Hey guys

Got the power figure I was after and now I'm moving on to the suspension side of things.

Before I go get a set of coilovers I thought I might replace the bushes etc

What exactly do I need to replace for a service on a 33

I was looking for a list I can just take Into the shop and order

Rather then going "I need bushes for my car"

Any help would be appreciated thanks

Oh and currently everything is stock in this department

I'd be hitting up the likes of JDM obsession. He should be able to get pretty much any type of bushing for you (super pro brand)

Pretty sure you should be able to get a "Super Pro Handling Enhancement Kit" for a gtst - but confirm that with the shop.

the main things i'd be looking at would be: F & R Castor arm bushes, F & R Control Arm bushes (inner, outer, upper & lower if available)

If your talking about doing everything in the suspension side of things then this is what I can think off;

Front:

castor bushes or adj castor arms

LCA inner bush

LCA ball joint

UCA inner/outer bush or adj camber arms

sway bar bushes and sway bar links

rear:

LCA inner bushes

LCA ball joint

upper camber arm inner/out bush or replace adj arm

upper traction arm inner/outer bush or replace adj arm

hicas rod end ball joint

That will pretty much cover it.

Diff mount bushes if you have any sort of axle tramp!

I had horrible axle tramp, bought coilovers to fix it, didnt help. Put subframe collars in, helped slightly. Put diff bushes (both front and rear) and the car launches so nice and flat now.

Other then that as above, I'm pretty sure super pro do an enhancement kit as suggested, I know pedders and whiteline do. Just check out the websites to get an idea, all the bushes are listed on there :)

    • The real question is, on some of those wild roads they call highways, how many times did a farmer in an old ute from the early 2000s blaze past you over double lines?   Tassie is a wild and really cool place, and after doing a work related road trip there January of 24, I understand why Targa Tasmania is ran there, and is so tough to do well at! We had a brand new Camry Hybrid that handled quite nicely, and thankfully weren't in an old car, because cresting some of those hills in a 100kmh zone for it to suddenly be like "surprise f**kers, this is a recommended 30kmh hard right turn" wouldn't be pretty. We weren't racing the Camry around, but we weren't slouching in the bends either. But my lord those old farmers know their old clapped out utes, and those roads, as they were absolutely hammering it!   You're also super lucky to make it up to Mt Wellingtong this time of year. It's often road closed with snow/ice! Also, I hope you hit up Salamander Road in Hobart for some insanely good food (I highly recommend the dimly lit Irish pub for a Guiness Pie, or even the bangers and mash!!!)   How long did the Ferry take to get across? I want to do a road trip of Tas on my own time, but I get horrifically sea sick, and I don't want me on the Ferry, just the car 😛
    • So far so good, about 30km on it so far and nothing out of sorts yet thankfully
    • Look at @Kinkstaah's thread on the issue.
    • Hmm not really, I'd say its race car life or modified car life when you make 3 or 4 times the power Nissan designed the car for lol. 
    • I'll let others with more breakage chime in, but I can't think of anyone who had a problem with the standard centre plate before they had a problem with the standard gears - the plate generally just gets replaced for safety when the gearset is upgraded. As for the gearsets, its not like they are OK at 600Nm and break at 601. Their longevity is a combination of how much torque you are making and how gentle you are on shifts (or not).
