    Diff bushes

    What diff bushes are people using? The superpro ones are pricey @ £86 so looking at alternatives like Japspeed. Any other recommendations that people have used?

    Ive got the diff etc out and the front two diff bushes look good so might not do these but will need to do the subby bushes. I am limited on time so a uk seller is ideal.

    Is that not really noisy?

    I went for powerfex black series subframe bushes, if you polly bush the subframe you can solid mount the diff. Would be similar to the s13 Oem set up

    Maybe. My car's a noisy track car built for performance so I've compromised on comfort and practicality. I'm guessing the only reason Nissan bushed the subframe is for NVH reasons as why you'd want a live rear end I don't know. Fixing it rigid makes more sense to me and having all transmission components on uprated mounts. Having said that anything you do will be an improvement over the tired, goo filled, rubber oem bushes just don't waste your time with the pineapple ring things.

    I thought the general consensus was that the rears don't do much so aren't really worth doing?

    Ive had to take them out to get the subframe sorted anyway. Tbh i dont think any of them do much. Front pair seem good really.

    I could make solid bushes easily so maybe its worth trying them and seeing how noisy they are!

    I have solid diff bushes and poly subframe bushes. It is a bit noisy, but that doesn't really bother me. It's not really a quiet car anyway...

    To be honest I’ve never noticed the diff bushes making that much of a difference with noise, it’s always Been the subframe bushes that are killer, so as long as you do them poly you should be fine
