Hey guys

I'm having trouble finding replacement bushes for the V36 coupe 2011 steering rack.

I just need one and i'm not keen to buy the whole steering rack just for one bushing

i've seen V35/350Z bushes come up on a google search but nothing for the V36/G37

I don't think it has a part number and nissan won't sell it.

If you can figure out the size of the bush and tube insert, try going to the Superpro website they have a section called Find my bush size, small possibility they have a bush thats close. I got lucky with a BMW bush I couldn't match. Had too reduce the length though.

Well it's not easy to measure ?

I asked my Mechanic and he said he would charge hours of labour just do this. 

Does anyone have there V36 or 370Z in pieces to measure the bush I need? 

I'll do some more googling tonight too.

Not good 

Had the rack removed to get measurements. 

It's all sealed up and you would damage the rack if you tried to remove them. Then you wouldn't be able to fit new ones. 

My mechanic has just greased up and tighten them down. Now I don't have any movement problems so I'm happy.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.

      Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.

      There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.

      yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.
