yeah my tip is its a prick of a job, give it to a workshop :banana: you need to press the bushes out of the front of the diff which means somehow supporting the whole heavy thing at the same time. thats after the stuffing around on the ground to remove it, and before the pain of getting it back into place.

let someone with a hoist and proper press do it.

I've used noltec and superpro ones and can't tell the difference

Duncan is right!

However, if you want to do it yourself, this is how I did it:

-it is a diff out job, yes

-drill out the rubber

-use a screwdriver and carefully fold in the flange on the bush

-spray with a s**tload of crc and leave it to penetrate

-work them out with a hammer and screwdriver

It is not pretty, fun or quick. I thought the neighbours were going to call the cops as I was screaming f'n c's all weekend!

I am going to go with the Unique Autosports bushes and make up some new inner sleeves out of stainless steel.

i was thinking going with unique bushing as well , you get everything you need with them by looks of things

i guess allow 2-3 hours for installation of this?

once diff is out any other maintenance that can be done at same time?

With the Unique option you do not get the inner steel section of the bush you have to re-use the old ones. I f**ked mine up trying to get them out, so getting new ones machined up.

Have not got to the installation part, but it took me a whole weekend to get the subframe bushes and the diff bushes out the subframe (having regular breaks to regain my sanity).

2-3hrs? Not a chance.

i was thinking diff bushes only not sub frame tho, or does sub frame have to come out as well?

does anyone else include inner steel sections .....whiteline or superpro ?

You have to pull the subframe out.

No I do not think so, otherwise you can always buy OEM but you are up for over $140ea.

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
