you will Definitely feel a difference. I have the Nismo LCA kit and when i installed it the slop while turning is totally gone. i cant imagine what it would be like with the superpro bushing which are poly instead of 'hard rubber' (whatever that is)

Sorry to bring up an old post but how much more positive caster are we talking about between the superpro and the ES bushing? Any pictures available on this offset bushing next to one that isn't?

Why don’t you call suspension.com too?
I've just ordered one set and in 10days time I will be able to tell you if it fits or not.
They had 6 sets in stock. I guess now it’s five.

My guess is that you'll end up with the kit for the front control arms... But when you get them in, snap a few pics before you install them

Out Of Sight · 12-05-2006, 02:49 PM

I’ll keep you posted guys.
Before I placed the order I put the guy to check both bushing sets and see if they were different. They were totally different he said.
Four bushings in the 7.3112 package and two different size bushings in the 7.3113G package. It’s definitely not the same thing he said. He was certain that they fit the rear axle.
I will not install by myself but I’ll try at least take a photo of the bushings.
He had doubts though about the 7.1109 shifter linkage bushings. He told me he was uncertain if they fit the B15. They were for the B14. I ordered them also.

Ssentra02 · 12-05-2006, 03:59 PM

I know I should have searched first but is there a write up on installing these bushings?

Out Of Sight · 12-12-2006, 04:16 PM

Package picked-up today. It contained all the bushings I ordered including the famous 7.3113. It’s here guys! I have it! It’s certainly for the rear trailing arm. It’s not like the PolyPro. It’s a full body bushing. Maybe it is harder to install but certainly cheaper.
My car will be in the service-shop for a couple of days starting of tomorrow. I’m changing the rear axle (second time drum to disc conversion) new springs, rear sway bar, front brace bar and camber bolts. I think I will hardly notice any difference by the bushings themselves but I will let you know about my impressions and the installation progress.

Let the photos tell you the rest…

well i'll be damned ................

you would think they would've let on to somebody that they decided to make these afterall.

my apologies out of sight, es told me they were never going to make them

Out Of Sight · 12-14-2006, 05:42 PM

I’m afraid I will not install the 7.3113 pretty soon. I’m having trouble with my axle. I will have to change it again for a third and hopefully last time!
I used to have drums so I bought a used axle with discs. This axle came from a crashed car and it was not straight. The seller promised to find another so we waited and waited in order to find out today that the axle he brought us came from a B14 probably. It was smaller in dimension and the stud pattern was 4x100. We placed it temporarily till he finds the correct one. My rims support both patterns 4x100 and 4x114,3.
My car is not a B15. It’s called Almera N16 but shares the same chassis and interior with B15. There is also a 3door version in Europe, Africa and Australia (Pulsar N16). We have only 1.5l (QG15DE) and 1.8l (QG18DE) engines.
The 7.1110 motor mounts inserts unfortunately don’t fit my QG15DE engine. I will try to ask somebody with a QG18DE or a SR20DE found on some Primeras to test them.
I will check 7.1109 on later time.
The 9.8106 end link grommets probably fit the front sway bar only. I have recently placed one so probably I will not use them for now.
The 7.3112 fitted perfectly! That was a joy indeed!
Lot’s of photos will show you the process.

This where the 7.3113 should go

This was the easy bushing

Completed with some painting

The hard bushing

Back to the car

This is it...

djr1specV · 12-15-2006, 08:01 AM

Have you test driven it yet???
How does it feel?

Out Of Sight · 12-15-2006, 08:14 AM

No I haven’t. It’s not ready yet. The photos were taken last night. Only the right side was completed. I’m performing several alternations on the suspension system so maybe I will not feel the difference by the bushings themselves.

Out Of Sight · 12-18-2006, 08:24 AM

Well my car is ready but unfortunately only with the Front Bushings installed for the moment.
As I have told you I replaced my springs, placed a strut-brace and Whiteline camber bolts. The car stays steady on the road and feels really solid. I was on an up-hill road waiting for the traffic light to become green, put first gear, pressed the acceleration pedal quite hard but did not touch the wheel. My car went straight away till 6000rpm. I was astonished. It was done by accident the first time but I did the same test several times on a straight road too. I was spinning the wheels and the car was going straight! The is no way I could do that before…
