Bush Selection

[Turbz_13]

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.

have heard this as well. but still only rumours.

I've had mine in for 3 years so far with no obvious wear....so they don't seem to be any worse than factory

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

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.
