Hi people, just want to get your experience or opinions. I've been told that the standard bushes in my front suspension has a crack in it. So .. I've been doing some research on replacing/upgrading the bushes and came across Super pro & Nismo. Other than the differences in materials (superpro is polyu & nismo - rubber), does anyone have an experience in comparing both in terms of feel or performance?

Also, where's the best cheapest place to buy them? I know of Supercheap Auto - is that the cheapest? Time isn't a factor.. I'm only planning to replace them in a couple of months.

poly is harder than rubber, so it won't flex as much. Which can be good as it reduces slight geometry changes under load (heavy cornering). The down side is the bushes absorb less vibration and impact, which means it is transmitted through to the body of the car.

Personally I would use poly on non-load bearing items, like sway bar bushes, but use rubber bushes on most other items. That said, plenty of people have used poly everywhere and seem to be happy with it.

Have a look on some of the USA sites. Energy Suspension make a lot of poly bushes for the G35/350Z for considerably cheaper prices. Whiteline here in Aust, also do a lot of poly bushes for the 350Z. Also look at some nissan/infiniti supplies in USA for factory items as they tend to be a lot cheaper than local dealer prices. Provided you can wait for it to arrive.

Hey,

Have a read of my thread (http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/402404-stillen-sway-bar-problem/), it shouldn't be a problem with other parts where bushings are. But if you are changing sway bars and depending on their thickness, you're best to get the sway bar D bushings for it as well. Finding sway bars with the same thickness size as OE would be much better in the long term to source. Energy Suspension has a good range of products and that's probably where I'm gonna get my sway bar D bushings from. They have a complete kit of bushings for our cars as well, if that's what you're after.

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?

LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
