i tried nissan dealer they say you have to buy the entire subframe for like $1000
tried canadian tire aswell
anyone know anywhere i can pick them up?
thanks in advance!
did you use the search function under the banner?
there was a thread last week about this.
it might be, oh 10-20 threads below this one.
enough being a dick though, try courtesy nissan, or possibly google, or the SEARCH BUTTON under the BANNER
haha yea isn’t that the greatest thing? you go in and ask for bushings and they tell you that the bushings come with a subframe. and so you say ok how much? and they say 800 bucks… lol retarded… anways… i got my nismo bushings from http://performancenissanparts.com/ good luck!

does anyone know if these will fit? a s13 subframe?
or are the only replacement options solid aluminum and nismo ones?
If you want the actual subframe bushings as in the 4 big bushings at each corner of the subframe the ones you’re looking for are from this list: http://performancenissanparts.com/products/?id=2537
And if you still have trouble finding it from there, just email the guy at parts@perfnissan.com i think the guy’s name is eddie he’ll be able to find you exactly what you need.

dude those are expensive as fuck!
It’s still better than paying 800 bucks for a subframe with new bushings…
exact same reaction from me when i needed new subframe bushings, but Lith has a point it’s either that or you can buy a new subframe with bushings for 800 bucks. i haven’t seen any other aftermarket subframe bushings available other than the solid aluminum ones and i felt that those would be a little too much for me. So i sucked it up and just bought the nismo ones.
And by the way it’s not thaaat expensive. You get all 4 subframe bushings for $152.28 and with the rate the canadian dollar at is right now compared to the us dollars it’s really not that much. Just something to think about.

I am curious if the Nismo bushings have a different rubber composition than the factory ones…
Does anyone know for sure?
ok after alot of searching and reading here are my options and options for anyone else looking to swap subframe bushings
from softest to hardest (the harder the bushing the more noise+vibration transfer into cabin)
-
oem stock (not available for purchase)
-
nismo subframe bushings
- available at http://performancenissanparts.com/products/?id=2537
-stiffer than oem bushings
-perfect fit, no customization required
-$$$$$$$
-
z32 polyurethane bushings
-available at http://performancenissanparts.com/products/?id=4131
-stiffer than nismo bushings above
-will require cutting to make fit (example here: http://forums2.freshalloy.com/showpost.php?p=1253667&postcount=10 ) -
polyethylene solid subframe mounts
- available at http://cgi.ebay.com/Nissan-240SX-Solid-Subframe-Mounts_W0QQitemZ250128477839QQihZ015QQcategoryZ42609QQcmdZViewItem
- much stiffer than polyurethane, these are pretty much like hard plastic, they still have some flex but not as much as polyurethane ones above
-perfect fit, no need for cutting or customization
- solid aluminum subframe bushings
-available at www.bings.ca or on ebay or www.splparts.com
-solid metal so there will be TONS of noise/vibration transfer into the cabin
-perfect fit, should slide right in
i don’t know which ones to go with now lol
i am leaning towards the z32 ones and cutting them to fit, either that or the polyethylene (hard plastic) ones
any thoughts?
