I am currently looking to get Daizen bushes (various ones) for my GS as I slowly replace every bush on the car as it has 160k kms on it and I think its due.
However, I am located in Australia and noticed that people in the states seem to have an issue with the delivery time of TM engineering, so I dont really want to push my luck with attempting to see how long it will take to the other side of the world. Is there someone else to order from who is a better match? Only a couple of the bushes need replacement as soon as possible, which would mean buying a different brand, one thats available in Australia (just generic) and then changing them AGAIN when i got the daizen ones. I would prefer to just do it once.
Also, for any Australians reading this, do you know of any places that resell in Australia? I couldnt find any but who knows. If not, and anyone wants to combine a shipment to save on freight or anything PM me, I'll make an actual thread on this closer to the time, but I'm just gauging interest..


P.S. Sorry if this makes little sense, i just woke up :3

Your best bet is to contact carson/L-tuned.com and tell them what bushings you need and let them tell you what's available. I'm going through this situation myself. I got caster bush from carson, steering bush from tm, and upper control arm bush from another member on here.

what bushes do you need??

I want to get the steering rack and control arm kits, and depending on postage maybe a swap bar as well. I need things like lower ball joints and a couple of others (havent had time to look but i know somethings suss in the rear suspension, so not sure which ones).
And yeah i may just have to eat the lead times for the bushes =/

I haven't had any issues with delivery last summer at all.

Ah sweet those lower ball joints are def on my to buy list.. Yeah when i called the dealer and they told me the price, they thought i hung up coz i was stunned for so long..
The daizen steering rack bushes are meant to be stiffer than OEM ones, which is why i want them, i dont like feeling like my car is on the end of a string I am swinging when I turn the wheel.. I know it wont ever feel like an r35 but a little improvement doesnt hurt.

HEY GUYS!

I am an Aussie here in Japan. I can get the the lower balljoints for around $60- each from my local Toyota Dealer. I often send stuff to Australia via EMS. Let me know if you are after a pair. I am picking mine up on Sunday!

Also, Try Super Pro. They still don't have a full listing yet for our cars, but I know that alot of the JZS147 bushes do fit, even if the arms themselves etc don't. I will be buying a few soon and then the remainder will be fitted when I ship the car back to Melbourne later next year.
