Lexx Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 Are there any OEM style bushes available for the suspension? I hate polybushes with a passion (although I am aware I will need to get them for the subframe as there is no other option). So aside from Nismo bushes and ES/Whiteline/SuperPro polybushes are there any other options? (I'm prepared to go for Nismo, but want to look and explore all the alternatives before committing.

nicjwin Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 i changed all my bushes to Nismo . The ride is quite comfortable over bumps . I think they are not easy to get now though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raja93 Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 I’m relatively new to the club so not a wealth of knowledge compared to others, but my cars just getting all new bushes at the moment. From my research, I found pretty much the companies you’ve noted. I bought all the Nismo bushes they made, and the rest I went with energy suspension. Nismo is regarded the best by the long term gurus on the club, as they’re a happy medium between bone shaking polybushes and overly soft original bushes. I bought the Nismo ones from greenline motorsports japan who have a helpful website and suspension diagrams. Energy suspension ones came from CZP. When I get my car back hopefully later this week, I’ll post up feedback on my project thread. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E8VEN Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Excellent info Naz, what bushes were not available by Nismo and have you now managed to change all the suspension bushes? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexx Posted August 30, 2021 Author Share Posted August 30, 2021 https://www.greenline.jp/catalogue/bccatpartlist2.php?make=Nissan&carcode=Z32A&intake=NA&category=suspension&subcat=Bushes and Collars&sortby=&brand=NISMO This is everything Nismo do. It's basically everything except subframe bushes and steering rack bushes. They are available from a UK retailer but are more expensive (as VAT is applied to them). Importing from Japan they might get snagged by customs so be prepared to pay VAT and Customs on top of JP prices. Though I have ordered twice from Greenline and never been picked up by Customs. 1 Quote Zed #2: 1998 Midnight Purple 2+2 NA.

It was a great handling car already, due to good previous owners and a new of coilovers just before I bought her, but the bushes just finished it all off. As the bushes essentially removed the last of the slack, the ride was a touch too firm, so I had to soften the coilovers by one notch on all four corners which resolved the issue. Highly recommend doing this job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E8VEN Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 That sounds very positive, I plan to do this in about 6 months because I only just got the ZX back on the road after some time. We have a press in our garage so hopefully will be able to do them all at the same time; Thanks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
