Subframe bushings....

[G20-Budo]

Not sure if this would be the right area for this.. but we'll go with it.

I know in the past that the subframe bushings in my SE-R got pretty dry and rotted.. so I'm thinking about seeing if we can get some poly ones made for the G20 (P10 first of course!!)

Does anyone have a P10 subframe out of the car that they could measure the dimensions of the subframe bushing area?

Thanks.

They look very similar in size and shape to S13/Z32 subframe bushings... I wonder if they are the same part number? I will research this a little.

If they are the same, utilizing an aluminum bushing, along with Poly Motor Mounts would REALLY tighten up the drivetrain.

I would guarantee they are not like the S13/Z32 subframe...these are smaller...

Kyle ill get you pics and dimensions here by tomorrow at the latest...

Be a baller Kyle... get P@ to make you some solid aluminum subframe bushings. Might rattle your teeth loose but it'll be SOLID!

Whatever!! Poly is already pushing it for me with vibrations and all. I don't know for a fact that my subframe bushings are shot.. but being that I live in AZ, it's hot and dry here... and the fact that every other piece of rubber for the suspension has rotted long ago.. it makes sense that the subframe bushings would also be rotted or sloppy by now.

What happened with this? I think the guy with the NPM race car said he had custom steel subframe bushings in his car.

[blairellis]

Would also like to know. Would love to do this while my motor is coming out for the DET swap.

The custom aluminum subframe bushings were actually made by P@.. And there is NO way I'm putting solid aluminum bushings in my subframe.

As for what the status is, P@ provided me measurements of the factory units...and someone I was chatting with tonight said he could probably make a set.. We'll see.

[blairellis]

Make a set from Poly or Alum?

Poly..

Yea I looked at the solid aluminum ones last time I was at Pat's shop... Their something you would NOT want to put in any sort of daily driver vehicle.

[altonypartser]

sorry for bringing this back up but did you ever go through with the poly subframe bushings? Im just trying to get some options besides buying a new dealer piece or using a used one.

[trbobrk]

I don't think the poly ones were ever made. The only aluminum set is somewhere between new mexico and washington.

[cavern]

I wouldn't say the only set...

[trbobrk]

We should start our own club lol.

[G20-Budo]

I still think we need to make a set of poly subframe bushings.. Maybe sometime in the future..

[cavern]

I wonder if i could persuade the motor mount guys to build us a set...

if 2009 isn't the future to 2006 (first post) i don't know WHAT is!
