I don't have access to a Z32 at the moment, and I would like to request assistance from anyone who has a set of calipers and a jack to please measure a few things for me :biggrin: You would be totally awesome for helping me out!

I need to know the gap above and below the rear differential mounting tabs to the subframe surface (above) and the diff cross member (below). Basically I need to know how thick the factory bushings are. I would also like to see if I could get the bushing diameter measured.

I would really appreciate the help! Thanks :bigthumb:

Could you mark up a picture and post it so I know exactly what measurements you need.

I am so sorry, since we had this conversation I have been going through an immense amount of BS including losing my job (funny enough I got laid off on the 12th and haven't been on here since). I'm setting the alarm on my phone right now to get this measured tomorrow.
