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.

  • 2 weeks later...

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

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:

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
