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 :)

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
