Replacing your Bushes

Nice thread, good to know enthusiastic people who are willing to go to these lengths and find all this info and share it.

Mine passed MOT today, but advised on rear bushes so this info is perfect.

Keep up the good work guys this forum is great and I'm looking forward to JAE and meeting you all.

noltec from australia made one. but from what I've heard from aus-s12, the built quality of their bushings are not so good.

I used a Prothane Total Kit for z31, thou it did not have the rear subframe bushes, and the ARB bushings didint fit at all (there was basicly any size except 25mm in the kit but

, and i can cofirm that both the front ant the rear ARB's are 25mm), everything else fit just fine.
Then i bought the subframe bushes seperately from MMR http://www.mmr-direct.com/. I also bought the front control arm bushes from them, because i didint like how the z31 ones fit (you have to remove the outer metal liner (or whatever you call that thing

).

i emailed MMR in the US about their subframe bushes, they said they will fit ours, they ship to the uk all in (exc VAT if customs see it) £45 they also recommended their diff bush be replaced with them coz of age i guess, all in about £60 delivered. (thats the diff bush and the crossmember bushes)

that to me sounds very reasonable.

i saw what bushes they sent rich, he ended up buying from superflex as they sent the wrong ones.

Thought I best update:-

Front control arm bushes, S13 do fit, but make sure you get a 31.6mm (I think it's .6) ones rather than the 34mm ones, or it won't fit.
