I want some metal steering rack bushings for my s13 - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

a_ahmed · 07-12-2007, 05:20 AM

Driftworks has them, this one japanese company if i recall yanaka or something has them, and there was some australian company.. other than that i dont know anyone else.

Problem is I'm in Canada, Driftworks' price is skyroof like, and the shipping is MORE than the item itself.. frickin going to cost me literallyh a whole paycheque 500+ CDN$... wth?

So help me out

yokotas13 · 07-12-2007, 05:48 AM

i can get yanaka shit
dunno how much it will be, but i can get it

kandyflip445 · 07-12-2007, 08:15 AM

How do you put those on? Are they like 2 pieced or something?

240trainee · 07-12-2007, 08:39 AM

Yes, iirc

they are badass, I would be down for some if they could be had somewhat affordably.

Metal to metal on your steering rack??? Why?

BECAUSE ITS FUCKING BADASS

do you have it?
have u driven a car with them?

if u answer "no" to both these questions:
SHUT THE FUCK UP

I have YANACK ones
steering is SOOOO great and responsive. that with the little metal spacer to replace that rubber bushing, 235 neovas, spl outters

shit is amazing
u can get YANACK suuuper easy too!

www.rhdjapan.com

they are fast on shipping and super reliable. i bought some stuff off them reecently. nice people. they ship EMS. i ordered on sunday, got my stuff by thursday.

DO IT!

iave had yanack for well over a year now. picked them up in Japan.
then found out i could have gotten them just as easily thru RHD. oh well!

make sure u specifiy with RHD which one u want. S13 differs from s14
i use s14 ones on my s14 with a s14 steering rack.

**ThatGuy** · 07-12-2007, 09:44 AM

Any installed pics Aaron? Or is it one of those things that is self explanatory if I were to walk out and pop my hood?

Just trying to wrap my head around this. I'm assuming replacing the stockers with metal would clean up any slop and quicken steering response. At the same time, can I assume it transfers more vibration to the steering wheel?

Dousan_PG · 07-12-2007, 09:49 AM

installed pics?
u know where the stock bushings are on the PS rack?

imagine them metal and silver.

done.
i never do that 'write up' business. rather install and drive then take pics for the internet.
bleh.

vibratino? couldnt tell you. car isnt made for the street.

gotta240 · 07-12-2007, 09:52 AM

I second all questions asked above. I'm not saying it wont help, i just don't see how it CAN help... Basically there are just rubber bushings in the clamps that hold the rack to the car....Right? Not really sure how replacing these improves anything.... please do explain.

Dousan_PG · 07-12-2007, 09:55 AM

replace rubber bushings w/ solid
works for everything else
subframes, uprights, lcas, etc etc
same thing
ps cant move at all. no flex whatsoever. more respeonsive.

i am sucky at explaing stuff but all the people who have drifted my cars enjoy it.so im not here to convince anyone. i couldnt give a fuck about someone elses car.

take what you must.

**ThatGuy** · 07-12-2007, 09:55 AM

Understood. Thanks for the info.

With your experience, I'd imagine you could handle some good write-ups on a number of different parts.

For now Zilvia will just have to get by with the expertise of "Dousan's Reviews".

Brian · 07-12-2007, 10:47 AM

hell yes

Yanack.... I want some....

How do they feel compared to the ES bushings? Since that's what I have in there now.

Slidin240Wayz · 07-12-2007, 12:24 PM

They have something to protect everything...slightly.

Pretty cool. $110 shipped.

Dousan_PG · 07-12-2007, 01:01 PM

haha my stack install is a bunch of showoff pics
i didnt say how i mounted it all as far as here i cut a hole..take a pic..here i thread a bolt...take a pic

i never ran those little things
when i got mine didnt have them.
i think it was for shipping or something.

but yeah i dont use em.

heres how it went for me
s14
had stock
went es..better
went solid ends..way better
went solid bushings even better
went metal spacer in the column..amazing

...went s13....the best choice ever with the above setup.

kandyflip445 · 07-12-2007, 01:17 PM

Which solid ends are you refering to? Like heim joints?

240trainee · 07-12-2007, 01:29 PM

I would assume the SPL setup

07-12-2007, 01:59 PM

im running urethane bushings on the entire car

i run a metal bushing for the steering rack w/ manual steering settup.

the bushing, like all bushings, is a pain to install if your motor is installed.

i did it with the motor installed, from the INSIDE of the car by removing the entire interior section of the rack.. since i had no dash it wasnt rediculous, but still troublesome.

it makes a nice improvement, more than what youde think. its not harsh, i daily drive my shit for many years.. no worries.

unlike douSHan, i dont run metal bushings anywhere else on the car because i believe that a good street setup should be compliant. no sense in sliding your shit all over the canyon going nowhere, when you're trying to keepup with cars like evo etc.. i mean, we already have traction issues. but this little piece doesnt effect that.

johngriff · 07-12-2007, 02:13 PM

Just so people dont get confused,

There are the metal steering rack bushings, which attatch the rack to the subframe.

There are metal column bushing which is replaced in the column.

Both will increase steering feel immensely and are not too much for the street at all.

smelly240 · 07-12-2007, 02:38 PM

i have that steering column one but i fagged out and got poly rack bushings (i know im a homo)... I wish i would have got the solid ones.

the diff from the rack bushings tho was CRAZY... kinda grimey under there still (and i thought i cleaned it)

Speak for yourself. I have poly bushings and I'm no fag.

If you're happy with what you got and it was worth it, then why should you say you're a fag because there are people saying it's the next best thing since the invention of the wheel?

Creizai · 12-16-2007, 10:06 PM

Are they really worth the Yanack Steering Rack Colar Set$100+ price compared to the Energy Suspension thats 20$.

Since were talking somewhat about odd upgrades that we do not normally talk about any have any info at all about these? URAS Tatsunootoshigo S13

Dousan_PG · 12-16-2007, 10:13 PM

well its like anything else
hwo badly do u want something and how much u want to spend

sure u can go the ES route, np. works good does the job
or u could take it a step farther and spend more and never touch ur bushings ther eagain, beause u dont have any.

i like the solid
you might like the poly
my mom might like the solid and my dad the poly
just get what u can afford

if 100 bucks wont hurt your bank, then do it

stinky_180 · 12-17-2007, 02:11 AM

i run the aluminum steering column bushing and polyurethane rack bushings as well, steering response has increased. it feels really good. i can only imagine the metal steering rack bushings being better. thanks to aaron, i now know a place that sells these, thanks!

Edgar · 12-17-2007, 07:39 AM

Ive read enough on this topic and researched it and driven a car with these and its AMAZING!

Bushido · 12-17-2007, 09:13 AM

hmm, i wonder why SPL or the like hasn't made these state side yet... steering column bushing and solid rack bushings for 100 bucks sounds good.

!Zar! · 12-17-2007, 12:04 PM

All you need is the solid bushing

LSautomotive
and yanack steering bushings.

Dont.

slideways2004 · 12-17-2007, 05:27 PM

i have heard the metal steering column bushing is pretty hard to change with the engine in the car. is that true?? i have never done it

Edgar · 12-17-2007, 06:15 PM

I would ask Dousan that, my buddy Zach did it when he was doing the swap on his old S13 but ive personally never changed that. Seems like it could be a bitch.
