Last time the car was on a hoist the mechanic noticed that the rear right subframe bush was leaking, there are marks on the body where its been hitting, & rear end is very squirmy under accelerating if i'm not getting severe axle tramp.

Basically because I don't want to have the car off the road during the week, i have figured it may be easier to swap the whole subframe or rear end myself opposed to paying a mechanic all the labour involved dropping the rear end and pressing out all the bushes & replacing.

I am located in melbourne, i can organise pickup wherever/whenever suits.

i am after either a subframe with the bushes in reasonable condition or whole rear end with or without diff. My car has ABS so the diff is slightly longer i think, but is in need of a rebuild (lots of backlash), so if you are wrecking your car for parts but can't be bothered pulling everything apart let me know with what you are offering.

Even is bushes are shagged, i may still be interested.

Cheers

Rob

P.s i have looked into fitting pineapples or metal collars, they are not what i am after don't think they will fix my problem.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.

      Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.

      I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.

      Hi @Chupapy i had several leaks from coolant pipes being corroded, i also had one leak on back of the head onto transmission. For me that leak was from the turbo water line. Follow the line to the back of the head The hose and metal pipe had perished these are the best pics I took of it at the time
