Russ is gangsta old school from the ATL. I've gotten tons of stuff through him, and he knows more than anybody about what crap is the same between cars.

Yeap. He pretty much can get you what you need, as long as it was made and sold here in the US.

He will also stab n00bs in the necks with sporks, from what I've heard :D

[raen419]

Yeah, Russ has gotten tired of noobs asking the same old questions over the years. However, in the few times I've dealt with him directly, I've had nothing but good experiences. Cool guy. Then again, I'm far from a noob...but I'm also rusty as hell after running around in the Miata for the last 2+ yrs.

I'm still waiting on response from him, i told him veilside told me he had z32 spindles... so i asked him to hook me up and that i can pay by paypal... but still no response.

[a_ahmed]

Those guys still did not respond to me, neither the zilvia one nor the fa one, nor did he respond to his thread, he said he does not check often so to mail him, i mailed him he didnt mail me back (did it go to junkmail lol)... if you know him, let him know im interested.... still need z32 aluminum rear spindles...

[veilside180sx]

Hmm...well I'll keep my eyes open for anyone else for you.

[a_ahmed]

One guy offered me this what do you think?

The drivers side spindle has the bushing pressed out except the lower shock mount, the passanger side still has all bushings:

How hard is it to get these bushings anyways, i know we had a thread on here for some solution to replace them all anyways?... Should I go for it? Doesn't look cracked, just bling painted...

[McCoy]

Doesn't ES make a kit that replaces most of the stock busings in the Z32? If so, you could get those...

That looks to be bead blasted...

[a_ahmed]

I heard the ES allow for no movement? Good bad?... bind?

[Epstein]

I've done spindle bushings (Nismo ones with steel outer races) and it's a pain in the ass. I wound up building my own tool with 12mm acme threaded rod from mcmaster-carr. I did the shock mount ones, too. The car is very solid in the rear now, but the deflection in the bushing is extremely small in twist. Probably negligible in compression.

[a_ahmed]

Well ill need some help to make that happen... im making the deal as we speak ill pay the guy tomorrow to ship to me... stupid shippment.. well 100$ shipped with paypal fees... if i understood him... otherwise woulda been 70 shipped.. im breaking out the bank lol :(..... and its missing bushings hmm but oh well... gotta get it...

[turtl631]

Drop a few bills on Def's upcoming sphericals.

After all, he did invest in a chinese lathe just for us.


Let's not mention anything about chinese manufacturing acumen, I saw what happened to that other thread.

[a_ahmed]

haha, well, hmm will see... i DO want it... im getting these uprights.. but i feel like the tax money im still waiting for to return lol will go fast.. i was suppose to buy a treadmill for my wife lmao... im giving also 1000 to my wife for her own use, rest is mine... minus some debts... that leaves me with almost like just thousand dollars tssk.. so i might not be able to buy everything at once but rather pace it.. ah well :( as long as i get it hehe

[McCoy]

There's a set of FA going for $40 shipped... someone better jump on it :D
