me personally no didnt need to. but a mate of mine has, he did math to work it out, not just same amount as a riser bush.

Did you raise the UCA the same? or only the LCA? Im assuming you did it in a R32?

this thread has got some good information in it. Can I please ask if someone who has made some of these offset bushes up can you please pm me or post up a drawing of these bushes. I have a r33 cradle laying around im pulling the cradle out of my r32 anyways... and I'll machine the bushes myself, and I havent got a diff or arms yet, so I'll just purchase ones to suit the r33 cradle.

Then hopefully r33 coilovers will fit? Or is the difference in them on the upper mount/length. My r32 ones are shagged and I have r33 hks coilovers here too :)

i dont think by changing the subframe you will be able to use r33 coilovers

yeah I will be using all r33 rear end.

Can someone please post up sizes or pm me sizes for these bushes :) I'll even offer to buy you a beer when im down south :yes:

Ive installed solid alloy subframe bushes in my 32 gtst, and installed it flush with the car.

I also added a whiteline swaybar. Combined with the subframe being raised and the thicker swaybar, my swaybar is now hitting a seam on the body of the car....

I need the swaybar to move freely, so im wondering if you encountered this problem with the alloys?

thanks!

I've never installed these bushes before but I'm going to say, double check the sway bar is installed properly, and if it is, I personally would just pull it back out and hammer the floor in a little bit...

sorry for the late reply but i have been working on the front suspension all day..

i took some photos, i think i will need to make a metal spacer about 10mm thick (b/c thats how much approx the subframe moved up) so i dont hit the body work. that and hammer the floor. i cant grind the floor b/c it will make it weaker.

sorry if the images came out poorly, they look ok in photo viewer but not good in paint :D

i test fitted the swaybar, but the screws to the bracket are not all the way in, so i will have less room as seen in the photo when they are tight.

any imput would be great, but if no suggestions i will make metal bracket and hammer floor as stated above and let you know how i went.

got it booked in for corner balance etc on tureday, i hope i make it!! :P

hmmm must be due to the whiteline bar.. mine is a cusco one and still has heaps of clearance.

either way. spacing it down is the answer and wont affect the operation of the bar either.

just had a thought that should've crossed my mind a very long time ago.. I'm not sure if the r33 gtr subframe is different but if it is I'll need it as my car is a gts4.. can anyone confirm?

bare sub frames are the same gtst/gtr/gts4

bare sub frames are the same gtst/gtr/gts4

All the same dimensions, I used a GTST subframe in my 33GTR while I did some work to the GTR subframe. The only diff I could see when I had them both sitting on the ground next to each other is the GTR frame has a stiffener welded onto the top of the curved section on each side. Kinda like a double skin, I have pictures somewhere but can't seem to find them.

    • Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy. 
    • New [400]Z, they're available in manual and you don't have to worry about parts scarcity. 
    • Just planning to have the wiring neat and hide as much as possible.
    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
