I'm actually surprised it took NISMO this long to create one. The Sentra has had a Nismo bushing kit since its orginal parts were introduced. Priced around the same amount. It was a great mod when I had my Sentra. Handling was improved....

I've been waiting quite some time for something like this to come out. The stock bushings are quite soft.
Are these bushings harder rubber or polyurethane?
So, which vendor will be able to supply this for us?

Very nice. I would like to do this setup although it's a real pain in the a** to install. I had an Energy Suspension poly bushing setup on my previous car. My installer had to use a torch to get the old bushings out and then had to use a press to get the new ones in. Definitely not a short install. The labor of doing this stuff will you cost you more than the parts itself. But the benefits of getting rid of the suspension slop is well worth it for handling purposes. This in conjunction with a good custom alignment amazed me. Did a translation on the nismo page and this is the parts they listed where the bushings would be replaced.

www.Japanparts.com ,...................maybe? They not listed on japanparts web site to my knowledge. But maybe until Nismo USA get's around adding them to the U.S. lineup they can get them.

Has anyone contacted energy suspension to make an application for the 350Z? I believe all they need is some of the stock bushings and they can have a kit released very quickly. They're fairly inexpensive too.

not totally clear on this.....I'm I correct in stating that this is basically a way to get crisper handling from the stock suspension and it doesn't apply to aftermarket suspension upgrades or the nismo suspension upgrade or is this an upgrade you should do regardless of what suspension you have?
thanks
thanks
