    There is a lot going on in this picture and unless I did the job myself no way to tell what really happened. 
    • I did this mod in 2019  You just have to modify the top bracket of the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU so it sits more upright and closer to the back seat and run a good quality positive battery lead from the engine bay, the negative lead i just bolted down to the body in the boot.
    • Damn... Not the feedback I want to hear.
