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.

    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
