Default Rear Subframe and Differential Bushing Question

Hello,

Going through a nightmare solid diff bushing install. I got the bushing (one on the subframe) in about 80% and couldn't get it in anymore. Fed up, I removed the entire rear subframe and took it to a place with a 20 ton press and we were able to get it in about 95% of the way? At which point their press wasn't strong enough anymore. They recommended to go somewhere with a stronger press and everything is closed until the weekday.

I guess my question is.. is the bushing, as it sits now, good enough for use? I was going to take it to one last shop when they're opened and if they can't do it I was going to have to remove it and I'll just go poly.

Also, is the rear subframe on the nismos the same as the non-nismos? When I was removing the subframe, asides from the damper (which came off separately), I didn't see anything special about it. Can anyone confirm?

EDIT: Did a parts search and it shows the same part # for the subframe on both the nismo and nonnismos .
Thanks all
