Poly bush rear subframe
No mate not the metal collars there for hard core drifters loads of diff noise with them fitted .I mean yellow polly pinapple bushes but if your going to replace the original nissan bushes then i dont think you need to bother with locking rings.Power flex sell the rear bushes these are split in 2 peices with a metal tube in the middle and easy to fit there the same as s13/s14/skyline/.Nismo also sell them but there in a metal casing the same as the orginal and look the same as the orginal and a pain to fit press needed.Whiteline locking pinapples just save the factory bushes from getting knackered and stifen up the back end.

Poly bush rear subframe
If the rear subframe bushes arent leaking go for the whiteline subframe locking pinapples these lock the rear subframe hard up to the chassis easy to fit no need to drop subframe completely just undo the nuts and washer cups and fit .You can get these from demontweeks about £50.Ive fitted rear subframe bushes before on s13 and s14 and have been a complete bitch/ drills/ holecutter /sledgehammer/ blow torch /hacksaw /.Ive fitted these pinapples to mine in half an hour.

What spacers for me rims?
Supras have a 50mm something centre bore as factory these would not fit but because they are after market wheels they should fit with a spigot ring .Genrally after market wheels have a big centre bore to allow for diffrent centre bores from various manufacters.Also spacers come in slip on in 3mm use standard studs 5mm use standard studs 6mm use standard studs 10mm need longer studs.15mm bolt ons built in studs 20mm bolt on built in studs 25mm bolt on built in studs .you can get 15 mm slip on with longer studs and 15mm bolt on but bolt ons are hard to find jdm only .HaR and eibach do bolt ons slip ons any motor store eg halfords longer studs nismo.

Rear crossbar fitment

NA rear sub frame
Most na diffs dont have abs sensors on the output shafts so you will have to loose that as well.And i think you will need na drive shafts because the have 5 bolts instead of 6 and also na rear hubs as na driveshafts are a diffrent diameter and diffrent splines .And na rear hubs have the toe arm mounting point which is inplace of the rear trackrod end on a tt.It can be done but a lot of greif.R200 NA diff is still strong it will take tt power easy .R230 tt is strong as well.200 stands for 200mm crown wheel.R200 will take 500 plus bhp.

HICAS Eliminator
You dont need a hicas bar to lock the rear steer up it can be done with a tomei machanical hicas lock kit .This saves the hassle of blocking pipes up and removing rear rack not 100% sure how it works there is a picture of it on driftworks site in there shop section £125 .Im thinking about getting one.
