I might have enough orders to place the r33 order now guys, so i'll be shooting off pm's in a few days about payment.

Others who are interested, let me know asap, otherwise you will have to wait until there is another batch of 5 people interested to get this low low price ;)

Seriously, these go for like $195 from UAS, and $266 from Noltec, so $155 is a damn good price.

Payment required for the r33/s13 bushes now guys. Others are waiting for theirs :D

Anyone else can still get in on this now. I may not do this again in the future at this price, so get in quick.

The whiteline versions are not complete bush replacements.

They are pineapples that simply compress the old bush to help stiffen up the std bush.

These bushes are 'stiff' as standard, you can then use the pineapples to angle the cradle down to help with traction.

yer, im not sure Whiteline actually make replacement subframe mounts, just pinapples as Cubes has mentioned.

Most people fit the pinapples as a bandaid solution to fix the flex in the rear subframe instead of replacing the oem mounts which these replace.

Or people tend to fit them damn alloy bush ones, which just crush the std bush down to make the rear subframe sit metal on metal, which aint good for NVH in the car.

These can be fitted along with the pinapple type to angle the cradle for traction, as also mentioned :P

edit: im keeping the gb open for a tad longer to get final numbers up, but it will be closing soon.

So I don't have to get the pinapples if I don't want to. If I simply want to make sure the subframe remains rigid under load then that's all I need?

So have you guys bought seperate pinapples to adjust traction then?

Nah you dont have to buy the pinapples if you dont want to. People fit them to stiffen up the mounting of the subframe to the car (which is what replacing these mounts does anyway). So you really just need these by themselves.

Im going to fit the pinapples as well while the subframe is out to set it up for traction. Basically i want to do all i can while the subframe is out to save having to drop it out again later.

The pic below shows where the pinapples go, these bushes are actually fitted to the subframe (see pic on first page) You need 4 small ones for traction.

i just got my pine apples today! i got them from otmotto, ben ellis advised me to use the 2large with cuts for the front and 2 small for the back for the traction set-up

OK, I'm convinced, what next? Will be at Adel 500 for the next 4 days so maybe Monday I'll organise payment.

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
