Poly Rear Sub Frame Bushes

Dazmans12 · #1 27-02-2010, 11:22

Hi Si
Will do, I have already passed the Z31 info on to Chris(Conceptua tuning).They already do the rear anti-role bar bushes, which I have fitted now. He does it as a complete lit which include bolts,bushs spacers. Very good quality, so would expect the same for what ever he may come up with for the rest of the subframe bushes

Burning the bush out sounds like a lot of work, tried it on my S13, However I was able to sourch someone who had the kit to press the whole bush out in the end.

Have just tried to insert photo, as you can see it didn't work??????????? any tips, is it the system of somethink I am doing?

Photos need to be hoasted on the web first.

if you press the bushes out, i'am sure the holes will be too big for the bushes, well they are with the superflex bushes listed for the z31,i'd burn them out,leaving the sleeve in.

"Photos need to be hoasted on the web first."

I tried to download/display them from Photobucket. or is there one the forum uses?

"if you press the bushes out, i'am sure the holes will be too big for the bushes, well they are with the superflex bushes listed for the z31,i'd burn them out,leaving the sleeve in."

What I do know so far is the S12 sudframe bush is much bigger in diam than the S13. & I do wonder on the condition of the orriginal coller, so maybe a coller could be made up to fit?

isnt conceptua tuning that one from ebay, charges £40 for the set??? MJP autos charges £17 for the same kit.

http://www.nissansilvia.co.uk/vbb/showthread.php?t=3707 for the MJP subframe bushes fitted.

does anyone have a subframe that is removed from the car that they could measure the diameter of the subframe bush hole, and ill measure the diameter of the subframe bush i have sitting here. not that i doubt Northerners how to, but just for your piece of mind.

**EDIT** The bushes i have are for a 84-89 300zx Diameter of the bush is 76.2mm ish They are made by Prothane from the USA.

Also on Club s12 they are recommending the Prothane z31 bushes for the s12, and also stated that the s12 bushes they sell also fit the z31. dont buy from MMR as they have very bad feedback.

I do have a complete car I will be breaking at some point this yr, when I get a chance, Was planning on using that subframe as a templete. Looking at your link, Northerner has it sorted. it looks like the Z31s are a straight fit, & with out leaving the old bush coller in.
Are the other bushes a straight fit, or do we need to keep the old metal coller in once the rubbers been burnt out.
