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 is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
    • Yeah - I mean, go the other way. Smaller range. Not larger.
    • To re-cap, I bought: https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8G-Infiniti-Q50-Q60-2014_1601171829627.html?spm=a2756.trade-list-buyer.0.0.2cd476e9FTIlKE As you can see, if I bought 20 it was $653, but I bought 1 so it was $1,170. I was very tempted to buy 2 and resell 1 at 25% cheaper. @MBS206, I am not sure if they do a Kluger one, here is their list but it might be there under a global model name: http://www.lsailt.com/product/android-interface?page=1 Keep in mind these full android replacements have basically all the bits a phone does (cpu, ram, storage, wifi, bluetooth, usb interfaces) other than a screen (it uses a host), thus the $800+ cost. Android Auto screen mirroring is MUCH cheaper as it's just a cut down shell, input mirroring and output mirroring BTW I also need that "screen off" feature, it is much harder to see wildlife even if a dash is reasonably dark. Both the Fuga and V37 have display off buttons for night use, they just come back on for a second or 3 if you interact with it, eg skip a song.
    • I use FCC car launcher. It has an option for different backgrounds, so instead of turning the screen off you can swipe 'up' to a black screen with no background/icons. (mine has the time on it only). It's kinda nice. Also lets you use gestures to say swipe to go to next song, etc.
