My '11 Nismo has approximately half the miles yours does and I've already had to replace the front lower control arm bushings due to wear. Mine does however see 10-15 autox events a year on wide sticky hoosier slicks so factory bushing life will be shortened noticeably.

Definitely. My main issue right now is finding a local shop that knows the nuances of this car. Or at least these types of bushings. One mechanic told bushings are never oil filled, and the other is looking for them to totally fail and crack first. Failing to realize once it leaks, its time to go. I'm getting wheel hop, and the rear end isnt as stable as it should be. Front end doesnt seem as tight either.
Not sure I even want to go with OEM, but may not have a choice unless I pay out of pocket.
