Hi Guys

Have recently been trying to source a polyurethene Gearbox (manual) mount for my R33, I had a friend who bought one a while ago, I remember him showing me (probably about 2 years ago or around abouts). Ive talked to him about it and he swears he bought it off these forums along with a solid steering spacer (I think it was) and some drift pineapples. These parts were for his R32 but I cant seem to find where on here he got them from, nor can I find much anywhere else at all, have searched the forums, google and ebay and all I can find is a UAS Polyurethane one and the Nismo ones, Both over $200, alot more then he payed for his gearbox mout

I've also got a slightly worn D bush/mount for my front sway bar, and these are similar, the only place ive been able to find one is from the UK, which will do if I cant find them anywhere else. But i was wondering if anyone else has bought something maybe designed for a different car that is the same as the skyline sway bar bushes. I might end up pulling a bush off and taking it into pedders to try and match it but if anyone else has found a substitute or knows where I can get one it would make things alot easier.

I have found this on whiteline plus:

Sway bar Mount Front

but I measured my sway bar and it appears to be 22mm? Perhaps Ive measured the sway bar wrong, does anyone know if its 22mm or 20mm?

but anyway, I dont live near a Whiteline Plus stockist anyway so might be useless anyway

Any help would be appreciated

Car: 1994 Nissan Skyline R33 GTS-t Manual

Thanks

the solid sterring mount is available through gktech, i purchased one for 26beans from memory,i think he may do the gearbox mount also. KTS also do the mounts, as for the bushes possibly superpro through fulcrum?

Not after the steering spacer lol was just using it as extra info in case anyone remembered the trader on here :P But Thanks for that, Ill give GKTech an email, nothing on the webpage by the looks at it but cant hurt to ask.

Does KTS have a website? I havent heard of them before

And I'll see what I can find out of Fulcrum

Thanks for those suggestions, might be finally getting somewhere

Open to other suggestions as well though

Thanks

Callan

i think japaneseimportspares.com.au have kts gear if not Danny Vahoumis at japaneseperformancecentre.com.au might have some stuff, he had KTS last time i was in there. GKTech have a dealer page on nissansilvia.com also

Sweet

Thanks mate

I found that super pro make sway bar bushes for the front and rear, you just have to tell them your sway bar size, so theres a win there

Will check out those other sites you mentioned

Thanks again for that :)

hi mate, got a urethane gearbox mount assembly for sale in good condition

click here

this came off an R33 so its a direct bolt on, pm me if you're interested

btw i dont think steering spacer bush applies to R33 since its solid already, only R32s need it

Hi

Thanks for that. Yeah I only mentioned the steering spacer cause my mate bought a couple of things for his 32 from the same seller so just listed them all to see if anyone remembered who was selling them. The seller seems to have disappeared however :S

Ive just found an KTS one that I've literally just bought lol, otherwise I would have taken you up on your offer, thanks anyway but

For those looking for a gearbox mount in polyurethene then this is the link for where Im getting mine. They show a RB20/SR20 one but after emailing about R33 mounts they said they also do RB25 gearbox mounts.

Polyurethene Gearbox Mount

Thanks for the help everyone. Who knows how long I would have had to search to find these things lol

    • The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
