Hey guys, so as you may have saw i just bought a zenki. I have a couple problems, first there's a knock in the rear end, which we figured out was my rear sub-frame bushings. But the shop said i cant get them separately, and i would need to order the whole sub-frame from japan so I was wondering where i might be able to get those, maybe a parts car, or has anyone seen sub-frame bushings around, where can i get them?

Second is a rattle in the engine when it's cold/ low rpm's, when I got it inspected the BCAA guy said it's likely due to timing chain wear, but the american motor head at my buddy's shop said the timing chain would last up to 300k becuase it's japanese , so what do you think?

And yea I need new front strut rods, thats what the shop said, did they mean tension rods? so i'm guessing just get them from pick-a-part or a parts car, or where is somewhere I can get them cheap? anyways, thanks.

cheers

I am pretty sure they have the bushings alone for sale or you could go with the aftermarket stuff. No one can put a spec on life of that chain...so I guess just ride dirty for as long as it or you can last, if you want. Yes tension rods are the same, probably find them from a person on here cheap as they get swapped for adjustables.

the rear subframe is interchangeable with the skylines. check with osakajdmmotors.com, the may have some. the noise is probally just the normal chain guide noise from the upper guide (it can be removed without any damage to chain system by removing the valve cover and then the small guide at tefront of the cams)
