hey guys. i have recently noticed a small patch of vaseline type goo on my garage floor. i didnt think anything of it as i have small children but the patch has got bigger. after some investigation i found it on the underside of my car. it is under one of the main suspension linkages ( in front of the back wheel). are any of the bushes filled with goo ? i have recently also noticed a slight clunk from the rear end and i am assuming that the two are connected.

do i have goo in my bush ? :P any one else with a similar problem?

the car in question is a R32 GTR. prices for replacment ? ease of fittment?

thanks guys

most likely one of your front castor rod bushes (liquid filled) is cracked... standard items are cheap enough to replace.. and on a r32 i'd be looking at the condition of all your suspension components due to age, weat n tear.

if it's the castor rod bushes, i'd recommend some aftermarket pillowball items.. but some people on this site will disagree and say use whiteline offset bushes instead :)

it's acid. your car has an alien hiding in the chassis. :P

sounds like a split bush. if it's near the back it could be the cradle bushes, hopefully not; i understand the cradle needs to be removed to replace them but i've never tried it. noltec make solid bushes for the cradle.

'...are you a female...' :lol:

two front subframe bushes are filled with silicon, rear two (up by spare wheel well are solid). expensive to replace if you pay someone else, looking at 10 hours labour + parts.

I uploaded a how to on this a while ago, dont know if it ever got into the tutorials tho.

I did it myself, only getting help when I was refitting the subframe back to the vertical bolts. It is a Tricky job but not impossible if you think it through and are careful.

    • Dear folks My family members have 4 different cars : Triton 2015 and Corolla 2011 and Mazda3 2012 and Hyundai Elantra 2014 Looking to buy engine oil funnel spill free What I found are are below  https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0BBTTJNKX?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image&th=1 https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/145553221359?srsltid=AfmBOoqYBU6Ptw0LU_bAp_k67U3qkF97HHvePkA7iHZw8vUmiwoIRaRr https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09X23TCS5?th=1 Is there a funnel with attachment that fits most cars ? Don't mind to spend for a decent quality  Thx  
    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
