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.

    • Hi all. Been a while but things are moving along. I just have something that I am wondering about. Since I will use OEM turbo oil pumbing, I got myself a new bolt, the one that goes into the engine block oil feed. As I recall (and see visually) this bolt comes restricted with I think a 1.7mm hole? Not quite sure but it was something around that size. The turbos have 1mm restrictor bolts installed, as necessary due to ball bearings and my higher oil pressures. Can I now just use that OEM bolt with the 1.7mm hole in for the engine block or will this actually be too much oil flow restriction and I have to drill it out first? In my head it would make sense for the bolt to be at least 2mm wide as both turbos take "1mm of oil flow". Do let me know if my logic is flawed here, I just want to make sure I don't kill my turbo bearings with too little oil. Don't know if I can trust the saying I read somewhere that ball bearing turbos essentially only need an oil mist
    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
    • Yeeeppp, been following a lot of the testing on the latest Xona stuff and there are some mental results.  He also went over 1000hp @ 4 hubs on his Mainline with a XRE6364S (63mm) which was also well into the 20psi range before 4000rpm on a 2.5. Crazy stuff. Fwiw the XRE5964S is basically the modern equivalent of their old HTA3582 - would drive nicely enough on an RB25 or 26, but proven capable of a huge amount of power if you want to spicy with rpm tho even at sane boost levels will make stout numbers
