I recently purchased a set of subframe bushes for my r32 gtr. I had pulled the subftrame out myself and took it pedders to fit the bushes. The problem is when i put the diff/subframe back in the car the swaybar was touching on the tailshaft. The new bushes dont sit flush with the subframe on the top but they do on the bottom. Is this normal? i cant remember what the old ones looked like. The new ones have about a 1.5cm extension on them like the diagram i drew. I'm a bit worried they sent me the wrong bushes.

You may have GTST bushes. I think they are the same apart from a raised section on the GTST ones, like you have. As far as I know the subframe is the same for GTST and GTR but the mounting points on the main chassis are what differs. Whiteline Plus do subframe bushes now, their tech department may be able to shed more light on it?

Thanks for the info i'll look into it asap and let you know what they say.

It sounds like you have the correct bushes, the GTR ones stick up about 2cm from the subframe. There is also a large washer that sits on top of the bush and spaces it down even further.

I'd have to have a closer look but the tailshaft should clear the sway bar by miles. Are both the tailshaft and sway bar bolted in fully? sway bar only fits one way so it can't be that?

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
