hey, during the past week, my friends r33 developed a leak somewhere from the front on the left side, it was leaking some thick, translucent greasy stuff and i think its a dead bush, but i dont know what the part its leaking from is called, here's a pic, do any of u guys have an idea of what it is and how to fix it, can the dead bush, if that is the case, be replaced with pineapples

yes that is def your castor buses, pretty hard to do your self so best to take it to a work shop to do it,

mine were like that but i then decided to get them replaced with a polyurethane bush kit that superpro make, for a few $ more i went for adjustable castor bushes, which gives you adjustable castor, to help tune in more wheel alignment specs to help the car drive straight,

when your stock bush completely drains out, you might notice that the car will pull to one side, but its not something that will cause immediate dramas

workshops shouldnt charge a hell of a lot in terms of hours, its only a few bolts, then they have to press the old bush out and put the new one in (extremly hard to do your self) then it will need a wheel alignment

the part numbers for an r33 for the superpro bush kit

-1202k - direct standard spec replacment

-1202AK - adjustable caster(worth it )

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
