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 :)

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
