Bushes sit between moving metal parts. They can help absorb shock as well as the prevention of wearing of metal parts. Different bushes have different hardness - usually stock ones are on the soft side to give driver comfort and realistically aren't designed for agressive driving. Upgrading to poly bushes or similar can make a noticeable difference to the firmness of handling and IMHO are a worthwhile upgrade.

FYI

I just called a whiteline distrubutor here in vic, and I got some prices for polyeurathane bushed for an R33

Front control arm uppers: $145

Strut to chassis (front): $107 ($63 for standard)

Rear control arm upper: $??? (no price)

Rear sway bar mount to chassis: $14.44

these guys are in 28 Ovata drive, Tullumarine

ph: 9330 1166

I'm getting a squeek from the front in the mornings when the car is cold. I dont suppose any1 has had the same, and changed their bushes. Its just that I haven't looked at them yet, but i was sondering which of the 2 it is likely to be...

inark:

Pineapple rings are used for one of 3 different applications. They can be set up for drag (increased rear squat on launch), drift (opposite of drag) or general performance (in between). They also help reduce axle tramp.

Zahos:

Sorry I didn't mention this before, whiteline also do 'handling' kits - buy as a kit and save a few bucks - may be worth a look.

I have a '95 R33 GTS-T and it has after-market suspension, when i drive on some bumpy roads i get rattles (i think only from the rear), i always thought it was just the jack or something in the boot moving around but the previous owner said i need to get "bushes" coz its metal on metal and thats the sacrifice u make for having good suspension.

How do i know what set of bushes i need ? there are like 243 different products on www.whiteline.com.au

also try superpro

http://www.superpro.com.au

they make the polyurethane bushes whiteline sell, or so the suspension guy told me. they are blue, not yellow, and cheaper, thats all the difference, same parts and quality.

Ive just done the castor bushes in my s13. much nicer.

Benm,

Do you have coilovers? I have then and they will give you a rattling sound, that is because they don't necessarily use rubber between the spring and the top of the suspension, therefore when you go over a stiff bump the spring compresses and then rattles against the metal of the chassis.

If you dont have coilovers thenI don't have any suggestion.

See'ya:burnout:

    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
    • street use or race track, what hose size and why? what factors change with the hose size options ?   see most comon is an10. when you see most oem external coolers are closer to an12? does high volume oil pump like nitto need an12 or 10 be just fine
