R32 GTR overhaul/change of parts

[Dose Pipe Sutututu]

FWIW, I've used all GKTech, diff bushings are about 5 years old, still look the same (has probably seen a good coupe of hundred laps on the circuit too) Subframe bushing is about 1.5 years old now. Car has seen half a dozen track days since the subframe work and no bush deformation or cracking.

Hoping I don't ever have to touch it again (hoping I don't own the car long enough to change them again lol).

PLEASE DONT use WHITELINE BULLSHIT BUSHES.

My rear diff bushings were destroyed after just a few 1000 k's.. and yes, they were done by a reputable shop. Replaced with Nismo bushings and its perfect.

 

If the subframe is off, then it pays to replace all, especially if they have some age on them.

Thanks. Thats what i thought, the brand whiteline itself seems Sketchy and bad. Which one did you use for the subframe?

Sadly whiteline. I think for subframe bushings, it might be ok as it doesnt really 'move' much. Even though, having viewed the whiteline and Nismo subframe bushes, If I had known before, I would have happily splashed out a bit extra for the Nismo ones.

Nothing wrong with Whiteline bushes. They wear out the same as any other urethane bush in suspension arm bushes. But they should last a long time in a static bush.
