Hi guys,

As I'm sure everyone knows I'm going through a huge round of upgrades to the GTR. Whilst this is happening I thought of diff bushes.

Nismo make the following bushes:

55470-RS580 NISMO Diff Mount Bush (rear)

55476-RS580 NISMO Diff Mount Bush (front)

55474-RS580 NISMO Diff Mount Bush (front upper)

55475-RS580 NISMO Diff Mount Bush (front lower)

They are not cheap with the prices being approx as follows:

$100 each

$20 each

$10 each

$12 each

And my guy in japan seems to think I need 2 of each so we are talking $300 worth of bushes here.

Now I'm guessing the two front ones are easy to replace but how hard is it to put the front and rear halves of the rear bushes into the cradle? does the whole thing have to be removed. and are there any local options that are better or cheaper? or is $300 for the set about right?

Thanks :)

absolute disaster to replace the rear bushes, I can't see how you would do it with the cradle in.

UAS sell full set in urethene for under $100.

I picked up a set the other day to do because the diff was out, and they are the only bushes I haven't done.

Then I looked at it, didn't have a press and was in a rush so I didn't even start.

Anyway....I can swap them for caster rods if you want lol

Get the full kit N-55401-RS590

Full retail from link international is $349 (they have stock too) so im sure you would get it cheaper at trade or through your mate T04Z at autobarn (they are all in the autobarn system.. i think i loaded them about a fortnight ago)

N-55401-RS590; Includes 2 of 55470-RS580, 2 of 55476-RS580, 2 of 55474-RS580, and 2 of 55475-RS580

oh yeah SOB of a job too :(

      Well, fun day was had, I finally found a house that will do me just fine, 1980's brick build, but with full fresh renovations, plus new colour bond fencing all round so puppies are incoming 🐕, and water tanks for the garden, and it's located in West Goulburn..... @Duncan 🫡, so day trips to Wakie to watch cars going Zoom will be on the cards In the end it cost well under my budget and was actually better than alot of the more expensive joints I was looking at, it is in a good area, close enough to the shops, public transport, and the Wollondilly River Weir,  and the great walking paths along the river, but far enough away from town to see minimal traffic The deposit is dropped, the conveyancer is conveyancing and I should get the keys in a week or 2 as the property is currently unoccupied  As with everything I own, I'm doing up a modifications list, as it doesn't have solar, that is first up on the big list, all of the panels and enough batteries to keep the joint warm, or cool, followed by a largish carport out the front, the small list, which will start as soon as I have keys, is some security stuff, like cameras, screens, and the usual "crazy prepper" additions that weird old people like (mouse holes to stick shot guns out of, and the usual man traps that the average person installs for the unsuspecting and unwanted guests 🤣) The gardens front and back are OK, but, not to my standards or liking, so landscaping will be a fun job to start getting into, so when spring is sprung I'll do a heap of planting, lots of natives and vegetables is the plan, the old owners were more "Old English Garden" type, so basically Roses and other weird looking things that are destined for the green waste bin One thing that is staying garden wise is a nice established hedge out the front, it is about 5 foot tall and covers the whole front of the property from prying eyes As for the car hoist, the roof in the garage has some height to it, but, I'll need to get an installer out to see what can be done, width wise may be a issue, but my building inspector will be getting back to me over the next week with his recommendations  Small, but cosy

      I tried to get in contact before I went to QLD you didn’t respond, then I tried to contact you in r31 club.  I thought you fell off the earth or something haha.  I will grab it off you but unknown when I will be up that way

      Crank Motorsports Front Axles

      I think that might be in the question. He is going very low, and I think the standard GTR ones are simple tripod joints (like the rear NA/S chassis ones), not proper CVs (like R chassis turbo/GTR ones). Proper CVs take the misalignment better than tripods.

      I haven't used the Crank Motorsport ones, but can I ask why not use standard gtr/gts4 axles at the front? They would easily cope with that power level. BTW.....sounds like quite the project!
