Any information??

I will ask. I was told the 350Z bushings would fit the 370Z and they have announced the release of the product but they don't mention it fitting the 370Z/G37 only the 350Z/G35 so now I'm confused.

M.Bonanni 01-17-2012 01:53 PM

Alright, just talked to someone at Whiteline, the 350Z ones they just released WILL NOT fit on the 370Z. No official word yet on the release of 370Z specific ones. :(

I'm sure they can modified to fit our cars.

Man... I'm itching to get these bushings when they become available. The 1-2 shift wheel hop under boost makes it difficult to get much traction.

I'd like to use a product like this in conjunction with the bushings:

i dont see how a broken bushing leaking fluid it needs to perform its job properly would be considered normal.....:confused:


i could feel a major stiffness increase once mine was fixed. i couldnt tel you how long it was busted, but i sure knew when the new one went in. just sayin

I could definitely feel it when the bushing was broken. Especially on a really hard 1-2 shift. Not sure how much the diff housing would move with the broken bushing but sometimes it felt like the stud on the rear cover was hitting something on hard shifts. That can't be good.

Just recently busted my differential bushing. Taking it to Nissan tomorrow. Just this past Friday I had them look at them b/c I was explaining wheel hop problems and they checked out okay but the next day at the track ya it busted so they want to look at my car before ordering the parts.

esfourteen 03-11-2012 09:36 PM

just wanted to give others a heads up, I spoke to whiteline and they are expecting to release the differential bushing kit for the 370z around mid year. I suspect the front bushings are the same but the rear mount in the subframe will be different.

V8Killer 03-12-2012 09:46 AM

Thanks for the update esfourteen, I take my car to the dealership in a couple hours. I wanted to know if anybody has a suggestion for something to help with wheel hop until whiteline comes out with their bushings? Sway bars maybe?

esfourteen 03-12-2012 10:42 AM

I'm considering filling the mount with 3m window weld if possible, i'll find out how much space there is if any once I swap my diff.

edit: actually just going back and looking at the pic the OP posted, it doesn't look like there room to add any window weld to, hopefully mine holds up until the whiteline comes out.

V8Killer 03-12-2012 12:49 PM

I'm at the dealership now and the manager is being a douche, they may not replace it under warranty due to neglect or abuse.
