Hey guys

I'm reshelling my R33 after it got written off

Anyway I dropped the rear subframe yesterday, I knew the subframe bushings were gonna be cactus and they sure are.

Anyways I'm thinking I want to go with a hard bushing kit, I like it riding stiff, it's got BC gold coilovers in the rear, I want to do the diff bushings too

Been told GKtech are ok but what do u guys think? I don't want to do this again, because it's taken ages working all this shit out

I think the front end is all Nolathane, don't know how bad they are yet because I haven't dropped the front yet

Any input would be awesome, also is there anything else I should be doin while its out? I'm deleting hicas and just subframe and diff bushings

It's a daily driven car, won't see much track

Didn't realise what I was getting myself in to with this rebuild lol

New Nissan/Nismo rubber are fine.  I think people like Hardrace also have uprated (harder) rubber bushes.  When I did similar to you (complete refurbish of rear end) I just used rubber ones.  You can add pineapples on top of that if you like.

Polyurethane ones do make it noticeably crashier and more harsh.

Hardrace harden rubber ones are good. No squirm/less and they won't crumble like urethane after a certain age.

You could go solid alloy but the road noise will be intense.

    • Yeah, I'm not interested in wetting the carpets, and I don't care about brown dirt/dust that lives deep in the pile or underneath. It's not like I crawl around on them in my birthday suit or eat dropped food off them (because there is never any open food in my car). The seats are alcantara (cheap Chinese imitation alcantara, to be sure!) with barely 1" of foam pad behind the surface. That's not getting wet either. Any car that I would be happy to get the interior wet, I would not care to put the effort into.
    • We have one that holds 2.8L of water. On floor carpet that hasn't been touched in 2 or 3 years, will take a minimum of 2 fills of the tank to do a bedroom, and that's going AROUND the bed.   In the cruiser, I used an ENTIRE 2.8L tank, just on the front passenger footwell. But it had some fungus growing, and had been full of mud from being used as a 4WD for many years. I can do that floor again, and it will still pull mud out. However, the water now only looks dirty, not pitch black and leaving full sludge in the bottom of the tank it sucks back into. Oh, and, this is about a $1500 unit.
    • This is mine, works a treat for the cars, suction is good, I use the Bissell clean and protect stuff I have found giving it a good spray and light scrub with the soft brush on the head of the nossle for carpet, and a rub with a microfibre for cloth seats and cloth door trims, prior to another quick spray before vacuuming it up works the best @GTSBoy You would surprised on what it gets out of carpet and seats that actually "look" clean, I recommend that you test drive yours when you have a little time to kill, then post pics of the muddy looking water that I believe you will find
    • I think even the "commercial" capacity ones that you would hire from supermarkets etc wouldn't have the capacity to do all that much in one go. I will go through half a dozen tanks of solution and dumps/rinses of the waste tank for one little 2 seat sofa. Or similar for one 6 footish rug. That's the price you pay for something small that only takes up a bit of cupboard space, instead of something that takes up the entire laundry cupboard or half the shed.
    • Someone needs to copy it, improve it aesthetically, make it DBW ready from day 0 and send it to the motherland Chynah for my relatives to cast it and mass produce it 😅
