Hello guys,

I planned to buy every single bushing/metla spacer, along with their fan for my BNR32, order was about 200$ but shipping was 70$ to canada.. so I had second thought, my mechanic told me it was useless and I wouldn,t notice a difference beside maybe the shiftter metal collar.

Whats your thought ?? Have you guys tries these item and felt a difference in the way the car handle/react ?

thanks!

I havent tried Gktech, but on my S15 I put Whiteline subframe collars, and there was definitely a difference. Not enough to notice on the street but at Wakefield (NSW race track) power transfer felt solid, and the rear end felt planted through every corner.

Locking up the rear subframe is a good thing - from the point of view of holding stuff together and making it work better. It can and will make a lot of extra noise and harshness come through to the cabin though, so you have to decide what you're willing to put up with.

FWIW though, I am now a firm believer in not sticking crappy add-ons onto the subframe. I pulled mine out and replaced the main bushes with new ones, which are much firmer than the old originals. Previously I had old originals + collars, and I couldn't say that removing the collars has made it go backward. It feels at least as good as it did before.

      Thanks for the linkie. Certainly always a great deal of help when people post comparisons like these, but I think for now I'll stay away from any semi slicks. I did go ahead and order the sportcontact 7. My buddy has them on his modified A4 and he keeps saying how good they are. For my intended purposes these will probably work real well. I'll report on them once I had the chance to try them out

      Talk about noisy. Even when I still had the Tomei under the car I could distinctly hear the tires rolling. And I doubt I ever will need maximum grip like on a track. My GTR will maybe never even see the 600hp mark and I need to get used to the car quite a bit before challenging the limits of its handling. For the next winter storage I think I will get a set of these rubber drive-on thingies that have a tire shaped base. Those supposedly really help prevent flat spots.

      Well our climate is definitely way less hot overall and the weather can be quite picky at times. I just know that during normal road use or even spirited drives there is no way I'd be able to consistently stay in the operating temperature, and constantly changing the tire pressure would also be a royal pain.

      Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.

      For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
