FuzzayD Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 Damn thats expensive. just do 1 a week. You should also take a close up off the handbrake mechanism on the diff i think i put mine together wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anhonyb Posted January 17, 2010 Author Share Posted January 17, 2010 Damn thats expensive. just do 1 a week. prices range from $26-$266 some weeks would be far better than others Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuzzayD Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 hope its not the engine mounts that cost $266 since i definetly need them. Have you failed a wof on any bushes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anhonyb Posted January 17, 2010 Author Share Posted January 17, 2010 havnt taken for a wof with magnum stuff yet, but i pulled it out of a rusty old car that had been sitting for ages as for the $266 i think it was upper control arm inner bush.. i also need mounts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m0ss4yy Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 I spent $46.99 on 4 nolathane bushes [which anthony and i had to grind down anyway] for rear leaf spring bushes, and then i go on te.co.nz, and they have the exact right ones [no grinding down or anything necessary] for $2.00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leigh Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 They couldn't be that expensive surely! I was gonna get them from superflex in england a few years ago but one of the guys on retro-rides can get them cheaper from some other crowd - thing is the superflex ones are actually made in Australia!!!!?!?!?!? You're closer to them than i am! Here's a link to their listing for the HC: http://www.superflex.co.uk/results.php?maker=20&man_name=GM&searchmodel=108&Search=Go I bought the full set for my GT6 a few years ago and it cost me around £350 for the lot, stupid money but it genuinely transformed the car - i'll dig around to see if i have any of the wrappers left to find an address for the Australian company Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raizer Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 Try BNT for a trade discount, I replaced every bush in my old Escort with decent Noltech bushes for under $300 (Unless you count the bushes in the strut tops, since I got Noltech Grunt camber tops lol) And it was sub $500 for every bush for my old Subaru Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anhonyb Posted January 18, 2010 Author Share Posted January 18, 2010 superflex are the ones supercheap do iv got all there part numbers but it added up to $1000 from them sweet jesus.do they "need" to be nolathane? i have a box of assorted GM suspension bushes that i dont mind digging through and measuring I'll measure mine up and take a few pics i suppose You'll need to anyway to get them from Repco? Ask DAP or CAP? They might have some.. or look on te.co.nz like i did i asked DAP and they said they have part numbers of nolathane bushes they use but they said some need 'customising' and te only has them for old as vauxhalls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m0ss4yy Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 Got a mate at BNT aswell in New Lynn. So I can ask him for them aswell. If not, get the Nolathane numbers you need, ask Ben from Repco how much, then We'll go to BNT to ask Philip how much, then find prices on TM and see what we can get them at Can get mate Dylan to get them doubly cheap from BNT, hi uncles knows guys there like his own family so should be able to get them well under $1008 for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
