Energy Suspension 350z Diff. Bushings In
 
Was kind of a pain in the *** I'm not going to lie, but it's done and fits the 370z (also confirmed by another member).

Could have used an air chisel but I managed the old fashion way with no power or air tools.

No excess noise noted and power seems to be going to the ground nicely.

Omg you could of used a sawzall. A few minutes tops.

glad to see you got it done, yeah air hammer/sheetmetal bit or reciprocating saw are nice, unless you are in an apartment parking lot.

any additional vibrations?

Did you replace the hole diff??? also what does the new bushing do?? Sorry noob question I know:ugh2:

1slow370 02-03-2014 12:19 PM

the new bushing mount the differential to the subframe more solidly so that it doesn't effect the driveshaft angles, this reduces wheel hop and quickens throttle response because instead of twisting the diff on its mounts the power is delivered to the wheels faster. May increase power just a tiny bit by preventing the axles from binding but probably nothing measurable.

Edit: it is also much more reliable than the factory silicone filled bushing which likes to blow out.

car feels the same. no additional vibration. only have launched one time and accidentally did so with traction control on, but it hooked right away. felt like it was putting the power down better.

will be doing the 1/8 mile this weekend, so i'll see if my times improve.
