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?

    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
