What thickness is the steering bush? And the the hole sizes? It doesn't look the same as the ones you import.

poizen · Post by **poizen** » Thu Sep 30, 2010 8:13 am

the bush is 20mm and the holes i think gary made them 9mm or 8.5

the import ones are thiner because you use all that other crap you just take the rubber out this one takes everything out which i think is better

but steering feels much nicer with this cant wait to fit mine

Hey shot boet

Ja Big Thanks to PoiZN..... he came around yesterday again, we worked the whole day and got a lot of stuff done in the engine bay...

Radiator breather tank
New power steering tank
Alli pully's
New water pipes
new Clutch MC ( FYI - 2.4 Nissan hardbody is a direct fit to allow Greddy style Intake manifolds, its 2.5cm shorter )
match ported the Greddy intake Mani
redirected IC piping
and did some loom work

It looks like its coming together nicely.. even if it doesnt run well from sitting for so long its still gonna look pretty
