Has anyone changed their K-Frame floor mount bushes in the R32 GTR?

And if so did you acquire the original k-frame floor mount bushes or some after market items.

I'm not that keen on using pineapples as i have been told that they only last about two years before you need to look at changing them again. ( i could be wrong through)

I have rang Nissan and was told that if i want those bushes i need to buy the whole K-frame as the floor mount bushes are not an item Nissan sells separately.

Now they want over $1000 for the K-frame and i'm not paying that much money.

If anyone can point me into the right direction as to where to buy the replacement items from or some other non oem parts but just as good..

Personally I'd call it a rear subframe. Anyway subframe bushes are a much better option than just pineapples. They are a bastard to replace though, subframe out which is why most people just take a shortcut and try and lock it using pineapples

So where do you get the subframe bushes from seeing nissan want's to only sell you the whole subframe only

I got mine from Noltec but I think they are goooone, bought out by whiteline.

Anyway just ask for "subframe bushes" from a local suspension workshop - there are probably a couple of local brands making them.

Be careful 32 gtr and gtst are different so make sure you get the right ones

Thanks mate i'll have a look at the whiteline and see if they still have them.

The nizmo one's work out about $102 each and you need 4. Ouch so looks like i'll keep looking

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
