Hi All,

the other day when i went to get some new tyres put on (Kumho KU31) the guy was about to do a wheel alignment and was checking the brakes and the suspension parts and he advised the front lower control arm bush needs to be replaced.

questions

1. has anyone else experienced this?

2. if so where have you taken to get fixed and how much should i be expecting to pay.

Regards

Is it the lower control arms or the lower compression rods.

I had to do the compression rods in my stagea and that was $650 as i had to buy new rods from Nissan. If its the lower control arm inner bushes then you can buy Noltec bushes from whiteline for the 350Z these are the same as the V35's & M35's

I just had the RACQ report on a 350GT that Im looking at come back with split inside lower controll arm bushes as well. Any ideas on cost to repair? I want to try to get a few more dollars of the cars price.

Just got a quote from a workshop on the Gold Coast: $55 for the bushings, 2-3 hours work for both sides.

Hey red dragon...i called nissan and asked about the 350z bushes but got told that they only sell the whole control arm including bushes ($295each) for parts only. need to go back to them with the vin # for the V to see what they can do for a V35 specific part ill let you know once i have done that.

i got quoted by tyrepower $250 each side for replacing the bushes only with aftermarket variants, but not sure what brand they would use.

i'm going to call around a bit more and see what else i can find.

Hey guys my rear shock bush is tearing, thanks to the whiteline list I've found the bush. Now I'm wondering if they can be replaced on the car or if I'm going to have to take the rear axel off and get them bench pressed. Does anyone know someone who can do this quick and painlessly?

I bought this bad boys 1-2 months ago. The mechanic told me it's genuine OEM when he received the parts from me. I paid 200$ for labour.

Hope that helps.

you can get genuine compression rod bushings, but not LCA bushings.. those in the link will likely be febest bushes.. probably ok, but not genuine by any means.

 

EDIT-.. actually with a part number like NAB-089, I guarantee they will be febest bushes.

    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
