does anyone know if these will fit? a s13 subframe? or are the only replacement options solid aluminum and nismo ones? [http://performancenissanparts.com/products/?id=4131](http://performancenissanparts.com/products/?id=4131) ---

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](http://performancenissanparts.com/products/?id=2537) And if you still have trouble finding it from there, just email the guy at [parts@perfnissan.com](mailto:parts@perfnissan.com) i think the guy’s name is eddie he’ll be able to find you exactly what you need.

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. Jon ---

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) 1. oem stock (not available for purchase) 2. nismo subframe bushings - available at [http://performancenissanparts.com/products/?id=2537](http://performancenissanparts.com/products/?id=2537) -stiffer than oem bushings -perfect fit, no customization required -$$$$$$$ 1. z32 polyurethane bushings -available at [http://performancenissanparts.com/products/?id=4131](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](http://forums2.freshalloy.com/showpost.php?p=1253667&postcount=10) ) 2. polyethylene solid subframe mounts - available at [http://cgi.ebay.com/Nissan-240SX-Solid-Subframe-Mounts\_W0QQitemZ250128477839QQihZ015QQcategoryZ42609QQcmdZViewItem](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 1. solid aluminum subframe bushings -available at www.bings.ca or on ebay or [www.splparts.com](http://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?
