i think this is what you're looking for, and this is what they're called "differential mounting bushings". you can probably find cheaper ones from peak performance, energy suspension, etc:

EDIT: i didn't even notice that SPL made the aluminum ones, i was actually originally referring ot the nismo mounts. so it's a little cheaper to go with the aluminum.

does anyone have the aluminum diff bushings? since the diff is constantly lashing, this would probably make things very noisy, but no play :)

The energy suspension bushings don't come with the diff washers needed to "cap" the end, as you're supposed to reuse the old ones.

i think id rather have ES ones than solid ones.
the nismo ones look to come with the cap needed. is that correct?
i think i should just go to a junkyard and pull some from a J30 or s14? am i right. correct me if im wrong.

yeah, if you look at their "install instructions" that looks like what you'll need.

haha, if you find a j30 vlsd at a junkyard let me know haha, but umm, the bushings from the junkyard will probably be shot too, see how the rubber on yours was all worn away.

another edit: i found some on rhdjapan.com too. but umm, i didn't see them mention s13:

that looks like it. I think as long as its made for the s14/z32 im good. thats what i need. i was under the impression there is a top and bottom to this setup?

There's a top and bottom, as it's a 2 peice bushing. You'll still need the retaining washer for the bottom, though.

Late to the party but yeah, I got a J30 vlsd on the S13 and used the J30 bushings. They are the same as the S14/Z32 ones aswell.
