Hi All,

I'm stuck i'm looking to replace the bushing in my 2004 V35 skyline, it's the bushing on the black arm below. Does anyone know where I can get this from in Australia and where I can get it replaced? Does whiteline make theses bushings?

Yeah I have 2 cracked bushes which I need to get sorted, I was quoted around $350 for labour, and I still think thats high..so I've been putting it off till next service..

I bought a pair on ebay for $120 delivered, I think I saw recently they even cheaper now.. Genuine nissan part from America.

When it comes to stock parts for the V35, dont bother looking for anything in OZ. It will usually be 3 times the price just so that they can tell you its Genuine Nissan. I've always gone straight to Ebay US and found the best deals there.

Please let me know how much you end up paying of install? i think it requires a 'hydraulic jack' to install.

you could replace the arms yourself, not a massive job. save yourself the coin and learn something in the process. youll need a big jack and some axle stands. youll need to get the whole front end off the ground to do it, dont jack up one side at a time, the swaybar will probably hinder the job.

ebay US is great for parts that are shared between several models.

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.

      Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.

      Just one thing; tapping tapered threads is tricky. Taps are always tapered and you would generally run it as far as you can, but with a tapered thread you have to stop much sooner otherwise the wide part of the taper will run in too far and you will have to thread the sensor in too far too as well (possible that it will never make a good seal) BTW nice wide wheels, I guess the top one is for the back!

      Welp, good to know. Will have to wait awhile until steady hands with drills and taps are available. In other news, these just arrived! I will weigh them for posterity. Edit: 11kg each (or 10.9/11.1 depending on what my scale decides over multiple tests, the 18x11 don't seem to weigh noticeably any more than 10.5)
