Would like advice on where to go to source bushes for my car, 1997 33 GTR.

Currently has a mixed Mines/Midori/standard set up.

Has anyone sourced a full poly bush set in the uk??

Thanks

The Driftworks bushes are supposed to be pretty good! (FYI, The Subframe bushes, Lower arm bushes, Diff bushes and knucle bushes are the same as the 200sx

mixed Mines/Midori/standard??

Which bits are standard. Mines make arms with uprated bushes and Midori do plenty of rose jointed bush replacements so what bits are left on yours to be replaced?

Is it an s13 or s14 that has the same diff Mountings. Would these be the same as an R32 GTR?

TBH, I have more investigation to do before I know for sure.

What I think it has fitted I have listed below

Mines upper link
Mines lower arm
Mines front upper arm
Midori company trans bearing link
Midori aluminium rear members bushing
Midori company Lower tension load member
Midori company Rear pillow control arm

Can't find much info about these

Any ideas??

Sounds like you are pretty well sorted unless things are worn out.

I would get it up on some ramps/stands and check it all out.

PU bushes sound like a downgrade from most of that list.

I have seen the websites but I need to go back to where I used to work and get one of the Japanese techies to translate for me.

Since I have had the car it has either been in use or having work done. Currently at Abbey on the Dynapack, once the clutch get sorted!!! Just come back from Aurok who sorted the Ohlins out and they commented on the mixture of components and they seem to know their suspension.

Once I get more time with it I will get it up in stands and see whats what.

Appreciate your advice.
