one of my rear subframe bushes has been leaking and im starting to get knocking, i know its a massive job to replace them.

now i doubt putting the poly pineapples on would do much but will the Alloy Subframe Bushes do the job?

i know its a band-aid fix but i'd really like to avoid spending 12hours under the car!

im talking about these

is it worth putting these in or should i just bite the bullet and change the bushes?

yeah these will lock it down solid, but the in cabin noise will increase by a fair bit. when i had to do the same in my 32 i went for taking the car off the roar for a week, i had another to drive, worked on it a little bit each arvo after work and changed the bushes for a set of Noltec ones.

i dont know if you can still get noltec bushes, you'll have to check, but its your only real other option. the in cabin noise only increased by a little bit with them, nowhere near as much as a set of the solid mount ones though.

I used the alloy subframe mounts in my R32 GTR. only a minor increase in noise. Barely noticeable over the exhaust anyway. You can get them for less than $150 and fit them in under an hour at home so why not try them?

Everyone told me i'd get a huge increase in noise, i put in solid subframe and diff mounts and it was exactly the same as before.... i noticed a difference in the way the car handled and i didn't mind it

well if they dont work i will have to buy new bushes and i will have wasted $135 on the alloy bushes....

i'd like to hear from someone who has installed them into a car with leaking bushes

1) I have fitted them on a car with leaking bushes.

2) No-one is suggesting they don't work.

the only 'con' people ever mention with them is the noise issue. I didn't find it a problem, and I've never heard anyone else who has actually used them complain about it either. So spend the lousy $135 and give them a try. IF you find the noise is too much for you to bear, sell them for $100 and get the bushes. no great loss.

god its hard

Thanks for your order buddy - Once payment has cleared your goods will be dispatched.

They will fit with Stock Bushes no problem - Leaking, broken or otherwise.

The increase in road noise is a bit of a myth. We have installed them and noticed no real difference road noise on various cars and setups.

I will also email you some instructions for DIY install - It will take approx 20 mins on a hoist with a rattle gun and around 1hr at home on jack stands with hand tools and some patience.

      Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?

      Another little story of weird shit happening

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.

      Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up

      Looking for a part number for this part here

      By dbm7 · Posted

      Did some FASTing ...got the impression that the actual part# was a moot point ; seems all of these hardlines for coolant are discontinued/NLA... like, I take it you're after the hardline that bolts onto to the manifold...that's NLA according to amayama & nengun .... ...just to clear up some confusion, they typically mounted the AAC valve to the intake manifold somewhere near a coolant passage, so the body of the valve heats up & holds it open when engine's up to temp - no coolant flows through the valve, it's a mechanical, thermal connection.
