I have Solid Subframe bushings in my Z32 ( I know it is a different model), but the outcome will be the same. You will be able to put the power down faster, no wheel hop on launches and so forth. The only drawback is you will hear the drivetrain noise A LOT more. [Not near as bad] but think go watch an incar video camera of a race car. You will hear every pop, click and whine in the rear end. I am a race car junky and enjoy the noises....my wife not so much.
How many hours in labour do you think that is? 8?

EDIT: I'm looking for bushings like those whiteline makes for the 350z. They're are not solid metal which probably will help out in noisiness.
