are you just replacing your stock ones? instead of buying another set of 2nds, perhaps just press new bushes in them...I found that to be more economical, as the stock ones are liquid filled and used ones might just leak again and go all clunky.

This is the one place on a car where I will wholeheartedly recommend aftermarket rods with rose joints on the end (rather than original bushes or even polyurethane). No real NVH penalty and about 1000% better stiffness/location. Only problem is the lack of roadworthiness.

Thanks for the info guys.

My mechanic reckoned that since I just had the rocker cover gasket done and the rod has a fair bit of oil dried up on it that I should replace the whole rod rather than just the bushes.

Rose joints on the end eh? I'll look into that, although roadworthiness is pretty important, it's a very stock standard and clean car and I like to keep my vehicles that way; I know, I hardly fit in with the usual skyline owners :P

Why would replace the whole rod? bushes are so easy to press in, I did mine with a vice.

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
