Actually those bushings are quite cheap, I paid 9 bucks + shipping for my Energy Suspension ones from PDM-Racing. He might as well buy those and give it to you so you can fabricate some solid ones for him.

count me in for a set.

Daddy Rim, would it be cheaper to make a whole whack of them (assuming there’s ample demand)?

I was quoted $80 for Nismo for the R32! Thats just retarded is their polyurethane some special blend made from baby black bear livers or something?

EDIT: They don’t quote the R32 GTR but seems most FR Nissans from the 90s use # 7.10104

So chances are that fits too.

Probably.

But before any of that would happen as mentioned there may be some other applications which may work for the 240 ie. R32. someone should look into that.

Have you guys tried Urethane? To me a hard urethane like a 90-95A would be just as good, and obviously cheaper than something machined and appears to be available from PDM.

Well it would be interested if we had a local make of these… I was just looking for the thread to see if there’s any news.

I remember finding on ebay a loong time ago some australian company selling lots and lots of unique s13 parts that ive never heard of before, this was one of them, at the time (few months ago) they were on sale for 80AUD$ which is 70CDN$, didn’t think of it much at the time, but now I want them.

That’s a very reasonable price. The one would be really easy (turned / split) but the other is stamped so it would take a little bit of bending to match up.
