Hey guys just looking for your opinions. I noticed awhile ago a clunking noise coming from front passenger side wheel. Didn't really look into as I haven't driven the car since but today while repairing my front bar I noticed a sticky like goo coming out of front castor rod bush (I think thats what its called anyway).

Anyone know what this is and if that could be the problem?

Its silicon that Nissan puts into the stock rubber castor rod bushes. Obviously you've noticed some problems while driving and that they've split and are leaking.

Just replace the stock bush with a nolathane one (adjustable/non-adjustable) or replacing the whole castor rod with an aftermarket adjustable one from one of the sponsors on here.

Without a clearer pic - I can't see jack mate.

I can see there's a bush, and it's black - and it still has the gap ring in it - but that "sticky gunk" wouldn't come from a bush, more likely oil.

If it was lubricant for the bush - it wouldn't be liquid.

Where are you located? If you're in Western Sydney - I could come and have a look.

Your sway bar link D-Bush seems a bit stretched mate, that I can see.

If leaking then yes time to change, do not want that stuff on your drive way ! superpro goes for a good price i got some superpro from JDM obsession.

+1 for both Superpro and JDM Obsession. The A in the part number that Lachlan quoted indicates its adjustable, so it gives you a bit more flexibility in the alignment setup. Skylines like more castor...

      If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.

      If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.

      MAJOR FUEL ISSUES 25det neo r32

      Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
