hi jus searched through the forum about the costs of replacing and installing castor bushes but i couldnt find anything...

i was going to get a wheel allignement at JAX in Blacktown but found i shouldnt till i replaced my castor bushes as they were cracking.. they said for $320 installed they would fit nolathane fully adjustable castor bushes. is that about right?!. cuz i saw on groupbuys for suspension parts castor bushes are only about ~$100? am i getting rorted? or does install really cost that much lol...

thanks :D

thats pretty expensive... they dont take long to install, bout 30mins in a workshop. they will supply the bushes and then charge you full rrp instead of the price they got them for, but they will include a wheel alignment with this.

your probly better off buyin the bushes in the group buy, takin them the bushes and tellin em to put em in and wheel align the car

should only be ~$40 for the labour and ~$60 for the wheel alginment

I got quoted 330 with alignment for installation of bushes.. Most of the cost is labour..

Anyways i have decided to go with adjustable castor rods instead. being 150 for rods plus around 120 for installation with alignment..

Hope that helps.

      Yeah, I don't believe the M35 uses a deadhead system.

      Have you done your thinking backwards? 3 bar, 43.5 psi pressure drop being the presumed specification for an injector, means you need 3 bar upstream when they are firing into atmospheric pressure, and more upstream pressure than that when on boost (you add your boost to your rail pressure to maintain 3 bar across the injector) and you need..... less pressure upstream when you have vacuum in the manifold. So, presuming that you're idling at -10 psi, then you only need ~23 psi in the rail. I realise that I did not need to say all of that to you specifically Matt, once you'd realised your mistake. It's mostly there for complete clarity for others.

      Have you reached out to the guys at Spool Imports? They are a Ross dealer, I can imagine they would have the rings just sitting on the shelf (I could be wrong).

      Back for more after 18 years - and where are the longnose R200 LSDs?

      There's one for sale at Grand Auto Wreckers in Lonsdale (SA), for .... let's suggest the sum they're asking for will make you cry. You may have to embrace the idea of modifying the rear subframe to accept some other diff. You could probably find a way to wangle a shortnose into there, with a custom rear adapter and some sort of shenanigans to relocate the front mounts. This has probably already been done by others, so there might be some guidance available as to how easy/impossible it is, out there in the googles. But you possibly needn't restrict yourself to Nissan diffs if you're going to contemplate that. There are similarish Toyota diffs, possibly some Euro ones, possibly some Seppo ones.

      The ball joint taper and arm taper have to match angle and diameter, but just doing the bushes is a much better option.....seems like the industry moved to "it is cheaper to replace the whole arm than take on the labour for changing this bushes", glad the aftermarket supports it
