how ya going people?

now im in the market for some bushes for my gtr but there are just so many brands out there now offereing the lot! so i was just wondering what everyones opinions on the different brands would be.

yellow being whiteline, blue being noltec, unsure the name of the red ones. and then the nismo items

who has used what? and what were they like compared to the standard ones.

i like the look of the nismo ones but they are fairly dear compared to the rest.

the car will remain a street car, with lower coilovers and big wheels if this will effect the choice

well thanks for the help, James

well all of the nolethene bushes are pretty much the same, whiteline, noltec and superwhatever. they are a fair bit harder than standard but very good price

nissan and nismo bushes are more appropriate for a raod car but far cheaper. the nismo bushes are nowhere near as hard as the nolethene ones.

Nissan/nismo are generally speaking rubber nismo normaly harder rubber

nolethane etc. are urethane generally harderish than rubber

color is just a dye though urethane is available in a variety of hardness's (durometer) too, to my knowledge none of the brands advertise the durometer they use?

Not entirely skyline related but have found that things like body to chassis bushings go rubber, real chassis like a 4WD I mean, for comfort

If its a bush that holds steering angles etc urethane, especially for performance applications ie. Skylines

Just my 2c

i just did my front bushes in my skyline. i got super pro "blue" apparently they mainfacture the whitleine stuff for them. i took out my whiteline bushes "only 1yr old" in comparison the super pro was a little bit firmer than the whitlelines. so far they feel good and no noises. As far as other brands Ive heard stories about nolathane bushes decaying quickly but i cant comment first hand.

i used to work for noltec.

they make good quality stuff. and they should tell you what hardness they are when buying them.

from what i remember they have 70 and 8 durometer...

personally i think that superpro are the best. and nolathane are junk

Anyone had problems with whiteline bush's started to install my group buy camber bush's for the rear and one of the bush's was actually cracked about 80-90% through before I even opened the packet. Pissed, now I gotta chase down some more parts and pull it all apart again

Maybe it wont be so hard the second time :D

My brother is a mechanic and he recently attended a 'trade night' where they had someone from nolathane explain how the company has had a rethink and now their bushes are using a new softer urathane that wears better and is better for NVH issues.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
