Cradle bushing??
The spacers (washers) on the stabilizer bar linkage are usually torqued tight enough to prevent any rattle. You can also check the big stabilizer bar bushing that's mounted to the subframe. From my experience they may look good but only when you take them out do you see how worn they really are.
If you never changed it, now is a good time.

[nissan4life]

^^^good advise they idle
I asked if it cud be the spacers on the linkage caz daz the only ting i havnt looked at.
I feel i goin with polyurethane rubbers for the linkage, never liked them lil black rubbers,they dry rott and compress with the heat.
Will change stablizer bar rubbers one time.
On Cs how hard is this? In terms of diy and the space to do?

[idlemind]

Totally DIY, did mine recently.
The big bushing lil difficult because of the location. Passenger side was harder to get to. I got those rubbers at DM for $60 a piece.

The linkage kit is very easy to do.
The poly bushings don't come with washers so you may need to source some. You can get a standard poly kit once the bore is for a 12mm bolt.

If you going oem rubber, grease everywhere rubber meets metal. If not, I've heard ppl recommend no grease for poly bushings as they squeak.

[BrotherHood]

@ wukkin PH. FYI, I don't. I have done an extreme amount of driving past couple months so I am not suprised if my transmission oil needs changing at the moment.

Biggs, I haven't put the brake pad clips in as yet. When I do(this weekend), I will let you and the group here know if the vibration has ceased.

[nissan4life]

Polyurethane linkage rubbers 60 for a pack of 4 at Autorama
Any one know where i cud get the polyurethane stabilizer rubbers?

[daniel135]

$36 for a pack of four polyurethane rubbers at automotive replacements in el socorro

[idlemind]

Have a wedding to attend. Really wanted to run this one.

Anyone has extra brake pad clips?
I changed my brakes recently and realize a couple are missing. Could've fallen out when the pads got low. Bought the new set of pads without clips and DM doesn't have the clip set in stock. Push come to shove I might look for new pads that come with clips.

DM rob yuh OEM brake pads does come with the clips.

FYI Zero, Clips don't come with the brake pads. It's a separate kit.

[ZeroOne]

yea just remembered that. I didn't get any for the front either.

mixed it up with the clip on the rear brake pads

[turbo_beast369]

ZeroOne what parts you bough from amayama.com?

[ZeroOne]

rocker cover gaskets

Im seeing oil on my spark plugs

[Biggs3ne]

Your plug seals need changing...no biggie..cheap too

[nissan4life]

Thanks dey daniel, they closer to highway or truvalue?

[idlemind]

Those bushings a lil thicker than original so you will either have to shave off some of the bushing or cut the linking sleeve. I end up cutting the sleeve since I didn't want to interfere with the bushings.

Zero, when I had my GDI, that plug seal was hard to get. It's not the same as the 4G18 seal kit Biggs. And it's further down in the head. Don't know if the seals easier to get now but that was one of the reasons why I converted.

[ZeroOne]

Problem is I'm looking at ASA and there is no plug seal.

Im seeing MD302172 SEAL,INLET VALVE STEM and MD307341 SEAL,EXHAUST VALVE STEM. Both comprise of 8 small rubber seals so thats 16 in all.

Might change this one time too MD362554 GASKET,CYLINDER HEAD

[idlemind]

Yup. It was always some ambiguity.
I heard its 4 circular seals and I also heard its one long 1/4" thick rectangular runner that's the width and length of the head. Never found it. Never changed it.

RC had it but he was charging me $8k to do a complete engine job. An engine at the time cost about $6k. So I just replaced the engine, as it was starting to smoke and fuel pump issues.

[ZeroOne]

Ive found them online. Their about 10US for both kits.

The head gasket is metal and nothing is wrong with mine so ill forget that.

8k is real robbery lol

Update on d gearbox conversion... Marvin wired and car running great

Only thing, the CS gearbox needs d manual axles (the CK boxes could use back d auto axles)
Found this rather strange as both boxes are similar... Both are F5M41
