7.10104 only lists it for the s13 on that site... I'm pretty sure they are the same though,

If you need one, send me a PM. I have a set I can sell for cheaper than whatever you can find. Brand new. It's for s13 but I'm almost positive it's the same as s14.

I believe all S chasis, and Z32 chasis cars use the same part.

I also believe the install is ALWAYS made easier by using longer than OEM bolts to re-install the rack clamps.

Any reason why one should use the ES bushings versus the Nismo ones?

Flybert · 11-17-2005, 12:36 AM

Because they are about 40 dollars cheaper.

ES are Urethane Nismo are a stiffer than stock rubber. Not sure how the actual Durometer ratings add up, but I'd bet the ES are a little harder.

The harder Poly compound in the ES bushings will far outlast rubber.

I also have a set of these Ill give you for $20 shipped.

no paypal tho

S14 uses a different passenger side bushing, so the S13/Z32 aftermarket bushings don't fit very tight. The solution is to either use an S13 rack, or take a piece of similiar material and double up around the S14 rack. Driver side fits fine.

SPL sells a ES/Nismo kit specifically for the S14.

OptionZero · 11-17-2005, 11:51 AM

yeah, here's the only part number you'll need: www.splparts.com

or just call 'em and ask for the bushings, thats what I did. Got it in less than a week, s13 and s14 they only have one model, i think s14 u need trimming but i'm using an s13 rack on my s14, hahaha

kuah's got wutcha need (<---applies to nearly all questions)

I bought the ES ones for my S14 and installed them. The driver side fir but the passanger side over lapped itself so I snipped it off and its loose now. Whaat do you do to fix that? If I but the set again do I over lap the bushing on the paassanger side? Or is there a right bushing for it?

Congratulations on your reading skills. I answered it two posts above yours over two years ago.

Sorry to continue to beat a dead horse here but are you guys sayin that the S14 Rack bushings that Energy sell don't fit an S14?

projectRDM · 02-02-2007, 01:17 PM

Even better reading skills.

Two years ago, before some idiot dragged this post up from the grave, ES did not offer S14 rack bushings at all. They've now cross referenced the part number over and added it to their catalog but they are NOT the same.

-1 for ES's afterthought.
