I might have enough orders to place the r33 order now guys, so i'll be shooting off pm's in a few days about payment.

Others who are interested, let me know asap, otherwise you will have to wait until there is another batch of 5 people interested to get this low low price ;)

Seriously, these go for like $195 from UAS, and $266 from Noltec, so $155 is a damn good price.

Payment required for the r33/s13 bushes now guys. Others are waiting for theirs :D

Anyone else can still get in on this now. I may not do this again in the future at this price, so get in quick.

The whiteline versions are not complete bush replacements.

They are pineapples that simply compress the old bush to help stiffen up the std bush.

These bushes are 'stiff' as standard, you can then use the pineapples to angle the cradle down to help with traction.

yer, im not sure Whiteline actually make replacement subframe mounts, just pinapples as Cubes has mentioned.

Most people fit the pinapples as a bandaid solution to fix the flex in the rear subframe instead of replacing the oem mounts which these replace.

Or people tend to fit them damn alloy bush ones, which just crush the std bush down to make the rear subframe sit metal on metal, which aint good for NVH in the car.

These can be fitted along with the pinapple type to angle the cradle for traction, as also mentioned :P

edit: im keeping the gb open for a tad longer to get final numbers up, but it will be closing soon.

So I don't have to get the pinapples if I don't want to. If I simply want to make sure the subframe remains rigid under load then that's all I need?

So have you guys bought seperate pinapples to adjust traction then?

Nah you dont have to buy the pinapples if you dont want to. People fit them to stiffen up the mounting of the subframe to the car (which is what replacing these mounts does anyway). So you really just need these by themselves.

Im going to fit the pinapples as well while the subframe is out to set it up for traction. Basically i want to do all i can while the subframe is out to save having to drop it out again later.

The pic below shows where the pinapples go, these bushes are actually fitted to the subframe (see pic on first page) You need 4 small ones for traction.

i just got my pine apples today! i got them from otmotto, ben ellis advised me to use the 2large with cuts for the front and 2 small for the back for the traction set-up

OK, I'm convinced, what next? Will be at Adel 500 for the next 4 days so maybe Monday I'll organise payment.

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
