I took my rear end off and both my subframe bushings where bad. Bad as in 100 pieces. Now I need to get new once. I found a set of polyurethane bushings for a Z31 and as far as I know they will fit.But it seems like you need to use the "collar" (don't know if it's the right word, the metall thing surrounding the bushing) from your old bushing. The problem is that mine have rustead away.
So I have 2 choises. Get a set of OEM bushings and burn them out and install the polys
Or just get new stock once and install.
Does anyone know a place that sells cheap subframe bushings?Exept Nissan ofcourse

Yes, you do need to use the metal collars. And yes, the Z31 rear subframe bushings will fit just fine. I don't know where to get the full bushing with the metal collar besides Nissan, unfortunately. :disgust:
