Howdy All, A little while ago i went to pedders for the 28 point suspension check and in that they found excessive movement in my Upper Bushes ( 4D ) and my radius Bushes ( TE )where stressed. Since then my front right sounds like my tyre is hitting guard and makin a rubbin sound when i turn right. i have inspected the tyre

So basicly i have no idea What the Upper Bushes are or Radius Bushes, ive been on the Whiteline Webby and with my luck have found alot of stuff that makes no sense to me.. Eg bush kit rad rod to chassis, caster adj kit radius rod bush, bush kit control arm up and so on.

so could any one inform me to what these are conected to and what i might need to look at to replace this asap as i need to get the car blue slip'd and need this to be done before Sept.

Thanks in advanced Deano

If you have a look in the group buy section you will find both radius rod bushes and upper arm bushes available in sydneykid's r32gtst group buy.

Are you talking front or rear upper arm bushes btw?

If you are stuck i have a set of nolathane bushed front uppers for sale at the moment. They have done maybe 5k on the car.

Camber kit ($183), replaces upper inner control arm bushes and facilitates adjustment of the camber

Caster kit ($110), replaces the radius rod bushes and facilitates adjustment of the caster

    • oh they were with that motor, you need to remove the engine to change the spark plugs (don't have to, but it does make it easier)
    • I certainly fall into the annoyed camp, but glad to hear that if it's happening at low boost then I'm not likely going to blow a turbo and end up with metal shards in my oil. Just feels like it prevents me from really driving it without hesitation and "peak" performance. Wonder if it's the VCAM, it did an impressive job of shifting the torque curve and faster spool, but maybe now it's "too fast" and there's too much air for how open the throttle is.  Based on some other threads, will also do some reading on synchronizing the actuators. They are the default actuators that come on the Garrett's and I would think they would be set the same coming from the factory, but if the turbos don't actually work exactly the same way at the same time as previously mentioned, it would be worth making sure the actuators are actuating together properly
    • I went down this rabbit hole before, ended up sourcing a motor from the UK (I'm in Japan) which also didn't function correctly. With the original motor, I disassembled it and reassembled it and it works somewhat, sometimes. What I could deduce from all my screwing around is that there is calibration of the gears on the inside of the motor and two ramps on the main gear which activate switches that operate the motor and move the sunroof either to retract into the roof or tilt. Where I got stuck was that, it seemed in my case that one or both of the switches that are activated by the ramp on the gear did not always activate and thus the motor did not move, causing it to sometimes not retract or tilt (apologies, I've forgotten which way it didn't work.).  Of course this part is discontinued at Nissan now, it's the same part in the S15 but no other models. I also contacted the manufacturer of the component for schematics - forgot the name, they're based in Gifu - but they declined to share the information due to being bound by an NDA, sadly. Looking through my pictures now, it seems I last had a crack at this in 2022. See, I so kindly wrote "open" and "close" next to the switches. If you figure it out, please do tell me. Those little switches, with the red buttons may need to be replaced.
    • It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣
